* ''VideoGame/NineteenSeventeenTheAlienInvasionDX'' begins in 1917 (well, obviously) where Europe is in the middle of the UsefulNotes/FirstWorldWar, only for an AlienInvasion to interrupt and tear most of the world to pieces. Your character, a German AcePilot controlling a top-secret high-tech biplane, battles the invaders and eventually neutralizes the alien threat... only for the DistantEpilogue two decades later, where despite the world uniting after surviving the alien assault, the UsefulNotes/SecondWorldWar ''still'' happens two decades later anyways.

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/AgeOfEmpiresII'' has a scenario covering UsefulNotes/TheFallOfConstantinople wherein the player controls the Byzantines. The scenario ends with the Byzantines averting their demise by holding out long enough for crusader reinforcements to arrive and forcing the Ottomans to lift the siege. However, rather than depict what would come of this AlternateHistory where the siege failed, the post-scenario outro depicts the historical outcome as if the Ottomans still managed to capture the city in spite of the player's intervention.

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarIII'' is a GenerationalSaga whose specific plot points can take some curious turns as you proceed through the game, but it all ultimately comes down to facing Orakio's deranged brother Rulakir within the floating city of Lashute to resolve matters. A lesser example is the character of Kara, General Lune's daughter, who will have been raised as either a sweet young lady or as a WarriorPrincess depending on when Lune managed to broker peace with the Orakians, but she will always be a member of the final party and a skilled [[PrecisionGuidedBoomerang slicer]] wielder.

Added DiffLines:

* ''ComicBook/SwampThing'': In the "River Run" arc of Creator/MarkMillar's run, one of the alternate realities Swamp Thing visits is a more realistic universe where the key differences of this reality's incarnation of Alec Holland are that he never became Swamp Thing, his wife Linda is killed by criminals trying to intimidate Alec into giving up development of his biorestorative formula and he has a daughter named Anna. Nevertheless, the story ends with the implication that this Alec Holland will still meet and fall in love with his reality's Abigail Arcane.

* After meticuously avoiding this trope in the epic ''Literature/LookToTheWest'', Thande enthusiastically embraces it in ''[[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/tliaw-the-unreformed-kingdom.363883/ The Unreformed Kingdom]]'', with a point-of-departure in 1815 leading to a 2015 that is ''very'' different from our world, but full of strangely familiar people.

* In one dimension of ''[[Roleplay/WeAreOurAvatars WAOA]]'', Aurora was a Dragonborn. Her habits haven't changed at all. In fact, she sent a cake with moon sugar inside it. [[IntoxicationEnsues The end result was predictable]].

** In a recent story about what would happen if Wrestling/{{Goldberg}}'s streak hadn't been broken, regardless of everything that changes as a result of this, Wrestling/{{WCW}} still collapses. WordOfGod says that this was the whole point of the story (that WCW's eventual, inevitable collapse wasn't due to one particular incident, but that they would have found some way to screw up and fail no matter what).
