** On a more meta level, the segment of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' set in the Fade is generally regarded as ThatOneLevel, and many players would react the same way to the suggestion that they go through it again.

* In ''Dragon Age'', the party is a group of Gray Warden recruits, and the adventure is set before the first game (as indicated by the presence of Duncan)... which means that their characters all probably died at Ostagar.

That was just a recap, nothing fridge brilliance about it.


** On a more meta level, the segment of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' set in the Fade is generally regarded as ThatOneLevel, and many players would react the same way to the suggestion that they go through it again.
* The Fiasco story. The seedy club owner tries to get an insurance payout to settle his debts with the Mob, by burning down his club; which backfires when he gets stuck inside of it as it burns to the ground. The crook attempts to steal from the Russian mafia on the last night of business at said club, only to run into the owner who also wants the stuff the crook is after. The ex-wife of the owner is looking to start a new life in Hollywood, but gets roped into the one last score at the club, and is used as a distraction while the crook steals a briefcase full of Russian heroin, but she still loves her ex, and would rather stay at the club and dance. Finally there is the current golden girl at the club, who is leaving for Hollywood to be in a movie, and with her leaving go the hopes the club has of retaining business.
** The owner gets blasted in the back by one of his own explosives, tries to find his ex-wife in the building, and when he does the floor gives way just feet from her and he falls to his apparent death. A few months later, he is sitting under a bridge in New York, badly burnt and with unhealed fractures, clutching a charred picture of his ex-wife, telling it "I love you," over and over.
** The ex-wife gets her shot at stardom as she is seen dancing by everyone at the club. When she has second thoughts to the caper, her partner forces her to snort some coke (or 'white courage' as he called it) and she starts dancing without a care in the world. When the club catches fire, her dress is set ablaze, and as she is lying on the floor on fire, and she sees her ex fall to his death, the disco ball falls onto her and crushes her instantly; but on the bright side, she did go out in a blaze of glory...
** The crook's plan seemed to go off without a hitch. He had gotten access to the VIP Lounge, and had the perfect distraction; he had made it into the lounge and grabbed two briefcases full of heroin and was making his escape when he runs into the owner, who takes him down to the office for a chat. When the explosive goes off, he gets hit by the owners shotgun in the leg, and flees the office with one of the cases. Limping down into the lobby, he runs into the starlet, whom he is meant to be taking to Hollywood with him, and in his haste to get away drops the briefcase and trips onto another patron. He scrambles outside, burnt and with his leg completely messed up, and is seen to by paramedics. In hospital, the mob arrive and deliver swift justice for the theft, by ruining his legs completely. Then, an NYPD Detective arrives and questions him, and pins the arson on him. Finally, he is found guilty of Arson and multiple counts of Murder by the Grand Jury and sentenced to life in prison.
** The starlet, as it turns out, was aware of every plan going on. She knew the owner planned to destroy his club, and she knew the crook would try to steal from it on the last night. The mobster who the owner spoke to worked for her, and the mafia were also on her payroll. She more than likely paid off the detective and the judge to get the conviction, and even managed to sell the story of what happened as a film plot to a Hollywood director, as long as she got co-producer credit as well as lead actress. What sells this twist is that everything leading up to the moment she got the last winning dice would imply she was a girl just trying to move up in the business, but in reality she ''was'' the business.

** Additionally, Wil's character was a dwarf. Within the Dragon Age canon, dwarves do not dream, cannot become mages and, as a result, have the least experience of the fade. Every non-dwarf in the group has an entirely different reaction to the fade than him.
