Has a game ever read your mind?

Okay, a little backstory right here. This has happened to me a couple of times now, these are the most recent ones I can remember.

A couple of years ago, I bought Dragon Age: Origins. I started playing it, and finally picked up some decent armor for the first time. The armor also included an ugly-ass helmet, but I wanted to wear it for the stats. I was thinking to myself, how cool it would be if I could have the helmet not appear at all during cutscenes.

And yeah, you can totally disable helmets in cutscenes from the options screen.

The second, more recent event took place when I purchased Infamous 2 from PSN, and I after playing for a while, I got my first upgrade power, Pincer Bolt. Note that I didn't know about the massive amount of changeable powers at this point. As soon as I had received the upgrade, I thought to myself that I would miss the old, classic bolts. As soon as I finished my thought, Zeke hits the comms and tells me I can switch back at the press of a button.

Both of these games managed to deliver on seemingly small details (well, not so small a detail in Infamous 2) and seemed to just read my mind about what I wanted. In retrospect, it's possible the developers thought that it might be a nice addition and just went ahead.

So I ask my fellow gamers, when has a game just read your mind?
