Prescience Is Predictable: Difference between revisions

* Odin was cursed with this in ''[[Scion]]'': every time he uses the power of Prophecy in order to attempt to avert Ragnarok, another piece of the future leading to it will be placed in stone. The curse was designed to stop him from abusing prophecy so much; at this point, the god who put the curse on him is in a total panic, because he didn't think Odin would ''ignore'' it the way he did, and now ''he'' wants to stop Ragnarok as well...

 

* Trenia from ''[[Makai Kingdom]]'' is basically the soul of the Sacred Tome that happens to be a [[Cosmic Keystone]] that records the netherword's history... in advance. Sure you can [[Reality Warper|write a wish in the thing and alter reality]], but [[Sorry, Billy, But You Just Don't Have Legs|you've gotta have thumbs for that, y'know]]? So when Zetta takes up her position in the opening, she thoroughly enjoys direct interaction with things, even though she still knows what will happen.

* Fateweavers in ''[[Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning]]'' don't actually weave Fate as their title might suggest. They can only see a person's fate, [[You Can't Fight Fate|which cannot be changed.]] The first Fateweaver you meet, Argath, was originally a famed adventurer and hero who thought becoming a Fateweaver was an honor. Then he read his own Fate and saw his own inescapable death: as the main ingredient of an ettin's stewpot. He started drinking pretty heavily after that.
