They spend the entire game building up what an unbelievable badass your character is. He has superhuman senses and can literally see through walls via hearing. He constantly takes down groups of dozens of enemies that ambush him. He tanks damage that would kill a hundred elephants and just keeps on going.
Then, they have a cutscene where some random nobody enemy somehow manages to SNEAK UP ON THE GUY WHOS HEARING IS SO GOOD HE CAN SEE THROUGH WALLS AND IS SO TOUGH HE ROUTINELY TANKS SHOTS FROM FLAMING BALLISTAE, and just casually knocks him unconscious with a wee little bonk to the head. And what’s worse, then when you’re captured, they kill an NPC you’ve grown to care about (again in a cutscene where you have no control) and a ton of horrible shit happens, all because your demigod of a character somehow magically got snuck up and knocked out by some fodder enemy that in reality you would have heard coming a mile away and oneshotted without even looking at them.
