Line 123:
* Grunt in ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' is simply trying to figure out what he wants out of his own life, since he is supposed to be a strong Krogan but feels nothing for the information imprinted in him by [[Mad Scientist|Okeer]]. Shepard helps Grunt find a purpose by {{spoiler|helping him get accepted into clan Urdnot}}.
* Carver in ''[[Dragon Age II]]'', who feels [[Overshadowed by Awesome|inferior]] to his Mage sister Bethany and more capable older sibling [[Player Character|Hawke]], and [[I Just Want to Be Badass|desperately wants to prove himself to be a skilled fighter]]. Assuming he survives Act I, this can lead to one of two things happening: Either he contracts the Darkspawn taint and is forced to become a Gray Warden to survive, or he chooses to join the Mage-hunting Templars. Ironically, despite having it forced upon him, he finds work as a Gray Warden fulfilling. Templar, on the other hand, he turns out to not quite have the stomach for...
* Canderous Ordo of ''[[Knights of the Old Republic]]'' was once a respected Mandalorian soldier. His people's defeat led to him being desperate enough to take a job cracking heads for a petty crime boss. When he finds the [[Player Character]], he teams up with them to find better prospects. At the end of the game, he admits that he needs more in his life than fighting for fighting's sake. And he ''certainly'' finds it by the second game {{spoiler|by becoming Mandalore the Preserver, and rebuilding his people}}.
* In ''[[Xolga and Mr. Toko]]'', part of Xolga's backstory is that his father abandoned his alcoholic wife and his son in order to "pursue [his] dreams", essentially leaving the child to the mercy of an alternatively [[Abusive Parents|abusive and neglectful]] mother. Needless to say, Xolga has issues with both his [[Parental Abandonment]] and people who takes this trope attitude in life. {{spoiler|At the end of the first series, the man returns with his wife after she [[Driven to Suicide|attempted suicide]] due to grief over their son disappearance. Talking with a plushified Xolga, the man confess that he ''still'' hasn't reached his dream, but hopes that rebuilding his marriage will give him some purpose at last.}}
