No Hero Discount: Difference between revisions

** Also justified in ''[[Symphony of the Night]]''. The Librarian is actually in the employ of Dracula, and only helps Alucard at all as he's a greedy bastard. And if you use any of the extra characters, he'll refuse to deal with them at all; Alucard is permissible because he's the Master's son, estranged or not, but dealing with the Belmonts would be outright treason.

* ''[[Chrono Trigger]]'' You can rescue a falsely imprisoned shop clerk from a dungeon. When you visit the shop later, the clerk will slip you some free potions when the shopkeeper isn't looking.

* ''[[Dark Cloud]]'' Averted, where the Wise Owl will sell you a special sword for a discount. It's still pretty high but as he (along with some other merchants in the game) will tell you, they are still merchants and need to make a living.

* ''[[Deus Ex]]'' "Smuggler" won't give you explosives unless you pay an absurd amount of money for them, even if you've helped him out before, and even though he knows you need them to {{spoiler|blow up a superfreighter full of enough of an incurable virus to infect the entire North American continent!}}. The exception is the first time you're in Hell's Kitchen, where he gives you a discount if you rescue his friend from MJ12.

* ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'':

** ''[[Kingdom Hearts (video game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' and ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' Huey, Dewey and Louie don't give a damn that their [[Donald Duck|uncle]] is buying and saving the world as we know it, as long as he keeps on coughing up the munny.

* ''[[Lands of Lore]] The Throne of Chaos'' Justified, in which the player starts with a writ identifying him as on official business for the king, which can be presented for free services. However, the writ is stolen, leaving him with no proof that he works for the king and justifying why he must pay for things like everyone else.

* Averted in ''[[Lunar]] The Silver Star'' and its remakes, in which your old childhood buddy Ramus actually ''does'' recognize that you're about to go save the world and give you unlimited free items from his store just before the final battle.
