Line 187:
* Mostly averted in the very beginning of ''[[Skyrim]]''. The Imperial Legion captured the rebel leader Ulfric Stormcloak and instead of taking him back to the capital and staging an elaborate trial, they immediately take him and the other captives to the next garrison where they are led to the chopping block right after getting of the cart. But even that turned out to be too much of a delay, as a dragon attacks and the prisoners escape in the chaos after just one of them had been beheaded.
** The extent to which the Imperial Legion are villains is fairly debatable as well. A more straight example would be the various mad scientist-cum-mages who feel the need to have you fight a pet monster of theirs rather than kill you outright, or even Alduin, who, rather than kill you outright when he meets you at dragon burial mounds, resurrects a lesser dragon and lets it do the work. Predictably, it always fails.
* ''[[World of Warcraft]]''; in the ''Battle for Azeroth'' expansion, [[Big Bad| Queen Azshara]] uses her potent dark magic to drag an entire Alliance ''and'' Horde fleets into Nazjatar, an underwater domain covered by a dome of air. While she could dispel the dome and drown the survivors any time she wanted, she permits them to live so long as they "amuse" her. And given the comments she directs to the player during several World Quests, it seems that, for now, that is her motive.
