The worst was King's Quest V, which you could play for 3-4 hours and soft lock yourself by deciding to go east into the mountains before you had done _everything_ possible in town and west in the desert. It didn't warn you you couldn't return, and if you didn't have an extra save it was back to the beginning.
- Ekaros 2y agoSoft lock failure states are incredibly bad design... Instant deaths well, those can be acceptable with decent save system. But even Sierra in some cases managed to nearly entirely avoid soft lock failures... So leaving them in is well only bad work.
