20 Video Games That Mock You For Failing The Tutorial

20. Defying The Gods - Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire

Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is a 2018 role-playing video game developed by Obsidian Entertainment. The game is rich with story and different decisions you and your team can make along your quest, to the point where you can actually refuse to start the main quest… and then suffer the consequences.

Pillars of Eternity II starts with a prologue in which your character nearly dies and their soul is summoned by the goddess Berath for a special audience.

Berath informs you that she pulled your soul into the beyond right after another god, Eothas, awoke in your world and killed hundreds of people. She then demands that you serve her and pursue Eothas before he unleashes more devastation or accept death and be returned to the Wheel.

Choosing to cooperate with Berath starts the main mission and the game. However, you can actually choose to refuse her. Doing so will make the goddess order her servant to escort you to the beyond, after which a secret ending scene will play, describing your soul fading away and then reincarnating as a cat.

It’s supposed to be a bad ending, but honestly, starting a new life as a blissfully ignorant feline doesn’t sound half bad.
