    In Katana Zero at one point a villain offers you a chance to die before a progressive condition causes you to be permanently trapped experiencing a single infinitely long moment. Sounded like a good deal, took it, and never bothered to get any other ending.

      Made the same choice in my first playthrough of 2077. It seemed the thing the person i was roleplaying would do. Didn’t start a new game untill the recent patch dropped.

        Yeah, I also got this ending but you can keep playing from there… what a great game, waiting for DLC :)

    In Far Cry 4 >!you can just wait for Pagan Min (the antagonist) at the very beginning of the game. He lets you spread your Mom’s ashes and leave in peace.!<

    Morrowind. Dagoth Ur would bring about a paradise reality where everyone is shown how to wake from their slumber, and are endowed with something greater than the powers of all the gods, which will bring the ends of all suffering, sorrow, pain, hate, and jealousy.

    He would unite all life to a frightening and beautiful singular purpose: a utopian reality would be created, where all life is sacred, and nothing is taken for granted; it would look alien, monstrous and strange, but that is the ultimate cost of profound and terrifying change.

      Legit, when I first fought him and he was trying to convince me to join his side, I was like “Heck yeah, ill join him when i meet him”.

      Sadly not actually an option, was pretty disappointed.

      Yeah and Yog Sothoth(known in the Elder Scrolls as herma mora) will free you from the prison of time. All it will cost you is everything that makes you exist.

    In Nier Automata, dying in first mission will immediately show one of the ending which also include credit scene

      And it fucking sucks. You have to redo maybe around 30 minutes again to even get to the real game. After some google everyone recommends to just lower to easiest difficulty for that. Still leaves bitter taste.

      (I know and I don’t care if there’s lore reason)

        Nier Automata is one of my top 3 favorite games of all time but I agree with you. The beginning sequence sucks.

    That isn’t a speedrun, if you meet the antagonist early on, it’s nearly always scripted and you can’t die.

    Well, unless it’s Dagoth Ur, he wait at you at all times. Whenever you’re ready, Nerevar. Come to him, though fire and war. Fastest speedrun was like not even 10 minutes.

      Fastest speedrun was like not even 10 minutes.

      And that was to beat him. Just reaching him and dying to him should go substantially faster:

      • get levitation potions/scrolls
      • grab Icarian Flight
      • have some form of suped speed enhancement (cumulative potions, Boots of Blinding Speed etc.)
      • carefully aim north of Ghost Gate and hop
      • rush through Dagoth Ur (location) into Facility Chamber
      • whack ol’ Three Eyes and have him demolish you

    🤔 How would people feel if they were playing a game where the antagonist actually was absolutely right, like a hero antagonist, and it wasn’t immediately obvious you are playing a villain protagonist?
