* [[Warhammer 4000040,000]] was originally a conflict between the [[Church Militant|Imperium]], the [[Legions of Hell|Forces of Chaos]], [[Our Orcs Are Different|Orks]], [[Our Elves Are Different|Eldar]] and [[Horde of Alien Locusts|Tyranids]]. Then in the 3rd edition they added two armies, the [[For the Evulz|Dark Eldar]] and the [[Robot War|Necron]] and attempted to cram the Necrons in as the new [[Big Bad]]. Games Workshop also attempted to add the Necrons in as a mysterious, subtle horror, which doesn't always work in a universe about as subtle as being bludgeoned with a [[GWAR]] concert.
** This said, it has to be taken as a growth from being Warhammer INSPACE! to being it's own work. The game is a far cry from being [[Rogue Trader]]. (The original game, not the RPG)

** All three ''[[Mario & Luigi]]'' games begin with Mario battling Bowser in Peach's Castle to stop him from kidnapping her, just before they find out about the true villains.
* Early in ''[[Clash at Demonhead]]'', you have an [[Final Boss Preview|inconclusive fight]] with Tom Guycot, the [[Big Bad|apparent boss of the terrorist organization you're trying to defeat]]. About halfway through the game during a seemingly-unimportant sidequest, the player character is [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|tricked into releasing a demon]]. Said demon promptly [[Hopeless Boss Fight|clobbers him]] and kills Guycot, forcing the player to go on a quest for a [[Sword of Plot Advancement|magic sword]] to kill the demon. You'd think the demon would then take over the plot, but in a weird subversion, you just kill it with the sword, {{spoiler|destroy it's eggs,}} then go right back to fighting terrorists. The [[Final Boss]] is [[The Man Behind the Man|the guy who was giving Guycot orders]].
* The first [[StarcraftStarCraft]] campaign concerns the conflict between [[La Résistance]] and [[The Empire]]. Then the [[Horde of Alien Locusts|Zerg]] show up.
* A common phenomenon in many strategy games (particularly of the Four X type) which involve multiple competing sides and a Tech Tree. What happens is that while the more active players expand and compete with each other militarily, a less aggressive faction is able to sit back in their corner of the map and climb the Tech Tree undisturbed. This eventually gives them an unstoppable advantage over the apparently superior competitors when they do join in the fray. Occurs less often in multiplayer games, as humans know to team up and gank the techer early on.
