* ''[[Dragon Age]]'' has the Grey Wardens, who are very paladin-like in flavor, but aren't locked into any given mechanical build. Also of note are the Templars, who have a bit of paladin feel (hunting down demons and errant, usually evil mages) but who invoke [[Good Is Not Nice]] due to the game's [[Crapsack World]]. However, Templars are rather un-paladin-y in that they're sadly prone to becoming [[Knight Templar|Knight Templars]] and running into [[Light Is Not Good]]. Alistair, being both a Grey Warden and an ex-Templar with tank combat abilities, anti-magic, and (eventually) [[Smite Evil]], is the game's best example of the trope; he manages to combine Light, Good, and (mostly) Nice, though he's certainly willing to [[Shoot the Dog]]. |

* In ''[[Ground Control]]'', Paladin is a title given to any Order of the New Dawn general who is permitted to act with autonomy. The Paladin Magnus is one, and despite not having any divine personal powers, he does have an arsenal of Order troops, aerodynes and [[Hover Tank|hoverdynes]] at his disposal, and has the personality of a paladin, always choosing the 'good' option over the lawful. |
