Hidden Agenda Villain: Difference between revisions

*** As of [[Mass Effect 3]], it turns out there's even more to it than that. {{spoiler|Turning organic beings into more reapers accomplishes two things. Making more reapers, and preserving that life in some way as opposed to completely wiping it from the galaxy. The reapers' true purpose is to keep organic life from creating, and then warring with, synthetic life. Because this kind of war has happened before, and tends to wreak havoc on inhabitable planets, meaning less places to support life. The reapers have been killing spacefaring races to ''preserve life itself as a whole''}}.

** The Illusive Man is also this. In Mass Effect: Retribution, he proves himself capable of lying to [[The Don|Aria]]'s face. That is, of course, after he says this to the player:

* Flemeth saves the PC and Alistair from the bloodbath at Ostagar in the first [[Dragon Age]] and even sends her daughter with them. At first she claims that the Blight threats her too, but her real intentions aren't revealed until much later in the game, depending on what order you'll play certain regions. {{spoiler|She's hoping that Morrigan will grow her magical powers during the quest so she can posses her later in the hope continuing her centuries long lifespan.}} And going even further in the game {{spoiler|It becomes clear Flemeth set up the whole [[Take a Third Option]] setting in the hopes of getting her hands on to the demon-god-baby that the male PC, Alistair or Loghain can father.}}

* In ''[[Prince of Persia]]: The Sands of Time'', the [[Evil Chancellor|Evil Vizier]]'s plans are never revealed throughout the entire game until his last words ("I could have been... immortal."), and even then, it's not clear ''how'' he wanted to achieve that goal. Thanks to the [[Timey-Wimey Ball]] in ''Warrior Within'', he's back in ''The Two Thrones'', and achieves immortality quickly into the game.
