Honestly, the "do nothing" Far Cry 5 ending is the ending that makes logical sense. As the sheriff said, they would be signing their death certificates if they arrested Joseph Seed there. It was just 1 US Marshall, 1 local sheriff, and 1 Rookie--3 people against a cult that would make the Branch Davidians seem like cavemen, by comparison. The wise move would be leave, come back with the National Guard, and then arrest him. Shit would likely still go down, but Joseph Seed would be in custody.

That training you mention as "not being protocol" around 11 minutes in, is in fact, protocol (at least for the U.S. Army). Crawling under barbed wire as machine gun fire is shot overhead, teaching you to keep low and go as fast as you can to cover!~

Outer Wilds, dying from a fall or jumping into the geyser to drown before you got the launch codes. Spoiler of first hour or so below the fold: After getting your launch codes and trying to leave the observatory you will trigger the reason you wake up again after dying, dying before then thus leads to a game over and then credits roll. Whereas after this event happens you wake up in the starting location instead when you die.

[@san0mad]

Outer Wilds was such a cool and surprisingly unique game where the main concept was respawning, essentially.

Red Faction Guerilla had a pretty funny bit in its tutorial section where you could try to see what happens when you strike a human, in this case your soon-to-be-killed-in-a-cutscene brother, with the game's almost godlike hammer. Not only will your bro crumple like his bones have been atomized, but the game will bring a hilarious message that reads "WTF? You killed your brother!"

Trumpet players in the military still need to go through boot camp, by the way! I know this from personal experience 😑

[@tba113]

Really, the question is why they call that part of the game "boot camp". Barnes addresses Shephard as 'corporal', so it's clearly not Shephard's first trip to Parris Island. It's probably not even his first time through Advanced Infantry Training, though I don't remember what his MOS was before being assigned to the HECU.

[@marhawkman303]

@@tba113 If you're prior service, maybe. For example someone who enlisted in the Army/Navy/Air Force then swapped to Marine. So it could be your first trip to Paris island... just not your first boot camp.

[@tba113]

@@marhawkman303 That's possible. It's been a while since I last played it, but I vaguely remember the game listing "USMC" as his educational background, the way it had given MIT as Freeman's and "community college (undecided major)" as Barney's, so I'd figured Shephard had not transferred between branches. ...Though even if Shephard's only ever been a Marine, I suppose that still doesn't rule out the chance that he went through boot camp at MCRD San Diego, in which case he might never once have set foot in South Carolina. So yeah, I guess "not his first boot camp" is as much as we can definitively say.

[@dogishappy0]

The "shooting your friend" failure state in the tutorial is a common failure state. I remember accidentally snapping a target's neck in the tutorial mission of the first Splinter Cell game i ever played. Oops.

[@NimbleTack]

This is for a tabletop RPG rather than a computer game, but in the original Traveller RPG from 1977, it was actually possible to get your character killed during character creation! Characters were generated by training through years of service in the military and each year you had a random chance of being KIA. I never did finish designing a Scout.

[@Patrick-Phelan]

The new versions just fail you out of your career disastrously, as I'm sure you know, but... there's something so perfect about being able to die during character creation.

Reminds me of Wing Commander 2 where iirc, you can open fire on Caernarvon Station on the first mission. The station starts firing flak cannons, which can do a good job of shooting you down if you get too close, and of course you can't dock, so it makes the mission unwinnable. Unfortunately, the station was also less frustrating to shoot at than small quick enemy fighters, so...
