End a rescue mission at the moment too many hostages are lost to win it

Save at least three of five. The player loses the third one and plays on for ten minutes in a mission that is already lost, only to be told so at the end. Here is how to see the point of no return and end the mission when it happens, not before.

Why this works

Telling a player they have lost at the exact moment it became certain is kinder than letting them play on to no purpose. Each person has one final result, and checking after every event shows the moment of truth.

When not to use it

Do not end the mission early if the player may still gain something, such as story scenes, loot or a chance to bring the lost ones back. Then let the level finish and judge at the end.
