Heterosexual Life Partners/Video Games: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

* ''[[Sam and Max Freelance Police|Sam & Max: Freelance Police]]'' - actually [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in the adventure game ''Abe Lincoln Must Die!'', where according to Sybil's "compatibility test", their soul mates are each other. In another game, ''Chariots of the Dogs'', a woman develops a crush on Max, and when Sam objects (because the woman in question is Bosco's mother, and that would cause a [[Time Paradox]]), she seems to assume he's gay, and "wants to keep [Max] all for himself".

** When Sam and Max were separated in ''Culture Shock,'' Sam actually started to hallucinate from withdrawal.

* In the origin stories in ''[[Dragon Age]]'', the Mage, Dwarven Commoner, and Dalish Elf each have [[Heterosexual Life Partners]] (well...however you take it, depending on the [[PC]]'s gender) who also serve as their partners during the beginning of the game. However, they're pretty quickly forced to leave them behind when they're the only one recruited into the Grey Wardens. Depending on how the player plays their cards, they can always find another one later on in a party member, especially noticeable with a male Warden and Alistair or a female Warden and [[Gay Option|platonic!]]Leliana.

** A female warden can also form this kind of bond with Morrigan (she at one point refers to you as not just a friend, but a sister), but it comes with a large side of [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]. This is especially obvious if you tend to be more good-aligned or are romancing Alistair.

** ... did I just get [[Rickroll|rick rolled]] by a treaty?

* Ralf and Clark in ''[[The King of Fighters]]'' (and their series of origin, ''[[Ikari Warriors]]'').

** And from the same universe yet different game series, [[Donkey Kong|Donkey and Diddy Kong]]. When Donkey's banana horde is stolen, Diddy jumps at the call to help him. When K.Rool captured Donkey, Diddy got his own entire game just to help Donkey (granted, he had help from his girlfriend.) It got so bad that K. Rool had to capture them BOTH by the 3rd game.

* In "The Legend of Dragoon" Dart and Lavitz. While the amount of time they know each other is limited {{spoiler|due to Lavitz being killed by Lloyd with a Dragon Buster Sword}}, the level of their friendship is obvious. There are several scenes throughout the game, including the closing scene, that highlights this.
