Hero 7 Plot Point

Here's what I was thinking about last night:
The Hero always seems to do good. Nothing ever really goes wrong for him, everything's a minor set-back, and he always triumphs.
But what if he didn't?
I'd like to see him mess up in this one. Badly. It's not like he dies or anything, but he just...make a really big mistake. And it hurts him alot, through the rest of the game. And maybe at the end, he has a catharsis and breaks out.
It would certainly be different.

Yeah, something like that. Or he just fails miserably at something, despite all he did.

I'm trying to keep it from being physical, and to try and keep it from affecting the game after. Losing an arm would certainly be that.

Perhaps the Hero does somethings that make him as bad as the villians he is trying to stop?

"This entire village must be purged." Sort of thing? Or maybe..
"Suceeding you, Father."
Or perhaps we should just go for..
"This urn contains your father's ashes, Arthas! What, did you want to piss on them one last time before you left his kingdom?"

Hey, it's just quoting because people understand it more when they actually did it. It was degrees of evil.

Well, anything would work for this. We could have him confront the "one vs many" choice, or be used by evil forces. Heck, we can even make him BECOME evil for a time, like in my dream.

Make him get used. Have one of his "firends" mercilessly manipulate him into doing something extremely evil, but the Hero doesn't realise it. Then the Evil character does the ususal "ha ha ha ha ha ha, nyuh nyuh nyuh nyuh nyuh nyuh, I fooled you!"
That HAS to be traumatic to a good guy. Then everyone will hate him, and he has to make amends, and has to deal with his inner demons until he does that.

Yeah, that's a good one, Silverbolt.
Or maybe make him do the choice between two evils. Like if Ad Avis had, at the last moment, summoned up Tanya as a hostage in QFGIV, and you had to either kill her to get to him, or...
Yeah. Demented, I know. But it's just an example.
