And perhaps my favorite. The American people's history are lost to the annuls of time, when while searching for a homeland, they were all eaten by a rampaging pack of bears. CIV V
 
Dr Mario - Fake doctor faces charges. Victim's families demand death sentence to the Plumber of Death.
 
Knights of the Old Republic. The amnesiac dark lord Revan, who is unwittingly serving the Republic at the time, is gunned down by essentially a storm trooper literally 5 min into his first assignment as a republic soldier. The entire galaxy falls to Darth Malak as a result.

No word on if this is actually not so bad for the galaxy like when Palpatine pulled the "take over the galaxy" thing though.
 
Dark Souls 2: The Bearer of the Curse could eventually become a powerful being on par with the Chosen Undead after fighting foes like the Burnt Ivory King, the Fume Knight, and Nashandra. Before he can reach the three old fire keepers, he decided to fight the weird monsters in the grass on to get ganged. Though he could come back, the bridge is somehow destroyed, thus keeping him trapped with the small creatures and a nearby ogre.

I'm going to be Autistic and point out you can walk past the Ogre to get to the hut.

Dark Souls 3: The Ashen One reaches Firelink Shrine only to be immediately cut in half by a Katana Hobo.

Then the player destroys their console in frustration, leaving the world to be unchanged forever.

In that case: Even if the Chosen Undead makes it past the ogre, the undead lacks enough brains to go to the forest and instead heads for Heide's Tower of Flame. The knights within that area cause the undead to lose all healing items in botched attempts at conquering them.

Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

The Hero of Kvatch emerges from the sewers of the Imperial City, crosses the lake, and arrives at a strange Ayleid ruin.

Only to get shot in the shoulder by a bandit's arrow and die in the ensuing conflict, thus dooming the entire world to being subject to the will of Mehrunes Dagon and causing the downfall of civilization as we know it. The Amulet of Kings is discarded in the middle of a forest because no one could ever put it on. Martin dies in Kvatch to a Clannfear. The Mages Guild is consumed by Mannimarco. The Blackwood Company completely destroys the Fighter's Guild. The Thieves Guild is eventually disbanded as the Gray Fox is unmasked to be.. someone. The Dark Brotherhood is completely uprooted by internal destruction.

The worst thing about all this?

The Adoring Fan never went on the adventure of a lifetime.
