  In the Baldur's Gate series, it's sometimes possible to kill an npc that has something important to say to you before they say it.  If this happens, a completely different npc named Biff the Understudy appears and says the lines instead.

  6 and not 7? Are they cheating us out of an entry?

  I remember in Pokémon Sword and Shield, when battling Eternatus, you are prompted to catch it and it is your only opportunity to do so. If you didn’t have any Pokeballs, the game would give you a single Pokeball to catch it.

  Fun fact: for the Demon Door you can actually exploit this by going to the nearby Snowspire Village to the Donation Store which lets you donate anything, donate all your Silver Keys, open the Demon Door then go back and buy all your Silver Keys back. This way in can still keep all your Silver Keys in case you haven't opened all the Silver Chests yet.

  Don't forget to join the OX Supporter's Club, your donations go towards sending Andy to Games College where he can learn to play games competently, much to the relief of Leons and Ashleys everywhere.

  I'd argue that changing the boss fights in Deus Ex from the combat-only option (which they contracted out to another studio) to one which fits both playstyles was the developer fixing their own mistake.

  How about the first Portal game? In one of the first few levels it's possible to get yourself trapped by placing the companion cube you need to unlock the door on the other side of said door then locking it. GlaDos will berate you then open the door to let you through so you're not stuck.

  In the infinitely charming 'Frog Detective' you get money in the second case to pay a bribe however, if you decide to spend that cash on a framed picture, the game's creator pops up and tells you you've biffed it whilst handing you more cash for the bribe

  in the first part of borderlands 3, claptrap will continuously throw healthkits at you to keep you alive while he's suspended from the magnet. Also, if you take too long to find the chest with the shield in it, he'll point it out for you to make sure you can beat the first boss

  I remember wondering if you'd softlock yourself in Golden Sun 2 by giving Piers the Lash Pebble before he leaves the party for a while, when you need it to get up to a window.  Turns out, the devs thought of that and someone else just throws a rope down for you.

  It didn&apos;t fully <b>fix</b> your mistakes, but the adaptive difficulty in the Crash Bandicoot N-Sane trilogy giving you extra checkpoints if you died too often was an absolute godsend

  I&apos;m not sure why this is the first time I&apos;ve heard it but &quot;as useful in a fire fight as a chocolate teapot&quot; absolutely got me and I will be remembering it
