Until recently, the only "game over" screens I've seen in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 were due to my own shoddy swordsmanship. It's rarely anything exciting – maybe I tried to pull off a flashy Master Strike and instead got a mace to the face, or picked a fight with bandits who in hindsight looked like two-legged tanks.
That changed during For Whom The Bell Tolls, a fairly early quest in the main story with ludicrously high stakes. The resulting stress – and a grand total of three game overs – has taken years off my life, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
