    Why’d you have to bring this to my face uh?

  2. ShermyTheCat

    In Baldurs Gate 3 I got all the way to act 3 without realising I missed my chance to start romancing Karlach in act 1. So obviously I had to start the whole game again

    Triggering Mr. Resetti in Animal Crossing comes to mind.

  4. Spyes23

    Not reading item descriptions in Souls games.

    Loading instead of saving,
    or even worse,
    saving instead of loading.

    Final Fantasy Tactics, Riovanes Castle. Saving over your only save file right before the Ramza-Wiegraf duel. Many a game has ended right here.

    you posted my worst nightmare

    and I don’t want to hear again what that damn owl said again ╰(‵□′)╯

    ->Yes

    **No**

    Losing your progress, whether it’s as little as your inventory or as big as a save file.

    Skipping any important cutscene by accident, and then not knowing wtf is happening lmao

    You know if you accidentally click yes there, you can press B and it’ll skip the entire thing right up to the “Do you want to hear again?” prompt. It works for any texts you’ve already heard, and a lot of unimportant NPC chatter.

    Kill any friendly NPC is the worst mistake you can make in Elden Ring

    Becoming a vampire in Obivion

    Getting all the way to the end of Bloodborne and accidentally accept Gehrman’s offer.

    When the ‘take all’ button also works in reverse and I’m in a hurry and suddenly I’m naked and unarmed.

    Oh nothing serious about it, I just chugged in every Firekeeper Soul on my first playthrough.

    Get cocky when the boss is low HP, then get hit by 3 attacks and now you have to do the fight all over again

    Accidentally going down the main path and locking yourself out from back tracking to a side path you missed.

    Going from one action game to another and telling myself I can easily learn the new default controller layout rather than going to the trouble to change it. Then I keep healing when I want to throw a grenade, or throwing a grenade when I want to heal.

    Not saving a game with no autosave

  20. ShermyTheCat

    Keeping going past Marauder Shields in Mass Effect 3

  21. rockout7

    Jumping off high cliffs, discovering a new zone, and seeing auto save as you are about to hit the ground.

    Killing the The bonding plant on Return to Zork

  23. incrediblynormalpers

    you just retraumatised me after 20 years

  24. Bumpsinthenight1090

    Not saving in Fallout. Got soft locked into an endless loop of stepping outside and getting hit immediately by a super mutant with a nuke. I hadn’t saved in 3 hrs.

    Going through an autosave door with little health and magicka while a Daedra with black robes, that shoots lightening weilding a mace, starts spawning into existence in front of me.

    No health potions and I did not save beforehand ( if I die, I start from scratch ). Am I cooked chat?
