Most of the staff of clouds and Judy’s friends in cyberpunk ☠️

[@leviharter1392]

Lol please remind me what happened

[@Foxxune]

V helps Judy and some of her chooms that work at the club “Clouds” take control of the establishment from the Tyger Claws gang and give it to the workers in an attempt to create a better working environment, which goes awry after killing the Claws managing the bar when other members end up hitting back later on, zeroing many of Judy’s chooms and the dolls.

[@Swift96]

The side quest called "Family Values" in Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Some kid locks himself in a cage after hearing a prophecy that his mom would die and his dad would scream in agony, with it being his fault. So after he asks you to help him prevent the prophecy from coming true, your actions instead inadvertently become part of the circumstances that makes sure it DOES happen.

[@sigma0443]

One really really bad day is a better example, u manage to mess up multiple npc s

It's weird to think that if you didn't do anything, was it still fate for it to happen? That was a cool game in my opinion.

As much as I love that "mission" I personally wouldn't count it. It's not an unforseen consequence, he legit wants it. It's not a mission where you think you're doing a good deed, only for it to all crumble after it's over.

Am I the only one who found helping the flying machine guy in RDR absolutely hilarious? I know it's not supposed to be funny, but I laughed so hard.

[@Lawrence_Talbot]

I laughed. It was so silly, and it felt like a nod to AC2 where you have the flying machine that magically works but in actuality it never could. The design he uses in RDR looks a lot like the one used in AC

[@ModestPavement]

I think it is supposed to be funny lol.

[@absolutedisgrace]

In Elden Ring, Sorceress Sellen gets turned into the ball, called a Graven Mage (also sometimes called Graven Mass) due to her study of the Primeval Current. Its suggested that she might have been the reason for the other Graven Mass/Mages you see around the place through the school of Graven Mages. Its implied this might be the reason she was kicked out of the academy to begin with. So you helping her gave her the ability to continue that study which ultimately caused her to get "exactly what she wanted". Whether she regrets it or not, maybe?

There’s a Dwarf in the first Dragon Age whose life you can totally ruin by doing any and all quests in Orzammar. His daughter can leave for the surface if you help her, you smash a whole in the wall of his smithy, the list goes on.

[@YourEraGamer]

I'm surprised Borderlands 2 didn't make the list for it's mission involving Face McShooty. You even get an achievement for "helping" him.

[@j.e.385]

I think The Last of Us can also be a contender for this list. By convincing Joel to help, Marline just unknowingly doomed the Fireflies.

[@FloridaMann123]

The poachers are actually tied to Diallos's questline, not to entering Jarburg. So it's possible to finish Alexander's and Jar Bairn's questlines without the poachers attacking and Jarburg stays peaceful the whole game.

Veronica on the other hand see her family slowly dying, everybody she cares about being dragged down by conformism, and, when she tries to leave, they murder a hole camp of innocent people, her endings are sad as fuck Edit: Shit, i forgot about Lily, she too suffers so much, and her endings are depressing as well
