Technically speaking this just means the devs included a fake failure state... still I think the most well known case of this is the alternate start of A51 in Perfect Dark, where you can use an alternate explosive to turn the failure state back into an 'incomplete' Technically the game didn't have to say anything... which is why I consider this an example of 'un-failing' a mission. Games like Skyrim and Witcher 3 sometimes have alternate threads to conclude a quest... but (so far) neither will take a quest that is registered as 'failed' and give you a chance to un-fail it. --- "Salt cures Everything!"

When I read the topic title, the first thing I thought of was less a specific mission unfailing, as much as a mission chain. Some of the Wing Commander games had a few points where if you failed a mission, you'd be shunted into a "failure" track, where you'd keep getting missions, but they'd lead to a bad ending. Kind of giving you the illusion that you were doing well, when you'd already locked yourself into the bad ending by screwing up at the wrong time. Fortunately, there was usually at least one or two opportunities to do well in specific missions in the failure track that would allow you to slip back into the main mission track. Kind of representing the idea that you'd lost a battle and were forced into a retreat and you were losing ground in the war, but then you fought well enough to recover and regain the advantage.

Games like Skyrim and Witcher 3 sometimes ave alternate threads to conclude a quest... but (so far) neither will take a quest that is registered as 'failed' and give you a chance to un-fail it. Witcher 3 does have a weird situation where you basically "glitch" the ending of a major quest, though. I forget exactly how, but there's a way to complete the Bloody Baron questline in a way that it technically fails and succeeds simultaneously. Or more specifically, Fallout 4 has something similar - in the normal course of events, whatever faction you side with will generally wipe out the others (or, at least, the other factions will automatically go hostile once you permanently choose a side). The Institute will force you to destroy the Brotherhood of Steel and the Railroad, the Railroad will have you destroy the Institute and the Brotherhood, and the Brotherhood will attack the Railroad and the Institute (The Minutemen are the only faction that gets along with everyone, and won't go hostile unless you play the Nuka-Cola DLC and become a raider). But if you Neither of those are exactly failed missions that you can turn into successes, but they do sort of straddle the grey area between success and failure. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...

SomeUsername529 posted... I mean, Fission Mailed is a classic meme for a reason. I don't wanna say all of yous are wrong... cuz you're not, you are all right It's just that I was looking for something specifically related to questlogs and I don't think I expressed that well enough. --- "Salt cures Everything!"

In Metal Gear Solid 3 you have to let yourself die to defeat a boss minor SPOILERS for MGS3 If you die during the fight(the fight is just you walking down a river after a ghost, while the ghosts of every enemy youve killed in the game tries to attack you) its game over, but if you reach a certain point in the fight youre supposed to just lie down in the water and let yourself drown. You get your typical game over screen but theres a new option to revive yourself using a capsule or something that you get at the beginning of the game. --- She/her ... Copied to Clipboard!

The levequests in FFXIV. Sure, there are the duties too that you can fail and try again, but that is different as the game treats it like "It didn't really happen. Try again." The levequests, however, take up allowances with every attempt, allowances you earn every twelve hours of real time, and it appears in your questlog. You can fail those leves in a number of ways, but, as long as you don't drop the leves, you can pour more allowances into them to try again. This is actually how people used to farm an item--one that came from coffers--during Heavensward when it came time to do the Anima relic grind. Start leve, seek chest, grab item if available, abandon without dropping so you don't have to go back to town, and try again until you're either bored or out of allowances. --- http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb179/EntityXIII/entityfn7.jpg ...
