I mean, Morrowind did this to an extent. But the result is that some vital NPC would get randomly killed by a bear halfway across the map, and you’d get the dreaded “you can’t beat the game anymore lul get fucked” message. Then you’re stuck reloading your last save, desperately hoping to find whatever NPC it was.
The details escape me, but there actually was still a way to progress after getting that message. I remember it involved the dwarf with the spider centurion legs; I think he knew something about where some of the pieces were.
