History NoodleIncident / Videogames

** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'':

* ''{{VideoGame/Limbo}}'': The kid and his sister are [[spoiler:dead. We find that out in the [[DeadAllAlong ending and title]] screen. But how did they both die, and why is the rope ladder on their treehouse broken?]] Maybe it's best we don't know.

* From the ''Franchise/MassEffect'' series:

* ''VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar'' has this description for the "Pocket Watch" Thing:
-->While this thing can theoretically manipulate time, every effort to use it to go back and avert that unfortunate chowder incident has failed.
* ''VideoGame/PillarsOfEternity'':
-->'''Peregund:''' ...And that was a bigger mistake than that time I allowed a cipher to court me.

* ''{{VideoGame/Plantasia}}'': Before arriving at Jack's estate to grant him a wish, Holly's completed list of tasks to become a full fairy included solving the Sphinx's riddle, visiting the stone circle, and defeating a villain. It's anyone's guess as to how those went.

** There are many cases of vague events that are alluded in the Operators' profile as a part of the game's world-building; things like the implications that Siege is Victoria's heir-in-hiding, Mostima's disgrace that turned her into a fallen Sankta, Nightingale's captivity and her rescue by Shining and Nearl, the entire 'Kazdel matter', and the incident in Andreana's childhood that turned her superhuman like the Abyssal Hunters. This is done likely to give a story fodder for events, as one of the NoodleIncident - the Ursus Self-Governing Students' flight from Chernobog, is told in "Children of Ursus" event. When Istina says that it's better [[YouDoNotWantToKnow if the Doctor doesn't know]], [[HarmfulToMinors boy, she's completely serious]].

* In the "Claptastic Voyage" DLC for ''VideoGame/BorderlandsThePreSequel'', you discover that Claptrap has - at some point - burned down a church. The dialogue afterwards reveals that no less than ''four'' of Claptrap's fellow Vault Hunters have, in unexplained circumstances, done the same.

* One of the things a character can say while camping in ''VideoGame/DarkestDungeon'' is "This reminds me of that time in the Weald--just without all the spiders."

* ''VideoGame/GoldenEye1997'' has one mission where (on the higher difficulties) Bond has to plant explosives in a missile silo and get out before the automatic timer reaches zero. One of the pre-mission briefing files talks about having to work quickly once the first set of explosives is planted - that particular memo ends with "remember what happened to 004 in Beirut."

** After creating your character, a cutscene plays where Pierce and King chew out the Boss for a problem that "alienated part of America/crazy people" and caused approval ratings to [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating drop to (not by) twenty points]].

* This is probably how [[Franchise/AceAttorney Phoenix Wright]] convicts his opponents (even if they're good guys or [[MirrorMatch himself]]) in ''VideoGame/UltimateMarvelVsCapcom3'' when using his Level 3 Hyper Combo. We don't know what they did, but he can find them guilty for it. Not even counting the {{Eldritch Abomination}}s that should be above the law, he can even convict Doctor Doom, who has diplomatic immunity. And evidence of their guilt can be [[NoodleImplements a vase, a watch, and a photograph]]. Yes, somehow he can use these to prove the real author of a crime was [[{{Videogame/Okami}} the wolf goddess of the sun]].

** Funnily enough, this comes up again in ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyModernWarfare2019'', during TheStinger. [[spoiler:When Kamarov shows up to brief Price on Al-Asad, he first hands him a pack of cigars, saying "this is for Beirut."]]

---->'''Sheogorath:''' You are far too hard on yourself, my dear, sweet, homicidally insane Pelagius. What would the people do without you? Dance? Sing? Smile? Grow old? You are the best Septim that's ever ruled. Well, except for that Martin fellow, but he turned into a dragon god, and that's hardly sporting... You know, I was there for that whole sordid affair. Marvelous time! Butterflies, blood, a Fox, a severed head... Oh, and the cheese! To die for.[[labelnote:Spoilery possible explanation]]These are all items and elements related to [[[Videogame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion the previous game]]'s more prominent questlines, including one from ''Shivering Isles'' which sees the player character taking up Sheogorath's mantle; it's likely this Sheogorath was once the player character in question but adapted to the role[[/labelnote]]"

* ''VideoGame/{{Red Dead Redemption 2}}'': The botched Blackwater Ferry Heist, also known in-universe as the Blackwater Massacre of 1899.

* ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTenseiPersona'':

* At the beginning of ''VideoGame/SydneyHunterAndTheCurseOfTheMayan'', when he first gets trapped in the pyramid, Sydney stated that he hopes he doesn't encounter any "Sacred Tribe", and that he still has nightmares about his last encounter.

*** Then there's Mordin mentioning how he's killed people with guns, knives, drugs, tech attacks, "once with farming equipment", but ''never'' with medicine! Mind you, in the DLC, you find out just what the farming equipment was. [[spoiler:He killed a Krogan civilian farmer by stabbing him in the face with a pitchfork during [[MyGreatestFailure a black-op to spread a manufactured disease]].]]

---->'''Medic:''' ...It gets better! Vhen ze patient woke up, his skeleton was missing, and ze doctor was never heard from again! ''[laughs]'' Anyway, zat's how I lost my medical license.

* ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV'' has a number of noodle incidents the player can find Trevor in the midst of when switching control to him, including (but not limited to) being chased by the police, waking up drunk in strange locations, chasing a burning car while apologizing for flashing the driver, tying businessmen to the underside of a pier while criticizing trickle-down economics, waking up on a mountain in a bloodstained dress, and waking up in the middle of the desert in his underwear while surrounded by corpses.
