comment
You Are Already Dead: In some circumstances, you may end up running yourself into an insta-death situation: If you're spotted by Jack or meet up with Derek again after the first meeting, you're basically toast. Choosing to stick around at the start of Mason's route will result in him getting after you.

Bear Trap: You can end up stepping in one in Mason's route if you aren't careful. You can also turn the tables on Mason by having him step in such a trap in one ending.

Faux Affably Evil: Mason is at least polite and merciful enough to give you a backpack with necessary supplies for the wilderness—right before aiming his crossbow at you. The seller also fits this role in the DLC - he seems kind enough, up until the player realizes they're part of his next livestream.
