Line 176:
* A heartbreaking example in ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]: Chains of Olympus''. After [[Big Bad|Persephone]] reveals her [[Evil Plan|scheme to undo reality]], Kratos ends up slaughtering the pure souls of Elysuim in order to gain his powers back that he can stop both her and [[The Dragon|Atlas]]. The price he ends up paying is '''very''' high; in order to save the world and the underworld, he would never see Calliope again.
** The quicktime event where Kratos must push away his daughter and embrace his monstrous self again is possibly the most [[Tear Jerker|heartbreaking]] use of this type of gameplay ever created.
* In the ''[[Castlevania]]'' franchise, the initial reason Mathias Cronqvist became the diabolic vampire Dracula was [[Rage Against the Heavens]]. Blaming God for taking his beloved wife from him after showing unshakable faith his entire life, he felt that defying the laws of God by becoming a vampire would be fitting revenge. But after roughly three centuries as one, he fell in love again. While details are sketchy, he and Lisa fell in love, married, and even had a son (Alucard, who would eventually become his enemy) and for a while, it seemed Dracula was truly happy and would put his evil ways behind… Until Lisa, after using alchemy to cure those who fell ill from an epidemic, fell victim to an angry mob who believed she was practicing witchcraft. All hope for Dracula's redemption was lost that day, and his rage shifted from God to humanity in general.
* Zigzagged with Charlie from ''[[Don't Starve]]''. As seen in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAjbOJBfk5U&t=1s the trailer for the sequel], she tries to redeem herself by rescuing Wilson from the Nightmare Throne, only to be corrupted by it herself. Although, it seems very likely her darker personality was influencing her with the ''intent'' to claim the Throne's power.
