10 Video Games Where Forgetting Cost You Everything
1. Oops, The President Is Dead - Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty DLC begins with the quest to save the President of the New United States from a crashing airplane.
The mission is the beginning of your working relationship with Songbird that serves as the driving force of the DLC's narrative, so it's obviously important that you complete it.
And yet, for some reason, the game allows you to fail the quest and forsake any and all ways to delve into the DLC. Not only that, it can happen just because you forgot you started the mission!
Yes, although saving President Myers is a crucial point in Phantom Liberty's story and it's impossible to continue the DLC without it, it's possible to fail the objective by simply neglecting your promise to Songbird.
A few days after the girl calls you to give you the job, if you don't commence the operation, you will see a flaming wreck darting across the Night City skyline, and after it explodes, you will immediately get a call from your angry employer, telling you the president is dead and that she's never going to work with you again.
Afterward, the DLC's content will become fully inaccessible, including its absolutely overpowered weapons and implants.
Well, at least you know a career in the secret service isn't for you!
