This ones great. Where does it come from?
Morrowind
Any time a critical character dies (usually because you're on a killing spree) it says that. But it's also become a meme when someone famous dies in real life.
I think we're about six hundred doomed worlds deep by now. Eventually we hope to cross some kind of Einsteinian barrier to get to the other side
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. It happened when important NPCs died, rendering unfinished or future quests associated with that character impossible to complete or start; iirc essential NPCs didn't have immunity to damage and death in Morrowind like in later Bethesda titles, so these NPCs were protected only by the player reloading their save after getting this message upon the essential NPCs' death.
