Line 6:
In a world with [[Black and Gray Morality]] where the [[Light Is Not Good|"good"]] side isn't much better than the "evil" side, this may be presented as the most idealistic path.
Can also result from an "Evil Path" that involves [[I Can Rule Alone]]. The militant form of [[Stupid Neutral]]. If the whole point is to simply [[Kill
{{examples
* ''[[The Witcher]]'s'' neutral path winds up, for the most part, killing everyone.
* In ''[[The Nameless Mod]]'' Trestkon can side with the Goat cult, the Llama cult, KO/avoid all cult members he fights, or take the suggestion of Phasmatis (who considers the cult wars a hazard to civilians and compares the two to warring gangs) and just get rid of both.
Line 15:
** In ''[[Devil Survivor (Video Game)|Devil Survivor]]'' you have the option of taking a neutral option by {{spoiler|following Gin's route}}, but [[Subverted Trope|you'll have to do exactly the same things as in the other endings]]: As it turns out, {{spoiler|you have to defeat the Bels either way}}. However, the ending is different; {{spoiler|the world returns to normal and all demons and angels go away. Metatron praises you for your actions and warns you never to misuse the power you've seized for yourself.}}
** ''[[Strange Journey]]'''s Neutral path requires you to {{spoiler|kill both half-angel Zelenin and half-demon Jimenez, as well as Mem Aleph, to put an end to the Scwarzwelt.}} It's less extreme than in earlier games, however; {{spoiler|you avoid having to slaughter your fellow crew (as is the case on either of the other two routes, minus the brainwashing), and you ultimately end up saving all of humanity rather than [[Mind Rape|Mind Raping]] them into soulless worshippers or demonic savages. If anything, Neutral is the ''least'' damaging of the three endings.}}
* The "Renegade" ending of ''[[Deus Ex Invisible War (Video Game)|Deus Ex Invisible War]]'' is essentially this: Kill all three faction leaders, which frees the world from all the [[Ancient Conspiracy|Ancient Conspiracies]] that have manipulated mankind for centuries. Naturally, without the conspiracies manipulating everything from behind the scenes, [[Kill

* Similarly, in ''[[Deus Ex Human Revolution (Video Game)|Deus Ex Human Revolution]]'' the last of the four endings is a [[Well
* This tends to be Masamune's story path in the ''[[Samurai Warriors]]'' game - his modus operandi is to show up mid-battle, kick ass on both sides, and the declare himself the winner.
* Similarly Lu Bu's musou mode in [[Dynasty Warriors]] 6, which basically consists of him showing up to famous battles in Chinese history and ''killing everybody''. In the end Lu actually ends up unifying China, {{spoiler|every other leader in the game, living and dead, allies against him in a [[Forever War]]. Naturally he couldn't be more pleased}}.
