10 Video Game Endings Where Nothing You Did Matters

While Telltale Games' interactive episodic stories are concerned with player choice, it's fair to say that the choices are for the most part relatively inconsequential in the scope of the overall story.

And that's perhaps no true than in Telltale's Game of Thrones, because while you can certainly take a different route to the ending, the ultimate outcome is basically the same no matter what - there's no way to win the final battle, House Forrester gets overthrown, and the majority of the same characters will end up dead.

While it's arguably a fittingly bleak result for a video game based on an IP known for laughing at the very concept of plot armour, in a game supposedly sold on the notion of player choice, it can't help but sting that players are unable to affect a more fortuitous fate for the Forresters. 

By the end only a feeling of emptiness remains, firm in the knowledge that nothing could be done to stop the inevitable.
