7 Heroic Video Game Sacrifices That Meant NOTHING

If the sheer amount of radiation, lasers, and explosion the Lone Wanderer survives didn't tell you clearly enough that they are the true and blue hero of the story, the narrative itself goes to great lengths to tell the player that they are The Chosen One in all but name.

However, when Fallout 3 chooses to drop the plot armor it drops it bloody hard, as come the close of the game you'll find your once impossibly strong build reduced to a pile of irradiated goo just because the story deems it fit for you to die.

Oh well, you might think, it's all for the Great Good TM and so I'll willingly walk past my robotic companions and those immune to radiation to step into this chamber and....wait a minute, let's roll this back a second. Why can't we send in our companions that are both immune to radiation and are capable of pushing a button again?

Well because the vanilla game says so that's why, meaning that while you heroic sacrifice meant a lot to the people of the Wasteland, it could have been so easily avoided and not even become a scenario requiring a "heroic sacrifice" in the first bloody place!
