* In various parts of ''VideoGame/TheFall Part 2: Unbound'', ARID, the AI you control, needs to inhabit the shell of another AI, which in turn makes her susceptible to complying with the original host's programming. If she tries to force them to deviate from their protocols, a dangerous computer virus starts to flare up, and the host AI will forcibly direct the shell away from deviation so as to avoid infection. Furthermore, the first shell you meet is a robotic butler whose AI can also inhabit nearby faculties within his environment, wherein ARID can fully direct the shell around, but she's limited by the range of the shell's networking capabilities.

Should the player try to fire, Snake mutters, "I can't do it!"
*** Averted if Snake has no missiles left, in which case he instead utters, "I'm out of missiles!"

* If your player character has a special animation for taking out their cellphone or walkie talkie to engage in a scripted conversation (for example, ''VideoGame/AlanWake'' or ''VideoGame/TombRaider2013'') there’s a good chance you don’t need to worry about doing anything harder than walking until the call is over.

* Controls will sometimes be taken away from you in ''VideoGame/MechWarrior'' games for a variety of reasons. For instance, during training missions, you will often only have access to a few functions at a time in order to ease into the controls. This is justified by being issued a training 'Mech, and therefore at the complete mercy of the (often acerbic) training instructor. Some proper missions will limit your actions at certain points--for example, during the "Peace Talks" mission in ''Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries'', your start with your throttle and guns powered down, as your presence at the talks is meant to be honorary. You get control back once things go sideways thanks to Capellan sabotage.

This trope takes a middle course: not taking control away from the player, but temporarily limiting the actions the player character is able to carry out so as to better focus the player's attention on the exposition. For example, supposing that in normal gameplay the PlayerCharacter can run, fire his or her weapon, jump, toss grenades and crouch. In this trope, the player remains in control of the player character, but during story scenes can do little more than walk around or crouch, such that the player will ideally be concentrating on the plot and characters rather than gameplay. (Forcing the player character to walk slowly can also double as DynamicLoading.)
