Re: Aggravating gaming moments

Some deaths in Dark Souls is tough to take. The most recent example of the most aggravating moment is in The Witcher 2, a side quest that starts early in the game carries on through so that you can only continue the quest if you've gotten up to a certain point in the game. At one point, in order to continue with the quest you need to collect 4 ingredients, which are obtained by monster drops. 3 of the 4 are easy enough got through common enemy types, but the last one you can get from a 'boss' encounter. So after killing the boss, a cutscene kicked in and when I went to pick up the loot, it wasn't there. Turns out it's a bug, that you have to pick up the item immediately before the cutscene begins or it's gone forever. Course I didn't realise this until way after when looking it up online, and I was too far gone in the game at that point to go back for it. Even at that, I don't think I had a savefile either. So all the time spent, thinking about the potentially cool item you can get for doing it all....came to nothing.
