Standard Hero Reward: Difference between revisions

 

== Literature ==

** He does however have an aunt and a dog. At least one person considers it for the dog...

** Later Vimes does get a variation of this, albeit in a nontraditional way. He rescues a virgin aristocrat (old maid Sybil Ramkin) from the Dragon attacking the city and ends up marrying her. She is one of the wealthiest people in the entire city, and with their marriage, Vimes is elevated to the aristocracy. Especially amusing because Vimes doesn't want ''any'' of it, with the sole exception of Sybil herself.

** Princess Maker 3 plays it a bit more straight by having her be the daughter of the fairy queen.

* In ''[[Lufia]] 2'', Maxim can ask for the princess's hand in marriage after completing a task for a king, in what is ''meant'' to be a [[Keep the Reward]] scenario. The king will refuse, claiming that he's refusing due to the scowl on [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]] Tia's face.

* It is possible to subvert this in the first ''[[Uncharted Waters]]'' game by refusing to settle down after saving the princess and instead return to the rough seas. It doesn't allow you to actually play afterwards, however. Also, you can subvert the kingdom-to-reign part and go for the marry-the-princess only, which is [[Cutting Off the Branches|apparently canon in the sequel]].

* In ''[[Prince of Persia]]: The Sands of Time'', the Prince and Farah fall in love without any outside intervention over their quest. {{spoiler|Then Farah dies. Then the [[Reset Button]] gets pressed, and Farah's alive again but no longer has any memories of the Prince. After the Prince defeats the [[Final Boss]], Farah says she owes him thanks, and the Prince grabs her and kisses her. When Farah objects, the Prince uses the [[Mental Time Travel|Dagger of Time]] to [[Mundane Utility|rewind time so that Farah doesn't know she's been kissed]].}} They finally get together at the end of ''The Two Thrones''.
