    "extreme cold, but not Frost cold" is probably the worst line I've ever heard someone say before a fight
  • We cannot forget the fate of those who stand in Kirby's way when he decides to save planet popstar. Not only are they eaten by the equivalent of a black hole, but he absorbs their skills to beat up their former friends and colleagues. All while wearing their clothes.
  • In my oldest Skyrim playthrough I legit had a trophy room in my house, with objects infused with the souls of characters I didn't like all down the walls. How shitty the item they were stuck in was depended on how much they annoyed me in life.
  • @freddie9705
    In fairness, Dishonored's "non-lethal" character assassinations are more poetic justice than merciful. They're all things that the targets have done to someone else.
  • @SirAsdf
    I do find using the Frost fatality on Robocop morbidly hilarious since it's technically an upgrade for him. Atleast he's not constantly moving like he's unwillingly doing the robot at all times.
  • @hafezali860
    “David Cronenberg Katamari” is really the best discerption imaginable of the Huddle! Kudos to whomever wrote that line.
  • @Action2me
    Here’s one you missed: Soma. There’s a guy’s consciousness trapped in a robot. In order to progress, you have to flip a switch that continuously electrocutes him for all eternity as he screams in agony.
  • The ending to Inside was the biggest twists I have ever experienced in gaming (at least when it pertains to the protagonist.) Becoming part of a giant ball of flesh was NOT how I envisioned that game ending.
  • @Jessie_Helms
    Can’t forget Halo and The Flood. It’s extremely painful physically, but also mentally as the flood rips out anything useful from your mind
  • My favorite thing about the Dishonored nonlethal is that you can justify it out of spite, rather than a moral code. Oh, you're going to brand Corvo as a murderer and torture him for it? Well, he's just going to tear down your entire regime without killing anyone.
  • @FlamingAtheist
    Not done to an enemy necessarily, but in "I have no mouth and i must scream" Literally everything except the most positive ending is a fate worse than death.
  • @ShockInazuma
    Apparently someone somehow shamed an orc in middle earth so hard to level 0, he appeared LEVEL 40 IN A NEW GAME. And stayed in that new game LURKING. I think he was also unkillable as well. Now THAT is true terror
  • @Allstar-yl1ek
    In "defence" of the Dishonoured non-lethal assassinations: the whole point of it was that Corvo would rather just kill these people, but if you take the non-lethal route that's supposed to represent him putting the stability of the Empire before his desire for revenge. Tl;Dr - Corvo is going out of his way to make these fates worse than death, because actually killing them would cause more problems than its worth.
  • @Woopor
    The Flood from Halo is quite a horrifying way to go. Most of the time victims die upon transformation, but sometimes they’d still be alive, watching their bones and flesh being morphed into claws and tentacles, going mad from voices and feeling your skin burn and burst with sacs of flood spores. Even if a person gets their head cut off, their body will still be crushed and turned into factories for the parasite and biomass for the hive mind.
  • @GunlessSnake
    In Dishonored's case, as a Serkonan native, Corvo Attano doesn't justify fates worse than death as better because they don't die; he justifies them as cruel and ironic justice as part of his vengeance.
  • I cant help but think that 'sadistic vault tech scientist' is something of a tautology.
  • @Eric-bq8nd
    C'mon Andy, you had "Jaxophone" sitting right there.
  • In MK11, Raiden says “There are some fates worse than death…” right before he proceeds to cut off Shinnok’s head, and since Shinnok is an elder god and he can’t die to anyone below himself, like mortals, souls, gods, and demigods, he had to sit though the agonizing pain of his neck being separated from his body without death. Raiden then decided to ship Shinnok’s still alive head to the bone temple. You can even see his head in the background of the bone temple map.
  • @Sam87hitk
    The Wabbajack is its own category and should be on this video. You can turn a person into a sweetroll and it doesn't appear any different from the other sweetrolls in the inventory.
