* ''[[VideoGame/WWEVideoGames WWE Smackdown Here Comes The Pain]]'' has this occur in Season Mode should you win the Wrestling/RoyalRumble. No matter how far away you were from the ropes upon defeating your last opponent, the cutscene shows both you and them falling out at the same time, only for you to grab the rope just in time. It remains close enough that said opponent is able to claim that themselves as the real winner, starting a feud with you, leading to a match to decide who gets the spot in Wrestling/WrestleMania’s main event.

** In the SNES remake of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros'', if Mario/Luigi defeated [[BigBad Bowser]] while small, then a Super Mushroom will fall on top of him, causing him to grow, before the ending starts. As a result, Mario/Luigi will always start "hard mode" (where all [[TheGoomba Goombas]] are replaced by Buzzy Beetles, all other enemies move faster, and there are now more enemies in the game) in his Super form, and as a result the SNES remake marks the only time he will get a [[PlayingWithFire Fire]] [[PowerUp Flower]] in the "?" block after the game's was-been first [[TheGoomba Goomba]].

* In ''[[VideoGame/{{Goldeneye 1997}} Goldeneye]]'' a {{cutscene}} replaying your death is shown every time you die. However, possibly due to engine limitations the scene is set a few seconds after your death, so if you were clipped by one soldier's stray bullet, the cutscene might show several people who have since come in surrounding you and spraying you from all angles, implying massive incompetence on the player's part. If you were killed by a crate exploding, you'll be shown suddenly dying with smoke around, crate already exploded.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Halo 3}}'', it is possible to drive a small quad bike (Mongoose) for the final level. After a massive Leap of Faith it changes to a cutscene, which features a Warthog vehicle. This is particularly jarring because the cutscene kicks in whilst you're flying through the air.

** Oghren will still join you in the ''Awakening'' expansion pack even if you didn't recruit him (or dropped his approval low enough to pick a fight and kill him) during ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins''.

''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', although he will {{Handwave}} the latter saying that death "didn't stick". Oghren will also be stated to be together again with his lover Felsi and to have had a son with her, regardless if you were sucessful in his MatchMakerQuest in Origins or not.

* ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedBrotherhood'' seems to takes its own subtitle to mean that Ezio has exclusively headhunted dudes into the Roman Assassins, even though women can be recruited (scarse as the opportunities for that are[[note]]while the recruits' names and appearances are always randomized, their sex depends on where you recruit them, and there are far fewer spawn spots for female citizens than for males; ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRevelations'' later did away with it, fully randomizing gender, as well[[/note]]) and [[PurelyAestheticGender perform just as well as men]][[note]]the game even gives you a "cheat" named "Sisterhood" that {{Gender Flip}}s your male recruits[[/note]]. However, all of the cutscenes only ever feature male Assassins: most prominently, the initiation ceremony at the hideout has the soon-to-be Assassin walk between two ranks of solemn dudes in hoods -- even if your entire order is an AmazonBrigade. Most egregiously, though, a late-game mission has the assassins don Roman legionnaire disguises which would clearly reveal their sexes -- so the game simply replaces your actual female recruits with up to four generic dudes for the duration of the mission.

* In ''Videogame/AgeOfMythology'', you're supposed to complete a set of tasks to power up Arkantos into a demigod in order to defeat the extremely powerful and near-invincible Living Poseidon Statue. However, if you somehow manage to defeat the statue without Arkantos the final cutscene will show demigod Arkantos dueling the statue anyway.

* In the first ''Videogame/BaldursGate'', Imoen is classed as a thief, but may be dual-classed into Mage. Whether you
do this or not, she is a dual-class Thief/Mage at the start of ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' II. This is not simply a gameplay issue, as the story requires Imoen to be a mage [[spoiler:so she can be arrested by the Cowled Wizards and taken to Spellhold, as part of Irenicus' plan.]]
