    And then there are games like… Oh, you sold that quest item? Tough luck, restart the whole game and make better decisions lol

      Yeah that’s definitely no good. Thankfully zorking yourself is basically unheard of in modern game design.

        Yeah but achievements exist.

        Maybe I did need to carry that garden gnome throughout the entire game and send it into space.

          I hadn’t really thought of them that way before but you’re right. That is often where the missable stuff is now.

          Then you could get some replay value out of the game. Sometimes I find having goals in the game can help motivate the desire to play, even if I don’t end up going for them.

      I miss the old games that didn’t make winning inevitable.
