Line 21:
* Can be played straight in ''[[Dragon Age]]'', too. At the Landsmeet, {{spoiler|upon defeating Loghain in single combat, you have the option to either kill or spare him. If you choose to kill him, you can then finish the blow yourself, or hand it off to Alistair on the grounds that, for him, [[It's Personal]]}}.
** Similarily, at the end of the Leliana's Song DLC, Leliana refrain from killing [[Complete Monster|Harwen Raleigh]], leader of the Hard Line mercenaries. Instead, she can allow her comrade Silas, who was tortured for several months in Raleigh's dungeons, to finish him off.
** And in [[Knights of the Old Republic (Videovideo Gamegame)|Knights of the Old Republic]], the protagonist leaves Admiral Karath to Karth, since [[It's Personal]], and may or may not (depending on morality) encourage Juhani to take revenge on the man who bought her as [[Sex Slave|a 'pet']].... Let's just say Bioware loves this trope.
* In ''[[Alpha Protocol]]'', Mike has the option {{spoiler|to leave Surkov to Brayko if discover Surkov betrayed you, leave Brayko alive, and then take the final mission and chase Surkov all the way to the helipad}}. In this case it's an intentional case of sadism, as his death will become infinitely much more painful than if Mike just puts a bullet through his head.

* In ''[[The Order of the Stick (Webcomic)|Order of the Stick]]'', Belkar, of all people, does this [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0612.html here] and [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0616.html here].
* In ''[[Escape From Terra (Webcomic)|Escape Fromfrom Terra]]'', a family is killed by invaders, leaving one survivor (a teenage girl), and the man who gave the order captured. When he taunts the man in charge about whether he has the balls to kill him and face the consequences from his superiors, the man explains that it's not up to him and gives his gun to the girl.
