10 Worst-Kept Spoilers In Video Game History

3. Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic – You’re The Bad Guy

Much like Silent Hill 2's it-was-you-all-along twist, this is so mind-blowing that it has to be talked about across the internet.

Despite the game letting you choose which side of the force you want to veer towards, the outcome is always the same: you’re a brainwashed Sith. The path you choose determines whether you return to your dark ways or turn to the light in the climactic decision of the game, but this twist has become so well known, that influencing which path you want your protagonist to take is pretty easy.

Twists like these always garner too much attention to keep them a surprise for long, as such a revelation can make you reassess the entire game. While a lot of character deaths serve as simple plot events or a casualty of a tumultuous battle, finding out the character you play as isn’t who you think they are is huge.
