This statement reminds me awfully of the Living World Season 4 Story in Guild Wars 2.

And yes, before people become angry about this comparison: I said "reminds me", not "the same as" or anything else.

Explanation (hard spoiler!):

spoilerIn essence, you do everything you can, unite different people for the fight that determines the fate of the world. But... you lose and that was the only chance. You barely survive with your friends; but not all.

The Commander (you) are asked what to do (because you always had some kind of answers; a plan; every time). But since this was the only hope, you say "I don't know."

That line hit hard when I played it. It's rare to see protagonists acknowledge being at the end of their wits and have no clue what to do in face of impending doom.

It really did hit hard.

At least for me I could get into the next story part after I was like "wtf just happened" but for players at the time of release this was the latest part of the story and they were stuck with this awful last line for week(s).
