10 Secret Game Over Screens That Were Absolute Genius

2. Dishonored - No Means No

Dishonored's Corvo perfectly displayed one of the problems with having a mute protagonist in your game - you can't object to some of the monumentally stupid decisions that the game forces you to make, like accepting a drink from a man who may as well have had "Ha Ha I'm Poisoning You" written across his chest.

Having said that, Corvo is still a very interesting character - although he apparently doesn't understand how personal space works.

Part way through the game, you can catch your resident inventor, Piero, peeking on Callista (a tutor to the empress) in the bath. Like the beacon of morality that you are, you send him off with a clip round the ear, and then have the chance to do exactly the same thing yourself. Alternatively, you can actually burst into the bathroom to get a close up view.

Naturally, Callista doesn't particularly appreciate this, and especially not if you ask her if she wants company in the bath. If Corvo chooses "not to hear" the very obvious rejection and gets in the bath anyway - then it's game over, friends, because the developers would very much like you to respect people's boundaries. The rebellion is dissolved, citing "irreconcilable hostilities" - and the city falls to the plague as a result. Years of work wasted - all because you couldn't keep it in your pants.

Shame on you, player.
