Line 224:
* In ''[[Bioshock]] 2'', if Delta continually demonstrates mercy to others, {{spoiler|when Sofia Lamb is drowning in the end, Eleanor states that while her mother believes that people are beyond redemption, Eleanor has decided from the player's actions that ''anyone'' can be redeemed if given a chance, and saves Sofia's life.}}
* ''[[Batman: Arkham City]]'' ends with [[The Joker]] invoking this trope and demanding {{spoiler|[[Batman]] give him the cure needed to save him from TITAN poisoning.}} This is after {{spoiler|he's poisoned 2000 people and killed Talia Al-Ghul}}, ''on top'' of his comic-book [[Complete Monster|track-record]], and yet he points out Batman'll follow the trope and [[Joker Immunity|save him anyway.]] {{spoiler|Batman hesitates, so Joker stabs him in the arm, [[Pyrrhic Villainy|causing him to drop and smash the cure.]]}} Turns out {{spoiler|Batman ''[[The Fettered|would]]'' [[The Fettered|have saved]] [[Thou Shalt Not Kill|him anyway.]]}}
* Justified in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep]]'': {{spoiler|Aqua saves the life of Master Xehanort. The thing is, Xehanort was [[Grand Theft Me|possessing]] the body of her friend Terra, and letting Xehanort die would kill Terra as well. Aqua was out to save Terra from the beginning, so this (combined with the fact that Terra is [[Fighting From the Inside]]) was the logical choice. Unfortunately, this turns into a [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]], as Terra can't break free, Xehanort's backup plan is in effect, and Aqua can't do anything to stop it.}}
** In ''coded'', {{spoiler|Data-Riku}} saves {{spoiler|Maleficent and Pete.}}
* In one of ''[[Heavy Rain]]'''s possible finales, Jayden gets the opportunity to do this for {{spoiler|Shelby}}, right down to the villain hanging off the edge of a tall building by his fingertips and {{spoiler|continuing to attack the hero if he decides to save him.}}
