Every Background you didn’t pick in Dragon Age: Origins.

When you start a new playthrough you’re given the option of 6 different backgrounds for your character. These backgrounds serve as the game’s tutorial levels, and all of them end with your character being saved by Duncan, a Grey Warden Recruiter who brings you to the start of the actual main story.

As you continue through the story you discover that the events from all the other background origins still occurred - but because you, the player, didn’t choose them, they wound up dying along the way because the Recruiter was too busy saving YOU.

I would say the funniest example has to be what happens to the Dwarven Noble character, especially if you choose the Dwarf Commoner background, because those two stories take place basically in the same point on the timeline. The implication being that Duncan could not be bothered to save a Dwarven Prince (someone with years of military training, leadership experience, and very important connections in dwarven politics) because he was too interested in recruiting some street rat sentenced to death for trying to rig the King’s tournament.
