Line 203:
* Inverted in ''[[Brutal Legend]]'', where - as you are a ''roadie'' - you're ''supposed'' to stay the hell out of the spotlight. Not that it stops your buddies from appreciating what you do.
* Lampshaded in ''[[Jak and Daxter|Jak II]]'' when Daxter asks Torn why they get all the crummy missions:
{{quote|'''Torn''': Because '''[[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|I. Don't. Like. You!]]'''}}
* In the ''[[Overlord]]'' games, especially the 2nd one, most people don't show you the respect an [[Evil Overlord]] deserves. In the first game you can try to earn their respect or slaughter them. In the second game you don't even pretend to be nice; you can either brainwash them or again slaughter them.
* In the Eye of the North expansion to ''[[Guild Wars]]'', 'faction' mechanics toyed with in previous installments reach the point where some items are only possible to acquire through earning a reputation-based title with that faction, with characters lacking that title being rudely informed that the items in question aren't available to just anyone. Nevermind that for three of these factions, it is perfectly possible to have single-handedly rescued the organisation from their greatest enemies or to have destroyed the entity that serves as their greatest nemesis without having achieved sufficient reputation to "earn" these services.
