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.

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.
