Making Alexius tranquil? What about Erimond from the "here lies the abyss" mission? He doesn't care what sentence you give him because he believes if he dies he joins corypheus, and if you imprison him he believes corypheus will save him. Being made tranquil was the only thing he feared. He actually tried to resist when you sentence him to tranquility.

[@konradpeiper]

Well, Alexius is far more likeable than Erimond, since he is working for Corypheus to save his son, and he surrenders peacefully when he iunderstands his time spell has failed. Also, he shows poise and is honorable in his surrender, and is willing to succesfully work for the Inquisitor if you allow him. Erimond, on the other hand, is a self-serving megalomaniac. So even though making either of them tranquil is a fate worse than death, doing it to Alexius makes you look more like a jerk.

[@mikoto7693]

I’m actually guilty of inflicting Tranquility on Erimond. I spared Alexius and had him doing magical research for the Inquisition.

That reminds of show called Forever. The main character (Henry) was "cursed" to immortality: his body stopped aging when he was shot and dumped in the sea in the 1800s, and when he died afterwards, he is teleported to the nearest large body of water, completely healed and naked. In the 21st century, he encounters another person with (allegedly) a similar affliction. Those suspicions turn into certainty when the "newcomer" commits several violent crimes and gets hurt. His blood is found on one of the crime scenes and analyzed. Contains trace antibodies against several historical plagues. When Henry confronts him, he successfully damages the spinal cord of the other immortal leading to the lock in syndrome. In short, he retains consciousness but loses all motricity except for the ability to breathe (even that is difficult). A real life simulacrum of Tranquility.

The Graduates Bread is more like a actual cake, with some chocolate glaze and sprinkles on top, while Rumballs are, as the name implies, rolled into relatively big balls, and also with sprinkles or coconut over them, and of course, with some rum in them (or at least originally, I don’t know how much they actually are anymore).

XCOM: Enemy Within leaves it up to the player to decide how willing your troopers are to undergo extensive cybernetic or biological enhancements.

They should have not anything to complain about. Bet it feels heavenly no longer being in a fleshsuit with constant pain.

[@AbyssalMerc]

Technically he glassed himself first, you just imprison him in an oubliette on your ship.

[@voyagerwitch]

nihil literally did this to people for a living so it's totally deserved.

[@iskawhiskers]

Nihil was already a Cephalon by the events of the game, the Operator just traps him in a bottle of Viniq for eternity.

[@finnover9781]

Shaming in Shadow of War? You basically torture your Orc/Troll until he loses his sanity, as poor Bruz can attest to... if he could say anything other than that he doesn't want the fort he took from you.

[@outsidexbox]

that was in part one! check it out if you fancy

[@finnover9781]

@@outsidexbox Thank you! I like hearing back from people

[@Sunprism]

I did not expect the strength and passion to which i automatically started singing along with the Katamari Damacy song. Gotta warn someone if you're going to do that

[@ZeroSOFInfinity]

Geras "drowning" in the Sea of Blood is bad enough..... but having your head severed as an immortal being (Shinnock), and thus become cationic for rest of eternity seems to feel much worse.

[@rochelleyoung1403]

You forgot about the Wheatley core getting stranded in space with space core for all eternity at the end of Portal 2. And to make things worse, Wheatley cannot run out of power, as well as him feeling horrible for his actions

[@mortIsHere]

I don’t know if it counts but William Afton from the fnaf games. Being springlocked, locked rotting in a wall, burned, burned, sent to purgatory, being trapped in a video game, burned, and being strangled by a mechanical tentacle while burning AGAIN. Is that enough for you?

[@nickjeffery536]

What about in Hitman, when you are a) playing in Ghost Mode, b) playing against Andy Farrant, and c) your name is Mike Channell... 100% emotionally devastating for your victim...

[@Marik745]

Is that Carl “let me borrow 5 dollars for the bus, I’ll pay you back next week” Semken? You’ve been ducking me for a week man, this is how it has to be.

[@marvelousmaker]

Due drowning in a bottomless sea of blood for an immortal is so much worse then you make it considering the deeper you go the higher the pressure. So he will be both drowned and crushed for eternity.

[@hondaaccord1399]

Holy cow bro, two of these and you never mentioned Lusamine from Pokemon being stuffed full of space jellyfish chemicals and going into a coma? Or Lysandre being trapped under his collapsed fortress with the rotting corpses of his allies and Pokemon for all eternity after being granted immortality by Xerneas in Pokemon X?

[@HOTD108_]

What makes you think that only 15 years passed between Portal 1 and Portal 2? Isn't it heavily implied that it's been hundreds, if not thousands, of years?

[@liamnehren1054]

Alive there is the slim chance that: just like the little sisters in bioshock 1 escaping in the second game, his fractured self and broken body could be restored. Dead is Dead no getting better.

[@garba1984]

The bottomless sea, I know that mortal kombat pushes our suspension of desbelief to insane heights, but a bottomless sea means infinity matter, and it shows the writters never had a physics class.

[@digishade7583]

I have another one for you being one mind of a million inside of Alex Mercer from prototype

[@Thatguyalex21]

Honestly if I got tranquilized nothing would change

[@Jonathon_Hennessey]

In Fallout New Vegas you have the option of giving Mister House a fate worse than death by releasing him from his life support unit, while exposing him to the outside world will eventually kill him his longevity treatments will keep him alive for a year.

[@sgtwhisker26]

You forgot to mention that GLaDOS Entire creation is essentially A fate worse than death, she was ones Kevin Johnson’s secretary, Who was forced to have her consciousness place into a computer after his death and the process drove her into being everybody’s favorite murderous AI.

[@SYKRAL1]

If I remember correctly, In bio shock, alex the great is all that is left. That is him after he has gone completely mad. There is no original personality filled with remorse left. Those are just recordings he made and left behind before he fully lost it. He knew he wasn’t going to be able to keep his mid and knew he was turning into a monster, so he set up the audio logs and a way for anyone who comes across them to kill him.

[@bomouth142]

Of course we have to talk about the Scourge from Warcraft. Sylvanas freeing a chunk of them to form the forsaken proves that the poor victim is still in that rotting scourge corpse, forced to mindlessly obey the will of the madman who killed them and reanimated them to wipe out all life on Azeroth (and before that, slaughtering everyone they ever loved and cared about during the sacking of Lordaeron and Quel'thalas)

[@frozenduck23]

In skyrim, soul trapping is much worse when dawnguard was released. While in a soul gem, you are in a crystalline area until you are used then your soul goes to the soul cairn. The soul cairn is a place where you are lonely for eternity and can't talk to anybody.

[@messiha666]

Being made tranquil would be an even worse fate if the game didn't explicitly state that it wasn't a one-way street as previously thought

[@mikoto7693]

I’m guilty of inflicting Tranquility but with Erimond. I have Alexius research magic for the Inquisition.

[@NeoDanomaru]

Honestly same for me! Still mad that Tranquility is not an option for ALL classes when Erimond is concerned!

[@breanabaines8697]

Here are three more... Morganthe from Wizard 101: Deified and shot into space. Infinite from Sonic Forces: Either he was crushed by the energy from the phantom ruby or returned to the lab for more experimentation. Metal Sonic in Sonic 2: You literally slammed him into an electric field.

[@tehbeegwaffle4747]

In half life there is a chance that headcrab zombies are still sentient humans, but they can’t control themselves

[@haruruben]

3:51 I’m sure he’ll wiggle his way out of those chains eventually

[@Here88hun]

A fate worse than death would be where as a dragonborn paladin, being offered a mace that has a one in six chance of turning someone into a critter. Turn on the same NPC that gave you that item, knock him out, then hit him with the mace many many MANY times until it finally turns into a seal. couldnt imagine a worse fate, even with all the scotch egg benefits

[@chadpeterson5698]

Another Mortal Kombat fate worse than Death is when Noob Saibot's babality in MK9 where he's put into a portal loop falling forever and since he's already dead he can't die.

[@nithin143ash]

So outsidexbox has officially announced that turning your enemy into an animal by whacking them with a magical blunt weapon is a fate worse than death. Egberts quest for attonement goes on.......
