After which, you immediately fail the mission. * ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' has a mission in which after finding 50 Sunset Sasparilla Star Caps, upon telling Festus that you've won the contest, he proceeds to give you the prize: ]. Like with the Thieves' Guild example, the player could be forgiven for thinking they just made a terrible mistake. ** There's also the moment in the "Dawnguard" questline when the Dragonborn and Serana cross a bridge only to have it collapse under them, sending them plummeting to a river far below. Nothing of the sort happens, however, and the quest line proceeds one loading screen later. When the screen goes black, you could be forgiven for thinking the Dragonborn just got KilledOffForReal. You're lying on the floor, vision blurring and darkening, unable to do anything, and then ] tops it off by stabbing you - all of that from a lovely first person POV. ** Another example happens at the end of the ThievesGuild quest "Speaking with Silence," when Karliah shoots the Dragonborn in a scripted cutscene. The peace treaty negotiations then proceed from where they left off. until Esbern suddenly steps in and gives a scathing speech to both factions about the fact that ''Alduin will kill them all'' if they don't put aside their petty differences. This can make the player think they screwed up. When attempting to write a temporary peace treaty between the Stormcloaks and the Empire, no matter what actions you take there will ''always'' be a moment where one or both of the factions will call the whole debate pointless and a waste of time and then threaten to storm out. * ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'': ** There's a minor example in the "Season Unending" quest.
