Line 571:
** {{spoiler|The protagonist and/or Alistair}}'s deal with Morrigan to {{spoiler|not die killing the Archdemon}} has the distinct scent of this trope about it. Its all about the way she presents it, combined with ominous camera angles and backgrond music.
** ''[[Dragon Age 2]]'' has [[Player Character|Hawke]] being forced to make one of these with Flemeth: help with Flemeth's [[Thanatos Gambit]] in exchange for getting Hawke's family and Aveline to safety. [[Subverted Trope|By the end of the game, there appear to be no negative consequences for this deal, at least for Hawke.]]
*** ''[[Dragon Age 2]]'' also has two party members who have made such deals with all the best intentions.
* Saren in ''[[Mass Effect]]'' attempts to make a deal with [[Eldritch Abomination|the Reapers]], assisting them in their return in the hope of securing a better fate for him and those who will follow him in submiting to them [[Cosmic Horror Story|when they will arrive]]. It is made quite clear that the Reapers have [[I Lied|no intention in letting anyone surive]].
** In ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'', [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|the Illusive Man]] does not fall for this trick and instead becomes convinced that he can enslave them and [[A God Am I|become the ruler of the Galaxy]]. Like Saren, who became packed with implants by his Reaper master, the Illusive Man "chose" to gain the implants as a means to gain access to the Reaper [[Hive Mind]]. [[Mass Effect 3]] reveals that every time the Reapers return someone like him appears, but only manages to sabotage any actual attempts of a defense against them.
