8 Video Game Heroes That Refuse To Do What You Tell Them

Now, this is a truly strange example, as in Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love For Sail! Larry isn't actually the only main character of the piece. All of his actions are narrated by an unseen voice, and this isn't just some passive disembodied voice, as this narrator actually steps in to prevent puzzles from being solved!

Across your pitiful sex-venture Larry will often come up against bizarre problems that need to be solved in even more bizarre ways.

While the solution might appear simple sometimes, the Narrator may get in the way to tell you "You don't need to do this" or "Not right now", making for the strange case where Larry himself seems pretty keen to move things along, but the Narrator doesn't.

Therefore this is more an example of a Video Game Hero Being Prevented From Even Being Told What To Do In The First Place! which admittedly isn't as catch a list title.
