'''Riddler''': Easily, Doctor. [[Dead Baby Comedy|It’s not my baby]].}}<!--https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps3/952338-batman-arkham-asylum/faqs/57651-->
:* Also particularly evident in ''[[Batman: Arkham City]]'' when Batman rescues one of his hostages: {{spoiler|using Detective Vision on the [[Shell Game]]-style trap they're contained in reveals a mechanism designed to swap their position without its viewer noticing}}.
* In ''[[Planescape: Torment]]'', RavelRaviel Puzzlewell's riddle was "What can change the nature of a man?" Most who tried to answer failed and became her slaves forever, but the answer the Nameless One gave {{spoiler|("regret")}} seemed to be a correct answer, resulting in her granting his wish to be immortal, - [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|which he now views as a curse]]. When encountered in the present day, Raviel admits this riddle has no true definite answer, but the Nameless One passed her test because the answer he gave was the answer he sincerely believed was true, rather than the most "right". ManyReflecting this, many fans of the game have debated what a "true" answer might be ("time", "love",with andeven "nothing" arethe common answers), butbeing theyas tendvarious toas vary greatly"time", pretty"love" muchand confirming Raviel's statement"nothing".
** Interestingly,Further itemphasizing seemsRaviel's that afterwardspoint, the Nameless One himselfcame doubtedto doubt his answer, and in turn posed itthe question to several people he met in his numerous lives. His final interpretation is:
{{quote|'''Nameless One:''' If there is anything I have learned in my travels across the Planes, it is that ''many'' things may change the nature of a man. Whether regret, or love, or revenge or fear - whatever you believe can change the nature of a man, can. I’ve seen belief move cities, make men stave off death, and turn an evil hag's heart half-circle. This entire Fortress has been constructed from belief. Belief damned a woman, whose heart clung to the hope that another loved her when he did not. Once, it made a man seek immortality and achieve it. And it has made a posturing spirit think it is something more than a part of me.}}
:* Again, this only confirms Raviel's point.
