History AllLovingHero / VideoGames

* Horrifically deconstructed with Sophia Lamb, the BigBad of ''VideoGame/BioShock2''; she has the attitude and the philosophy of "love everyone equally", and she sincerely does. However, due to her firm belief in TheNeedsOfMany and TheEvilsOfFreeWill, for practical purposes she loves ''no one'', being completely apathetic to the happiness of any of her followers; after all, [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans what's a few people she happens to know compared to the millions she could help with her utopia]]? She's even willing to kill her followers just to prove a point, [[spoiler:and tried to brainwash her daughter Eleanor to carry out her plans.]]

* Horrifically deconstructed with Sophia Lamb, the BigBad of ''VideoGame/BioShock2''; she has the attitude and the philosophy of "love everyone equally", and she sincerely does. But that "love" manifests as total ''apathy''; she empathizes with all equally by simply not empathizing at all with ''anyone'', regarding free will and independent thought as not only meaningless but [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill an active danger]] to her idea of the [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans "Greater Good"]].

* Papyrus of ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' is a well-meaning, heroic character, never mind that he's trying to capture you. He's friendly and compassionate to everyone (even though the Annoying Dog, well, annoys him) and he really doesn't have any inclination towards nastiness [[spoiler:even to a player in a [[KillEmAll Genocide run]]]], quite the opposite in fact: he tries to be kind to them, figuring that they must need it. Also, depending on how you play, the protagonist may be this too [[spoiler:and in their true identity of Frisk, they really are]], while showing the game's WhiteAndGreyMorality nature.

* ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'': Despite the "eating his enemies" schtick, the titular character is one of these. Especially in [[VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies Star Allies]], which runs fully on the power of friendship. Any power-giving enemy can become an ally, the majority of the Dream Friends you can recruit are previous antagonists or final bosses, and [[spoiler:the final boss is defeated through the combined power of every friend Kirby has made throughout the franchise]]. Even as early as the first game there are shades of this -- after defeating Extra Mode there is a short cutscene of Kirby checking on King Dedede after his defeat. Other examples include [[VideoGame/KirbySuperStar Super Star]] introducing the Enemy as an Ally idea, [[spoiler:caring for Dyna Blade's chicks after her defeat]] in the same game, and taking King Dedede from antagonist/rival in early games to friend/ally from [[VideoGame/Kirby64TheCrystalShards Crystal Shards]] on.

* ''VideoGame/HeroKingQuestPeacemakerPrologue'': If the religious texts about the Dark Mother are true, then she wants all the races of the Dark Realm to make peace with each other. Unfortunately, the current Dark Lord, Spidergland, is a dark elf supremacist.

* ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'': Despite the "eating his enemies" schtick, the titular character is one of these. Especially in [[VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies Star Allies]], which runs fully on the power of friendship. Any power-giving enemy can become an ally, the majority of the Dream Friends you can recruit are previous antagonists or final bosses, and [[spoiler:the final boss is defeated through the combined power of every friend Kirby has made throughout the franchise]]. Even as early as the first game there are shades of this -- after defeating Extra Mode there is a short cutscene of Kirby checking on King Dedede after his defeat. Other examples include [[VideoGame/KirbySuperStar Super Star]] introducing the Enemy as Ally idea, [[spoiler:caring for Dinablades chicks after her defeat]] in the same game, and taking King Dedede from antagonist/rival in early games to friend/ally from [[VideoGame/Kirby64TheCrystalShards Crystal Shards]] on.

** One of the [al[DarkerAndEdgier saddest]] parts of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' is that no matter how much of a hero Hawke becomes, they still [[spoiler:lose their family, tear [[CityOfAdventure Kirkwall]] apart twice, and set the stage for a war]]. And it's ''really not their fault at all,'' but they're the one that history will blame.

* Sora from ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'', has a brave and heroic personality, meaning he will willingly risk his life even for people he barely knows. He is extremely loyal to his friends, and has been shown to have a remarkable capacity to forgive, even to his sworn enemies; when Maleficent loses control of the Heartless to Organization XIII and is overwhelmed by Dusks in order to allow Sora's group to escape, Sora is clearly concerned for her and is only stopped from helping her by being restrained by Donald. Another prominent example is when he forgives Naminé for rewriting the majority of his memories, despite the severity of her doings. Sora has even been shown to try and bring others to his side if he feels he can connect with him, such was the case with Vanitas after the latter explained the connection between himself, Sora, and Ventus. Sora tried to tell Vanitas that as his and Ventus's "brother" he should stand with the two of them instead of with darkness. He even has an EmpathicWeapon that ''runs on'' ThePowerOfFriendship.

* [[TheGoodCaptain Captain Brenner/O'Brian]] from ''[[VideoGame/NintendoWars Advance Wars: Days of Ruin]]'' commands the remnants of a military unit in a [[AfterTheEnd post-apocalyptic earth]], held together by his own leadership ability and charisma, and uses it to unconditionally rescue survivors and help people. [[spoiler:After ThePlotReaper is through with him, main character Will/Ed picks up the torch as well]].

* [[BigGood Aura]] from the ''Franchise/DotHack'' conglomerate.

** Lilina from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade'' is always kind and compassionate, able to melt the hearts of everyone - even the brutally cynical Garret. She's especially sweet to Oujay and Gonzales, the second being an extreme {{Gonk}} who was hated by everyone.

** The Avatar Corrin's little sisters from both sides (Sakura and Elise) are very kind-hearted with unlimited love and compassion who wants to bring the best qualities from ''everyone'' regardless if they are Nohrian or Hoshidan. The latter is so much so that she will never fight you - ever, not even choosing the ''Birthright'' path.
* King Arthur of ''VideoGame/{{Guenevere}}'' is kind and forgiving to a fault - often pardoning his enemies [[SmallStepsHero even when it's all but certain that it will come back to haunt him.]]

* Sora from ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'', has a brave and heroic personality, meaning he will willingly risk his life even for people he barely knows. He is extremely loyal to his friends, and has been shown to have a remarkable capacity to forgive, even to his sworn enemies; when Maleficent loses control of the Heartless to Organization XIII and is overwhelmed by Dusks in order to allow Sora's group to escape, Sora is clearly concerned for her and is only stopped from helping her by being restrained by Donald.

Sora tried to tell Vanitas that as his and Ventus's "brother" he should stand with the two of them instead of with darkness. He even has an EmpathicWeapon that ''runs on'' ThePowerOfFriendship.

** A similar case is Sophitia, whose reason for fighting is she's on a mission from gods that almost no one else worships to protect the world from the evil Soul Edge. In the first Soulcalibur game, her words to Nightmare is "I would save you." - she knows that besides being possessed by the evil Soul Edge, he used to be Siegfried - who at this time was a barely sane ''Raubritter'' (robber knight) who had murdered his own father.

* ''VideoGame/GoldenTreasureTheGreatGreen'' has Allmother, one of the dragons' three story-relevant elders. [[AmbiguousGender It]] represents the path of Compassion and loves all creatures, seeking to build coexistence between them all, to the point of offering its own flesh to a fox to save a rabbit's life. Allmother believes that even the two species warring for dominion of Earth, its own Draak-Kin kind and the [[HumanityCameFromSpace No-Tails]], can one day become as one. [[spoiler: In Allmother's ending, the player character follows its path and also becomes an All-Loving Hero.]]]
* ''Videogame/{{Yakuza}}'' series protagonist Kazuma Kiryu, despite being a stone-faced thug, is also a deeply virtuous man who often tries to believe in the best of others, is quick to defend innocent bystanders and is always willing to help others. For all of his capacity for brutal violence his only desire is to ensure that the children he raises as his wards live out a peaceful life. Similarly, series successor Ichiban Kasuga is a cheerful and idealistic man who despite the hardships he's suffered refuses to let it all break him emotionally, with his personal dream being to be a hero like the [=JRPGs=] he grew up playing.

[[spoiler: In Allmother's ending, the player character follows its path and also becomes an All-Loving Hero.]]

* Oror from ''VideoGame/{{Drakengard}} 2''. So good, he might have been a MarySue-type if he hadn't been dead for three years at the beginning of the game.

** Princess Zelda frequently is this as well. In the finale of ''VideoGame/TwilightPrincess'' as [[spoiler: Ganondorf]] dies, she folds her hands and bows her head, seemingly saying a prayer for the departing soul of her enemy.

* ''VideoGame/GoldenTreasureTheGreatGreen'' has Allmother, one of the dragons' three story-relevant elders. [[AmbiguousGender It]] represents the path of Compassion and loves all creatures, seeking to build coexistence between them all, to the point of offering its own flesh to a fox to save a rabbit's life. Allmother believes that even the two species warring for dominion of Earth, its own Draak-Kin kind and the [[HumanityCameFromSpace No-Tails]], can one day become as one.

* ''VideoGame/YggdraUnion'' has ''two.'' Yggdra, the titular character, becomes a wise and loving monarch over the course of the story; the main antagonist, Gulcasa, is one to his own people [[spoiler:to the point of dying trying to save them in a really twisted and tragic way]]. It's questionable how pure they are, however, when it's stated and shown outright that both of them are willing to kill any innocent [[WhatTheHellHero standing in their ways to their "justice" or rightfulness]] just because they're on an enemy's side.

** Paragon [[VideoGame/MassEffect Commander Shepard]] becomes a legendary one in their own lifetime, and at some point in the distant future is simply known as ''The'' Shepard. During the final decision point in ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', [[spoiler: one question that can be asked of the Catalyst when it gives the three options is the reassurance that regardless of the personal cost for Shepard, the Reaper War will end and the dying will stop]].

* ''Franchise/FireEmblem:''
** Seliph is seen as both this and TheChosenOne in ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar'' and ''Videogame/FireEmblemThracia776''. Being a [[ShyBlueHairedGirl Shy Blue Haired]] HumbleHero, the prospect scares him at the beginning, but he eventually lives up to it. In the backstory, the member of the Twelve Crusaders who fits the most is Blaggi the Archbishop, who not only has a Holy Weapon able to resurrect the dead (the Valkyrie Staff) but shows kindness even to the members of [[ReligionOfEvil the Lopto Sect]].
** Lilina from ''Videogame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade'' is always kind and compassionate, able to melt the hearts of everyone - even the brutally cynical Garret. She's especially sweet to Oujay and Gonzales, the second being an extreme {{Gonk}} who was hated by everyone.

** Nino from ''Videogame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'' not only managed to defrost her best friend and prospect husband [[spoiler: Jaffar]] [[FlorenceNightingaleEffect by nursing him back to health instead of killing him]], but she's also unfailingly sweet and gentle to whoever she supports with, and cries when she has to face her adoptive family. The only person who doesn't get this privilege is Sonia, but well... [[EvilMatriarch this]] ''[[SmugSnake is]]'' [[YouKilledMyFather Sonia]] we're talking about. And Nino ''did'' seek her approval until she learnt the truth about her.

* Hijiri Byakuren, the final boss of the 12th in the ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' series, ''Unidentified Fantastic Object'', is identified as the "{{youkai}} Messiah", a living Buddha who preaches peaceful co-existence with humanity. Of course, [[LetsYouAndHimFight you end up having to fight her anyway, because that's just how they roll in Gensokyo]].

** One of the [[DarkerAndEdgier saddest]] parts of ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' is that no matter how much of a hero Hawke becomes, they still [[spoiler:lose their family, tear [[CityOfAdventure Kirkwall]] apart twice, and set the stage for a war]]. And it's ''really not their fault at all,'' but they're the one that history will blame.
