Starcraft 2 While it was said that we needed the Queen of Blades, I thought it was more a warning not to kill her. And look at her hair at the end, she probably still is part Zerg (and the next game is about her regaining control, and improving the Zerg). Going by what she's done before, and that she was after the artifacts, its a good bet that galaxy would of been screwed had she gotten the artifact, and the only was to make sure that she didn't was to do what they did.
METAL GEAR SOLID:
what about after the first time you fight sniper wolf? you can look at the door and see that it's a higher level than the security card that you currently possess.
but the game requires you to try anyway, only to be ambushed and captured.
-Z-: yoinked the Symphony of the Night example; when alucard goes and gathers the bits of dracula, shaft is already dead, having died laughing about how he succeeded at bringing back dracula. presumably the body parts were little more than a set of keys to go and kick daddy's behind back into the netherworld.
Hide / Show RepliesOf course, you have to kill Shaft again later anyway. He has an annoying habit of needing to be killed twice, doesn't he?
Skyrim shouldn't really be here; you can avoid falling in by exploring the doorways to the sides of the room. You can even hear the mage saying things to the effect of "I know you're there, go towards the trap!". I fell in the first time, but after reloading I managed to sneak around and sneak attack him.
