In Blood Omen 2 just now, I'm supposed to infiltrate a factory in the industrial district to find the Maguffin that will help Kain Win The Game. At this point in the game I have a bunch of vampiric abilities, like turning into mist, targeted long jumps, and even controlling minds. I find the factory and as I start to walk towards it to scope out avenues of entry, control is suddenly taken away from me and a cutscene plays.
Two guards are patrolling the inside of the factory and they stumble upon a cluster of five or six wrecking-ball-sized spheres with glowing red cracks and enormous, conspicuous levers. Guard A reaches out to pull the lever, Guard B stops him and warns him, "don't touch that, it's magic, it's dangerous." Guard A replies, "D'aww come on, they say that about everything these days. What could it hurt?" Guard A pulls the lever, triggering a gigantic explosion that blasts the entire front wall off of the factory.
I guess that's my way in. Thanks to Victorian Beavis and Butthead doing the "what does this button do" routine.
