Line 79:
* [[World of Warcraft]] gives you the events of the Wrathgate. {{spoiler|The Forsaken unleash the New Plague}}. You now see it cause the senseless and meaningless deaths of some of the Horde's and Alliance's greatest heroes and shatter any chance of peace between the two factions. Oh, and if you're playing as Horde, you ''helped create'' {{spoiler|the New Plague}}, in one of the more light-hearted questlines that go all the way back to the first levels.
* In ''[[Mass Effect 1]],'' you have a few missions trying to find out what Saren is up to, and a ton of sidequests mowing down violent criminals and terrorist cells with impunity. Then you have Virmire. {{spoiler|No matter what you do, no matter how well you play, either Ashley or Kaidan will die. It's up to you to decide who performs the [[Heroic Sacrifice]]. You may have to put down Wrex as well, depending on your influence with him.}}
* ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'':
** In the first game, the remarkably easy-to-do and remarkably gory-for-the-time Pit Stage Fatality; at the time, it let Fighting Game fans know this was ''not'' going to be some clone of ''[[Street Fighter II]]''.
** Scorpion's original Fatality, where he reveals there's nothing but a bare skull under his mask, served as a Gut Punch for this strange ninja's story.
** Much like Scorpion, figuring out how to do Mileena's Man-Eater Fatality in the second game was a shock that told fans this lady was much more than the typical ''femme fatale'' fighter.
* ''[[Bayonetta|Bayonetta 2]]'' starts off with the same type of campy fight scene that the first one was famous for... then Gomorrah turns on Bayonetta, Jeanne saves her at the cost of her life and is [[Dragged Off to Hell]], and with Bayonetta's reaction, you know this is going to be ''very'' different this time around.
