** The original ''Medieval: Total War'' had a somewhat less altruistic reward for not executing captured enemy soldiers, since this allowed you to ransom them back to the original owner for a fair chunk of cash. Of course, this meant that you would have to face them on the field again at some point, so it was often a good idea to [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|put a few to the sword]] during the battle... |

* In the Bakumatsu chapter of ''[[Live a Live]]'', you are given four path options - Kill as necessary, Kill Everyone (not really that extreme, but you end up leaving nothing but bloodstains in your wake), Kill Everyone (but spare the women), and Kill No One.

* ''[[Super Smash Bros.]] Melee'' had the "Merciful Master" bonus awarded if you win a match without KO'ing anyone - which usually means they managed to KO themselves. And an even bigger bonus called "Switzerland" awarded for not taking any damage and not using any attacks at all. |

* The first two games of the ''[[King's Quest]]'' series tends to give you more points for nonviolent solutions to problems. The later games, not so much. For instance, [[King's Quest IV|KQ4]], [[King's Quest V|KQ5]] and the remake of [[King's Quest II|KQ2]] all require you to deal violently with the antagonist. |
