In a Bethesda game, death isn't your greatest enemy...

It's bugs that actually make you invincible.
The Fallout 4 quest "Confidence Man", has such a bug. In the course of the quest you will get into a fist fight in a bar, that should end in a non-lethal way. Problem is, if you do anything in that fight to your opponents you are fucked. All of the participants in that fight are temporarily marked "essential" (means they don't die, the just fall unconscious), including you. And if you don't let your ally in the fight knock them down but do it yourself instead, the game omits deleting that essential flag. So now you are invincible, but those other two dudes you have to kill later are too. Means you can't complete the quest.
In the end I tinkered around with the console and save game editing for about an hour before resorting to loading a 3 hour old save, because everything else didn't work 100%.
What do we learn from all of this? Make hard saves after every completed location, quest or even just shopping spree. That way you don't loose as much as I did. :/

As for the earlier games I cant say, I tried to get into them but I couldn't. Which is surprising because they are sort of similar to the old Diablo games, which I LOVE.
