Anti-Villain/Video Games: Difference between revisions

* Ser Cullen and Ser Thrask of the Kirkwall Templars in ''[[Dragon Age II]]'' serve as the game's Anti-Villains, with Thrask seeking to aid mages on the run rather than executing them or seizing them and forcing them to join the Circle (he will, however, accept a peaceful surrender to prevent bloodshed), and Cullen turning against Knight-Commander Meredith once it becomes clear to him how crazy she has become after {{spoiler|Anders blows up the Chantry, and Meredith calls for the Right of Annulment on the Kirkwall Circle, and on the off-chance that Hawke supports the templars, she orders for Hawke's execution instead of arrest}}.

** On that topic, {{spoiler|Anders himself, to some.}}

* General Forsythe from ''[[Advance Wars]]: Days of Ruin'', though he declares war against the player's country in the game, barely qualifies as a villain. When [[Mad Scientist|Caulder]] offers him powerful, but horrible, weapons that could guarantee his victory in one of the early missions, he is appalled and flatly refuses. Shortly later, it is revealed that he does not kill POWs, considering it to be dishonorable. To top it all off, {{spoiler|when he loses the war, he accepts full responsibility for the war so as to spare his soldiers and lower-ranking commanders, accepting execution by the [[General Ripper|insane, power hungry Commander]] Greyfield.}}

** Even the declaration of war is ambiguous, considering that Davis is the one who says that Lazuria started it, and he probably heard this from Greyfield ([[Sarcasm Mode|paragon of honesty, that man]]). It's more likely that Greyfield started the war and told everyone that Forsythe did, while Forsythe hopes to end the war by defeating Greyfield. Forsythe is a [[Hero Antagonist]].
