I am playing Horizon Zero Dawn and haven’t gotten to the first main event, but it gives me this feeling like if I upgrade all my equipment now it might be for nothing. I know that is not the case, I looked it up, but what are some games that are the worst offenders? One I can think of is Aerith in the original FF7.
When playing Mount and Blade Warband with the Viking Conquest module, you start in the country of Friese. Due to things that happen during the mainquest, you pretty much get kicked out of the country and get threatened that after a ceartain amount of time passes, the lords will brand you as an enemy and turn hostile. This is exceptionally bad if you end up saving money and decide to invest in a business in the capital of the country, which can be quite a lot. Its best if you take your money when leaving and open a business somewhere else.
