Well, nobody actually uses arrows for anything except sport archery in the Infinite Sea, but I digress.
And of course, not everyone has that mindset (Cazarosta and his callous disregard for his own life is a good example). Someone is always desperate enough for glory or promotion to step forward, but that person doesn’t have to be you.
I decided to play a mad psychopath ex mma fighter in zombie exodus: safe heaven. Been killed by the fourth dude I tried to murder. And he was already hurt before. Feel bad, it was unnexpected, as my character was a specialist in range and melee weapon. Guess I was too greedy for that one.
Really? I loved that ending because I learned more about the farm, “cuckoos,” and frankly I like anything that makes my poor MC’s life more complicated.
Well in I, Cyborg, I just got blown up by a person that turned me back on (yeah cause I failed at getting the bus back) just to gloat about the fact that she was about to kill me. I feel pretty dumb right now
It was definitely that one time I tried to avenge my parents and save the kingdom of Daria but ended up actually destroying everyone and everything I ever cared about by with my unintentional demonic invasion.
If you fail in the midgame, you get sent down to hell, where a demon (?) invests you with the powers of hell, and sends you back up to earth to finish what you started.
If you fail again in the endgame, one of the possible punishments you receive is being turned into a brick for a latrine in hell, or something to that effect.
The worst endings I got whas in Blood Money: Because in the end there is no way to really let everything go back how it whas if I do not die.
Hero Rise Hero Project: Getting Eliminated instead of Scoundrel
and Wizardry Lvl C getting Turned into an Undead willingless Minion.
Look, my granduncle survived WW2 because of that. (My grandpa tried it, but was sent on the Normandy landing, and suvived by getting off of the boat, dropping his gear in the ocean, swimming instead of standing, then hiding where the fighting was lightest until it was over. Given that he was on Omaha beach, I’m glad he chose to live or I would not be here. Later, Patton would threaten to have grandpa shot. So that’s my claim to fame, I guess. Patton threatened to exicute my grandfather for cowardice in the face of the enemy)
Remember if you ever get drafted. Never fucking volunteer. Never go above and beyond. For any physical activity do as shittily as possible. Get good at missing the target when shooting and pretending to be trying. Get good at sucking. If you’re lucky, they’ll keep you far away from the front lines as you’re clearly a liability to everyone.
It’s better to be beaten by the drill instructor than to be shot at.
Well, maybe not the absolute worst ending I ever got, but my first playthrough of Mysteries of Baroque ended on a decidedly downer ending.
my MC was dedicated on taking revenge on her twat of a cousin (especially since they were supposed to have good relations before he apparently decided murder was an appropriate behaviour), though that resolve failed to materialize into real action, what with being distracted with all the shit that was going on. So come the finale and the coming your world-ending eldritch abomination. The MC resists a first time, then gets offered a last chance at catching cousin jerk, can’t because “oh, now you care about that? Too little too late, hero”.
And then comes the eldritch abomination with a “you know what, I can totally help you murder that ashat, if you let me in”. And so it was done, while knowing how terrible an idea that was all along. Essentially my MC doomed an entire planet (and presumably her immortal soul) because she couldn’t manage to take revenge properly on her own.
