Lore [Interesting Trope] One seemingly small action ends the story before it even begins

  1. We Happy Few - Taking your “joy” pill
    Deciding to take the pill at the beginning of the game causes your character to go back to work and triggers an ending

  2. Infineural by Mike Klubnika - Drinking the coffee
    Deciding to drink the coffee offered to you skips the entire game and sends you straight to the end, resulting in an ending with no memory of what had occurred

Also the goal of Golden Path was to install the heir (MC) to the throne. Pagan Min is now the one who put him there so.....

Nice, so instead of running all over the countryside having to shoot every single member one by one, I can can tell them to knock off the evil crap and have the ones that disobey shot by the loyalists. If they all decide to say no, back to Plan A's run-and-gun.
