What games had easy soft locks that prevented you from either progressing or getting a true ending? (leminal.space)

The thought came to mind after reading a recent post about Baldurs Gate 3 here but it reminded me of the Japense only PSX game Mizzurna Falls where if you don't perform a certain action early in the game you are prevented from getting a true ending. While this might not be a traditional soft lock because you can still progress to a point it made me wonder none the less.

I understand BG3 might be a hard lock because the game abruptly comes to a close I am not going to get into the semantics. The only other soft locks I can think of are with Pokemon.

Shout out to the fan translation of Mizzurna Falls. An article on the ROMHacking.net website can be found here.

Duly noted, I'll check that out the next time I get the itch to play. I disliked that about the game. It's actually my main gripe. I didn't like being careful of not blowing up too much stuff so that I didn't hit the "main quest threshold" or whatever.

I just want to enjoy the outdoors and kill peggies.

Are there any weapon mods? I found the variety lacking, beyond the broken dlc guns.

Tons. I think some are included in Resistance, or at least you can tweak certain things to be less airsoft-y. Haven't played in a while. Nexus has a bunch of stuff anyway.

I kinda liked the airsoft feel, though. Makes me feel like Rambo. I guess I know what I'm doing once I'm done with starfield.

Assuming hades 2 doesn't come out before then lol
