False Innocence Trick: Difference between revisions

* In ''[[Mortal Kombat Mythologies Sub Zero]]'', Sub-Zero ([[Mortal Kombat (video game)|the elder]]) is imprisoned in the Netherrealm. His fellow prisoner is normally Scorpion, but if the player decided not to kill Hanzo Hasashi, then the other prisoner is {{spoiler|Shinnok, the [[Big Bad]] of this game and [[Mortal Kombat 4]]}}. He claims that he's an unjustly imprisoned soul like Sub-Zero and notes that he's playing [[Big Good|Raiden's]] "game" for the time being. His manipulation of Sub-Zero indirectly helps {{spoiler|himself escape from the Netherrealm several years down the road}}.

* In one quest in ''[[Oblivion]]'', you can buy a house, only to find that it's haunted. Investigation reveals the corpse of a lich (imprisoned for being evil) who claim's he's [[The Atoner|turned good]] after having time to reflect on his crimes. Unfortunately [[Stupidity Is the Only Option]] if you want to complete the quest.

** [[Subverted Trope|It is also implied that they themselves are being forced to curse you]], [[Loophole Abuse|yet choose to do so in a manner such that the "curse" is more of a blessing in disguise.]]

* In ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', there's a quest in the Arathi Highlands where you're contacted by an earth princess named Myzrael, who seeks your help to escape her confinement. To free her, you kill some of her guardians and release her from her crystal prison, where you find out that she's evil. Sort of subverted though, in that she was driven to madness by the Old Gods, and now resides in Deepholm, where she is once again sane and good.
