10 Extremely Rare Video Game Outcomes You've Never Seen Before
6. Bizzare Massacre - Wasteland 3
One of the missions in Wasteland 3, a 2020 isometric RPG, requires you to resolve a conflict between a criminal syndicate known as the Cartel and the Bizarre, a merchant group of ex-raiders who dress up in Halloween masks and pretend to be monsters (yes, it's THAT kind of apocalypse setting).
The game wants you to make a decision to side with the Cartel and help them take over Bizarre’s market by force, or help “the monsters” defend themselves from the attackers.
Since the decision happens once you're deep into the storyline of the quest, you’re likely to make your choice and stand with your preferred group right away.
However, if you decide to wait around without making the choice, the game will actually make it for you, leading to an unexpected outcome.
You see, the mission has a secret third ending, where if neither side is picked for a while, the Cartel ambushes the Bizarre without your help, and both groups wipe each other out completely. The Bizarre becomes a bloody battlefield, and you only discover it after you step inside and realize everyone is dead and gone.
Well, you shouldn’t have expected the game to wait for you forever.
