*** Also, there's Hector's brother, Uther, with a scar across his forehead and another one across his nose. Black Fang's Legault has a double scar across his left eye, and Brendan Reed has dozens of them on his face alone. In contrast, the BigBad, Nergal, has [[spoiler:a bunch of really nasty burns all around his eye, which he hides with a turban]].

* ''VideoGame/AgeOfConan'' allowed some scars, ranging from discrete cheek scarring to "a bear took a hunk out of my chest". Mostly good alignment in that game, relatively speaking.
* In ''Videogame/AloneInTheDark2008'', Edward Carnby has a rather large, puckered scar over his left eye. It's more prominent than most "good guy" scars, but still reasonable enough to fall into the category. [[spoiler:At the end of the game, when he becomes Lucifer, his scar turns into a super-evil all-out rake-burn on the left side of his face.]] Significant, evil, "I cut my face with glass" scars are also a sign that someone has been possessed by Lucifer in the game.
* Most main characters from the ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'' series have managed to get at least one scar on their faces, either over the right side of their mouth (Altaïr, Ezio, Bayek, and Desmond), beneath their eye (Connor and Arno), or through one of their eyebrows (Edward, Shay, and Jacob). Some characters, such as Bayek and Edward, have multiple scars.
* Taskmaster in ''VideoGame/AvengersAcademy'' has a straight scar going down the right side of his face, over his eye and eyebrow.
* While the original game's portraits were pretty smooth-skinned, many of the [=NPCs=] in ''VideoGame/BaldursGateII'' sport scars, including returning ones. In particular, Keldorn and Imoen sport the "over the eye" scar that should be all but impossible without putting the eye out. These can be said to be symbolic -- Keldorn, the grizzled veteran; and Imoen, [[ThePollyanna innocent youth]] having learned the world isn't as nice as she'd like.
* Inverted in ''VideoGame/{{Battlefield 3}}''. Vladimir has a hideous scar across the left side of his face and a blind eye. He is the good guy however.
* ''VideoGame/BeyondGoodAndEvil's'' Pey'j has a noticeable scar going over his left eye. Although its origins are never fully explained, he's implied to be a RetiredBadass who used to get into numerous scrapes with the authorities, so we can make some assumptions.
* ''VideoGame/{{Boktai}}'''s [[TheRival Sabata]] sports what appears to be a scar across his left cheek, starting at the jaw and ending just below the eye -- a classic Evil Scar. [[spoiler:Subverted in that he pulls a HeelFaceTurn toward the end of the first game; double-subverted in that he winds up [[BrainwashedAndCrazy villainous]] again in the third.]]
** That's not a scar. It's not really made clear what it is, but from the characters you see in the games, it's easy to infer that anyone with [[spoiler:Solar Child blood]] probably has marks on his or her cheeks: Django has a rectangular one in the same place as Sabata's sharp one, Aaron/Django from Lunar Knights has one on each side of his face, and [[spoiler:Vampire Ringo]] had similar marks as well. [[http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Nightvol/Boktai/BoktaiDSConceptArt/sabataconceptart.jpg Concept art from Lunar Knights]] that is believed to be [[spoiler:Sartana prior to his death]] also shows such marks. Sabata DOES, however, have a [[spoiler:real scar above his left eye]], revealed in both Shinbok and [[http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee94/BoktaiGallery/5th%20Anniversary%20Book/actionconcept1.jpg early concept art]] of the first game.
* In the ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' series, [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Helena Pierce]], [[ThePollyanna T.K. Baha]], and [[GentlemanAdventurer Sir Hammerlock]] all have ArtificialLimbs (well, in the second case, a peg leg) that speak less against their moral character and more of the DeathWorld nature of Pandora. Helena Pierce also has scarring over [[TwoFaced the entire left half of her face]], something mercilessly mocked by [[BigBad Handsome Jack]] and notably no one else.

** On the Player Character side, Axton has two nicks across his chin and eyebrow that go right in hand with his "grizzled soldier" look while contrasting his [[GloryHound actual personality]], Salvador has a distinct gash on the side of his forehead, and [[MadScientist Gaige]] has has a homemade robot arm after she cut off her original arm ForScience. Finally, [[spoiler:Handsome Jack is disfigured with a massive Vault symbol that was ''branded'' onto his face by Lilith in ''VideoGame/BorderlandsThePreSequel'']].
* Gary, the main antagonist from ''VideoGame/{{Bully}}'', had a scar extending up from his eye and through his eyebrow. Strangely enough, the reason for having the scar is never explained.
* Sue from ''VideoGame/CaveStory'' sports a scar across her nose of the 'cute and warlike at the same time' variety.
* ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes/Villains'' has a few different scarred faces for males and females, and of course it's your choice as to good or evil or in-between. All of these scars either suggest or outright display eye damage, patch optional. Creative players use some of the various markings for face and chest as scars too, or add metal plates, and many are the player-written character bios that mention scarring hidden by clothing.
* Played with in ''VideoGame/DeadInVinland.'' Many of the enemies, from Shieldmaiden {{Mooks}} to the BigBad, have various scars, but nothing especially disfiguring or strange; the Shieldmaiden's scar looks like the XMarksTheHero type. Several members of the PlayerParty are similarly scarred; TheHero Eirik has a thin red scar across the same forearm where he has a sleeve tattoo, [[LadyOfWar Lady]] [[{{Ronin}} Tomoe]] has deep gnarly scars on her upper chest just above the neckline of her outfit (a case of PhysicalScarsPsychologicalScars), and [[WhiteMagicianGirl Brother Angelico]] has several small scars just above his neckline as well. [[spoiler: Brother Angelico turns out to be the one place where this trope is played straight; it's later revealed he's AxCrazy and that his back is CoveredInScars from scourging himself with a whip after stabbing people to death and dismembering the bodies. Since he commits both the murders and the self-mutilation during a dissociative state or possibly demonic possession, he doesn't even remember why he has these scars.]]
* ''VideoGame/DeadlyPremonition'':
** The protagonist, Agent York, has a small scar on his cheek that he got when (in his own words) he "arrested a Characters/{{Catwoman}} wannabe." It's the talk of the small town he's investigating, and some people are even taking bets on where he got it. [[spoiler: He actually has an extremely prominent heroic scar that covers most of his face, but due to his status as an UnreliableNarrator, it only appears to the player as a notch in his hairline for most of the game.]]
** Sheriff George also has a small, horizontal scar on his left cheek. [[spoiler: It grows bigger every time a murder occurs.]]
* Argilla in ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga'' has a small scar across one eye, probably to offset the cuteness of her pink hair.
* Adell from ''VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories'' has a pair of straight lines, one on each cheek, in a textbook example of good scars. They're also the reason why he [[HeManWomanHater does not like girls]].
* In ''VideoGame/DragonFable'', [[spoiler: Konnan]] has burn scars that nearly cover his face in Chapter 2. However, he's mostly on the here's side during that chapter, whereas he was evil previously, so they could fall in the "mark of shame" category for what he'd done.
* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls''
** To a degree in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'' and more so in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'', facial scars are an option for your PlayerCharacter during creation. These range from small, somewhat clean blade cuts to borderline ''mutilations''. Whether these are good or evil is up to how you play.
** Series' recurring character Jiub has a gruesome scar over his eye that looks very much like an "evil" scar. Played straight initially, as he was a [[FantasticDrug skooma addict]] and freelance assassin before ending up in prison. After his release, he sought to [[TheAtoner atone for his "sordid" life]], and became a [[LegendaryInTheSequel legendary hero]] by eradicating the [[TakeThatScrappy much reviled]] [[GoddamnBats Cliff Racers]] from Vvardenfell, subverting it.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Evolve}}'', several of the Assault hunters have scars. Hyde, the HeroicComedicSociopath, has a large burn scar on his face and is missing an eye. Markov, the amiable DeathSeeker, has a large cybernetic covering the that was lost during the attack on his colony. Torvald has heavy scarring across his torso from when he was torn apart. On the monster side, the Goliath has several scars across its chest and abdomen, befitting its nature as the most primal of the monsters.
* Quite a number of the characters in ''VideoGame/FarCryPrimal'' have scars of some type. Jayma the [[NeverMessWithGranny elderly huntress]] has scars on her cheek from wolf bites and scratches on her arm from bear attacks, and actually chides [[TheBeastmaster Takkar]] for not having any scars himself. Tensay the [[WitchDoctor shaman]] has burn marks on his left arm from when he was a slave of the {{Pyromaniac}} Izila tribe, but due to the fact that he wears white paint on his body, you can't tell until he shows you. Karoosh the [[BoisterousBruiser warrior]] has one eye [[EyeScream scratched out]] by Mog, the [[AllCavemenWereNeanderthals Udam]] who [[OutlivingOnesOffspring killed his son]]. And Wogah the [[TheBlacksmith craftsman]] has a scar over his belly, though the fact that he's also [[AnArmAndALeg missing a lower arm]] overshadows this. On the evil side, [[BadassInCharge Warchief Ull]] of the Udam has a [[FacialHorror partially-melted face]], due to being attacked with Izila fire arrows, which makes him look inhuman and disturbing. Batari, the [[HighPriest Sun Daughter]] of the Izila, has a small line of ritual scarification crossing the bridge of her nose, appropriately for someone with a vaguely Afrocentric appearance.
* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', Setzer has ''many'' scars, but since he's a good guy, they're all clean, non-disfiguring hero scars.
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' Zack Fair has a small, clean [[XMarksTheHero x-shape scar]] on his jaw. From the same game, Red XIII / [[AccidentalMisnaming Nanaki]] mentions his many battle scars at one point when Cloud and company are discussing the mysterious men in the Black Cloaks and what [[MadScientist Professor Hojo]] might have done to them.
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' plays the trope a little more subtly: Squall has a standard hero scar running diagonally across his forehead and between his eyes. His [[TheRival rival]] Seifer has an identical scar, which would also be a hero scar... if it weren't a mirror image inverse of Squall's, the two of them having mutually scarred one another in the opening FMV.
** Auron, a major good guy from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', has a vertical scar running down one side of his face over his eye. It's a bit more disfiguring than the other Franchise/FinalFantasy examples listed, and includes some damage to the eye itself (mostly hidden behind dark glasses), but is still recognizably a hero scar.
** Basch, a good guy from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'', has a non-disfiguring scar on his forehead which he received during his wrongful imprisonment. His back and shoulders are a bit of a mess, however, as seen during the [[ShirtlessScene Barheim Passage segment]] -- still hero scars, though.
** Gladiolus from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'' has a clean hero scar vertically across one eye, [[spoiler:and winds up with another across his chest and forehead respectively, leaving him with [[XMarksTheHero a classic hero scar]]]]. [[spoiler: Ignis is not so lucky: after [[EyeScream being blinded]], he winds up with a large, raised patch of scarring over his left eye, along with a few assorted nicks here and there.]]
* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'':
** Saix, TheDragon in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'' has a similar X scar. Xigbar also has a heavily scarred face as well as an EyepatchOfPower.
** In the prequel, ''Birth by Sleep'', Eraqus, the heroes' mentor, has scars on his eyebrow and cheek. He's about as scarred as Xigbar, but, being a hero, his scars are light. And speaking of Xigbar, we see how he got his scars in the game.
** Squall and Seifer also show up, and their scars still match despite the fact that they have no connection in this universe.
* Vaida, the BrokenBird from ''Franchise/FireEmblem'', has a huge scar over the left side of her face. She starts out as a villain, but your Lord can [[HeelFaceTurn make her join their side]], and her supports reveal that she's no softie but ''does'' have feelings, as well as a fierce loyalty to those she cares for.
** Also, there's Hector's brother, Uther, with a scar across his forehead and another one across his nose. Black Fang's Legault has a double scar across his left eye, and Brendan Reed has dozens of them on his face alone. In contrast, the BigBad, Nergal, has [[spoiler:a bunch of really nasty burns all around his eye, which he hides with a turban]].
*** Let's not even get started on Oguma's X-shaped scar on his cheek...
** Interestingly, Zihark from Path of Radiance has one on his right cheek; literally the only good guy that has one (even though they all fight every other day!).
* ''Website/GaiaOnline'' has at least three examples, two straight, one subverted (maybe).
** Edmund shows the classic Good Scar: an X on his forehead.
** Zhivago the PsychoForHire vampire assassin has an obvious Evil Scar on the left side of his face.
** Marie Von Helson returned after a [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat skyscraper fell on her face]] with an Evil Scar over one eye. Possibly subverted, as she hasn't been particularly evil since then.
** A minor example of Good Scar is Sam, from the Body & Parts shop. While she still doesn't hold a great importance to the plot, she is seemingly good.
* Marcus in ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'' has a number of scars but his most notable one would be a strong line running down his cheek which a number of vertical lines running down it, possible due to poorly done stitches or they're just deep wrinkles.
* In ''VideoGame/GodOfWarI'', [[VillainProtagonist Kratos]] sports a crudely stitched up scar over his right eye. When he gets stabbed through the stomach in [[VideoGame/GodOfWarII the sequel]], he gets another on his torso.
* Baiken, of the ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' series, lost her right arm and an eye when she was a little girl, leaving her a good character with Evil Scars.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Gungrave}}'' the somewhat titular protagonist lost his left eye when he was brutally murdered in the backstory. In place of his eye, he now has a really large, patchy scar, which is partially covered by the blacked out lens of his glasses.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Halo 3}}'', on the final level, a close-up of Sgt. Major Avery J. Johnson is shown. His face appears to be somewhat scarred. However, it is possible that this was not scarring, but [[spoiler: him being distraught about the death of Miranda Keyes]].
* Norman Jayden from ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'' has a clean scar across his cheek. Its origin was going to be explained in DLC content that was indefinitely postponed.
* ''VideoGame/InFAMOUS2'': Cole [=McGrath=] is sporting a somewhat noticeable scar.
* Gato, a morally conflicted but typically antagonistic character of ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' series, has three large, parallel scars on his back, apparently the result of a bear attack. The scars are typically covered up by his shirt.
** Geese Howard, following the events of the original ''VideoGame/FatalFury'', has a nasty scar on his back, received when he was thrown off the top of Geese Tower. He shows it off in his intro pose.
* ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic''.
** Ont of the most over-the-top examples is Darth Sion (appropriately called the Lord of Pain). Early in the game, a medical officer reports several THOUSAND fractures in his skeleton. Combined with that creepy music and the general dark nature of the game, it'll send chills down your spine. Doubly creepy later on when it becomes obvious that these injuries and scars are all self-inflicted; it's implied that Sion has mastered using pain as a source of power the way most Sith Lords use anger and passion; it would seem to work, he's effectively immortal unless [[spoiler:someone convinces him that letting go and allowing his body to die is preferable to his existence]].
** Darth Malak wears a metal mask for most of the game, concealing the lower half of his face. When he's finally shown without it, it's more horrifying than any simple scar could be. It's not that he hides something underneath it, it's what ''isn't'' there -- he's [[BodyHorror missing the entire jaw]]...
* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'', [[BigBad Ganondorf]] has a large, glowing scar on his chest. A flashback reveals that he got it by surviving an execution attempt from a sage wielding a sword made out of HardLight. The scar is also Ganondorf's [[AttackItsWeakPoint weak point]], and must be struck several times in order to kill him.
* Averted in ''Franchise/MassEffect'': the player can create a character with scars that range anywhere from tiny and stylish to monstrous gashes, and their character's alignment is up to the player.
** Interestingly, no matter what background you select for Shepard, the manner in which you got that scar is never addressed.
** The sequel has a great deal of fun with this. First Mordin has a classic [[XMarksTheHero X-shaped]] scar and is missing the tip of one of his cranial horns, then Garrus gets some facial injuries that become evil-looking scars during your initial encounter with him, although he's a good guy. Even Commander Shepard him/herself falls to this: you get small facial scars at the start of the game, and you actions determine what happens. Doing [[NeutralGood Para]][[MessianicArchetype gon]] actions will make the scars look a lot softer to the point where they'll [[BeautyEqualsGoodness disappear completely]]. Doing [[ChaoticNeutral Rene]][[AntiHero gade]] actions will cause some [[RedRightHand gnarly looking evil scars, eventually becoming massive burns]] and your [[RedEyesTakeWarning eyes will turn red]]!
** Jack also has some scars mixed in along with the {{tattoo|edCrook}}s. From the [[http://i46.tinypic.com/2q3usqr.jpg precision and locations]], they appear to be surgical scars from her time at the Teltin facility.
** [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Wrex]] has a series of scars on the right side of his face that make him look evil, fitting his TokenEvilTeammate status of the first game as a bloodthirsty mercenary. If he survives the first game, he becomes a full on good guy leading his race to a brighter future.
** Mostly averted by Kaidan. Despite having undergone a series of painful and slightly traumatic operations in order to receive his (dangerously outdated) L2 implants, and being an active long-term member of the Alliance military, he of all people would be expected to sport numerous scars of various types, but [[http://www.flickr.com/photos/annakie/4396434255/sizes/l/ the few he has]] are only noticeable under certain lighting conditions if your graphics are set to maximum. Though Thane claims that he was able to recognize Kaidan as a biotic immediately due to his implant scars, so they seem to be [[InformedDeformity invisible only to the player]]. [[FridgeBrilliance The lack of combat scars makes sense]] considering he's both a biotic and a [[CombatMedic field medic]]. In the rare case when something did get through his barriers, he'd know how to treat his injuries to keep scarring from becoming an issue.
** ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' DownloadableContent character Zaeed Messani is scarred on the entire right side of his face, with a deep evil scar gouge crossing his whitened eye as a souvenir from [[spoiler:being ''[[TisOnlyABulletInTheBrain shot in the head at point blank range]]'']]. He's definitely [[VillainProtagonist not what you'd]] [[SociopathicHero call heroic]].
** This is a bit of a weird example because they're not an organic being, but your geth teammate [[MindHive Legion]] was left with a large chunk of their chest missing after being shot by a panicky human who assumed he was one of the "heretic" geth. They patched it up (slightly) with a piece of Shepard's old armor. The large chunk of black armour with the N7 markings also serve to distinguish them from other Geth platforms.
** BigGood candidate Admiral Hacket has a collection of facial scars that hint at his service record.
** From ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda'', teammate Jaal Amal Darav comes with a visible gash on the left side of his face (the reason for which is never given). Depending on the player's choices, he may well end up with a small scar on his right cheek at the end of his loyalty mission.
* Sigma from the ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' games has purple facial scars despite being a robot (and having more than one body throughout the course of the series). Originally he got them when a crazed Zero tore up his face in a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown (more severely than what one would conclude from the scars), but this was retconned so that they were from X clawing at his eyes with a white-hot hand. In the manga, they're self-inflicted using the heat from his FingerFirearms.
** In ''Mega Man X7'' Red (bad guy) has a lightning bolt-shaped gash starting from his forehead and ending below his missing right eye, while Axl (good guy) has two clean, straight scars forming an X across the bridge of his nose. Both are robots.
* Colonel Volgin from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'' has deep scars all over his face (and presumably his entire body), and The Pain's face is one big bee sting.
** [[spoiler:{{Fallen Hero}}es]] Major Zero and Big Boss both have scars across the eyes, with Big Boss ''lacking'' his eye. As of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'', Big Boss,[[spoiler: or rather his body double Venom Snake,]] now firmly established as an AntiVillain [[VillainProtagonist Protagonist]], sports more than a few thin scars across his face, as well as a [[ArtificialLimbs prosthetic left hand]] and a piece of shrapnel embedded in his forehead [[HornedHumanoid in the shape of a horn]].
** The Boss also has an impressive scar on her abdomen [[spoiler:from a C-section]].
** It's said that [[AxCrazy The]] [[SociopathicHero Fury]] has burn scars on over 90% of his body, but not his face.
** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'': Skull Face, the villain who blew up Snake's Mother Base and put him in a coma, truly lives up to his name; his face is pretty much nothing ''but'' burn scars, in addition to a GlasgowGrin, and he overall looks as if he's ''rotting.''
* The younger Sub-Zero from ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' got a scar running from above his eye downwards between ''VideoGame/MortalKombat2'' and ''VideoGame/MortalKombat3''. As the series progressed, he became [[LegacyCharacter a substitute for his older brother]] and became much more heroic.
* During the interim of ''{{VideoGame/Persona 3}}'' and ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena'', the result of Akihiko Sanada's global journey has left him with several sets of jagged but otherwise neat scars all over his arms and his torso.
** The sequel, ''Ultimax'', introduces Sho Minazuki, who has an X-shaped scar on his face. It's actually smaller and neater than many of Akihiko's scars, but he's the BigBad.
* Soldier:76, aka Jack Morrison, has some facial scaring from the explosion that destroyed [[VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} Overwatch's]] former headquarters; one across the bridge of his nose, one over his mouth, both of them neatly healed cuts. In his default skin, these are hidden behind his mask and visor. Before his face was revealed in the origins trailer, some [[NothingIsScarier fans speculated the scarring from the explosion might be ''much'' worse]] [including but not limited to second degree burns, skin grafts, scar tissue, blindness, etc...].
* Averted in ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'', in which the protagonist, known only as The Nameless One, is scarred horribly all over his body -- his skin is almost literally ''made'' of scar tissue from all the wounds he's taken over his millennia-long existence. You can play him as a villainous monster, but the possibility exists for him to be the [[TheCape capiest cape that ever put on a (metaphorical) cape]].
** However, conversation options reveal that [[ICallHimMisterHappy at least one part of him]] is (against all odds) completely intact.
* During the course of events in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'', Leon gets a small cut across his otherwise perfect face during a knife fight. Contrast his [[TheRival rival]] antagonist Krauser, who already has several scars along his face and lips.
** And then Krauser gets another one straight across his chest after a lengthy knife fight with Leon.
** Jake Muller of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6'' has a long, but otherwise clean scar going down his left cheek towards his neck.
** In her epilogue in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis'', Ada Wong, the series' resident [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor morally ambiguous]] FemmeFatale, is shown to have a long, straight, and apparently deep scar stretching along the right side of her ribcage. However, no mention of the scar has been made since.
** Due to a device being forcibly ripped off of her, [[spoiler:Jill Valentine]] gets an unusual burn-like scar with pin pricks on her chest, courtesy of a boss fight in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5''. It presumably remains there. In this case, she was BrainwashedAndCrazy.
* [[SkyPirate Vyse]], the main character of ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'' has a neat little scar under his left eye. In [[UpdatedRerelease Legends]], it is explained he received it via a knife thrown by [[spoiler:Piastol, AKA the Angel of Death, when they were younger.]]
* In ''[[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soul Calibur V]]'', the [[CharacterCustomization character editor]] allows you to place facial scars on your character, with most of them heroic-looking, like a neat scar across the cheek or a vertical cut through the eye. The closest thing to evil-looking you can get is a nasty scar with stitches running horizontally across the face, across the nose.
** From the series, WarriorMonk Kilik has a neat checkmark scar below his left eye, and Mitsurugi has a bullet wound scar on his left shoulder. The latter's scar is a ContinuityNod to his ending in the first game ''Soul Edge,'' where he challenges a gunman to a duel; you can fail or succeed against him in the game, but the fact that the scar exists later on notes that he canonically got shot during the duel. Siegfried starts the series with a pretty boy's face but come his return in the original ''Calibur'', he sports a long vertical scar over his left eye, speculated to have been gained during his battle with Souledge/Inferno at the end of ''Soul Blade''.
* In ''VideoGame/Splatoon'', the main villain Octavio has an x shaped scar on his left tentacle-arm. This scar is also present on the tentacles that serve as weak points on bosses.
* ''VideoGame/StarFox2'' was the first game to feature Wolf O'Donnell, Fox's EvilCounterpart. However, thanks to [[TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment how long Nintendo kept it on the shelf]], it wasn't the game that introduced the character to fans. Originally, Wolf had a very large, vertical scar over his right eye. All of his later incarnations instead have some kind of [[EyepatchOfPower eyepatch]] over his ''[[{{Retcon}} left]]'' eye instead.
** ''VideoGame/StarFoxAssault'' brought us Panther Caroso, a suave ladies' man, who has a large white cheek scar on the right side of his face. It greatly resembles a DuelingScar, but there has so far been no indication how he got it. However, the worst that could be said of him is that he is mercenary in his pursuits and not above being a [[TheCasanova shameless]] yet [[ChivalrousPervert noble]] flirt besides.
* ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'', from what we've seen so far, tends to use massive scarring to indicate a badass. Both [[{{Determinator}} Jace Malcolm]], the Republic trooper who founded [[TheSquad Havoc Squad]], and [[NobleDemon Darth Malgus]] have major facial scarring... mostly from the times they've encountered each other. ''Especially'' the time Malcolm detonated a grenade in ''melee combat''.
** During character creation, all manners of scars are available, from simple, stylish cuts to burn-victim scars an ones that channel [[Franchise/{{Hellraiser}} Pinhead]]. What manner you play your character is still up to you. At the same time, there is a huge discrepancy in the amount of {{N|onPlayerCharacter}}PCs you encounter with Bad Scars on the [[TheEmpire Sith Empire's side]] and [[TheFederation the Republic's]].
* In the ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' universe, Sagat (a morally ambiguous fighter, but usually either the final or penultimate fight) has both a missing eye and a giant scar on his chest, the latter of which Ryu, his rival, gave him with his signature Shoryuken. Although he's presented as a ProudWarriorRace guy (and ArrogantKungFuGuy, oddly enough), his boss status means that he's a DesignatedVillain.
** He ''did'', however, kill Dan's father. And he works for Bison...
*** Note that in the case of Dan's dad... [[spoiler:according to a {{Retcon}}, Sagat killed Go Hibiki because he ripped his eye off during a fight, which sent Sagat into an UnstoppableRage. Sagat was ''not'' happy when he calmed down and found out]]. And about Bison, it's also retconned into him being more confused, misguided, and ''extremely'' pissed off, rather than evil and fully converted to Bison's cause.
*** In addition, he made a HeelFaceTurn, choosing to be a WorthyOpponent rather than a RivalTurnedEvil, way back in ''VideoGame/{{Street Fighter|Alpha}} [[{{Prequel}} Alpha]]'', which retconned his appearance in SFII as not actually working for Bison after all. Going back to Dan's dad, Dan coming after Sagat for revenge was what caused him to realize his hatred was destroying him and led him to his HeelFaceTurn in the first place.
** On the good scar side, Cammy's manages to make an overly muscular woman downright ''adorable''.
** [[HuskyRusskie Ah, comrade!!]] [[BoisterousBruiser Zangief]] will be the first to tell you that no scars are as good as those earned when wrestling bears for Mother Russia! Hahaha!
* ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars64'': Brad Skywind has a cross shaped scar on his forehead, and though people label him a "bad boy", he's a good one.
* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' has the Sniper, who was previously unscarred but received a cut on his nose and cheek after being slashed in the face by [[KnifeNut The Spy]] in the course of "Meet The Spy." Whether this is a heroic or villainous scar depends on one's personal opinion of Snipers in the game; in-universe he can be either a ColdSniper or a FriendlySniper depending on circumstances.
* ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}''
** Sergei Dragunov has several scars, his most notable being the one that runs through his lips and down his chin. He also sports one across his nose, and, if one opts to make him shirtless via customization in ''Tekken 6'', it can be seen that he sports numerous ones over his torso and arms, including a bullet wound on his left shoulder. He isn't exactly a bad guy, but he is at least morally ambiguous.
** Kazuya Mishima, occasional BigBad of the series, sports a large diagonal scar running across his chest in the first two games. However, upon being thrown into a volcano and subsequently coming BackFromTheDead, he now has additional (and numerous) scars all over his body. His father, Heihachi, also sports a large cross-shaped scar on his chest.
** Also, Raven has a large X-shaped scar across the middle of his face.
** Steve Fox has a very large, raised scar that runs pretty much the entire length of his arm.
** Marshall Law, in the later games, has three claw-marks that run across his chest, although this is clearly a nod to [[BruceLeeClone Bruce Lee's famous scars]] in ''Film/EnterTheDragon''.
** Lars Alexandersson has two facial scars: one through his left eyebrow, and one on his cheek.
* Rikimaru, playing character from ''VideoGame/{{Tenchu}}'', sports a scar over the right eye.
* ''VideoGame/UruAgesBeyondMyst'' features Nekisahloth, leader of the HeWhoFightsMonsters Bahro, who's got this big scar where [[spoiler:[[EvilutionaryBiologist Esher]]]] removed a patch of his skin.
* ''VideoGame/TheWitcher'':
** The first game both plays this straight and subverts it. On the one hand, the hero Geralt has the stylish rugged variety of scars on his face, notably a large scar which crosses over (but does not damage) his left eye. His body, however, is covered with a horrific collection of claw-marks, stab wound scars and what looks like what's left of a torn off nipple. Fellow Witchers also have scars, and while most are also of the rugged variety, [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080923012432/witcher/images/8/86/People_Eskel_full.png Eskel]] has a truly horrific scar completely covering half of his face, though he is as [[GreyAndGrayMorality close to good as it gets]] in this world as well as a pretty [[NiceGuy decent bloke]].
** In [[VideoGame/TheWitcher2AssassinsOfKings the sequel]], Letho and Iorveth have extensive scars. Letho has scars crisscrossing his whole head, it almost looks as though someone tried to scalp him but didn't get the job done. Iorveth, has a very large scar covering half of his face, which apparently destroyed one eye. He covers the scar with a [[NiceHat special hat]] that covers part of his face.
* Osamu Kashiwagi from ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}'' has a deep evil-looking scar running across his face under his eyes. Subverted because he's one of the more calm and respectable members of the clan and was Kiryu's senior back when he was starting out in the yakuza.
----
* In ''Videogame/AloneInTheDark2008'', Edward Carnby has a rather large, puckered scar over his left eye. It's more prominent than most "good guy" scars, but still reasonable enough to fall into the category. [[spoiler:At the end of the game, when he becomes Lucifer, his scar turns into a super-evil all-out rake-burn on the left side of his face.]] Significant, evil, "I cut my face with glass" scars are also a sign that someone has been possessed by Lucifer in the game.
* Most main characters from the ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'' series have managed to get at least one scar on their faces, either over the right side of their mouth (Altaïr, Ezio, Bayek, and Desmond), beneath their eye (Connor and Arno), or through one of their eyebrows (Edward, Shay, and Jacob). Some characters, such as Bayek and Edward, have multiple scars.
* Taskmaster in ''VideoGame/AvengersAcademy'' has a straight scar going down the right side of his face, over his eye and eyebrow.
* While the original game's portraits were pretty smooth-skinned, many of the [=NPCs=] in ''VideoGame/BaldursGateII'' sport scars, including returning ones. In particular, Keldorn and Imoen sport the "over the eye" scar that should be all but impossible without putting the eye out. These can be said to be symbolic -- Keldorn, the grizzled veteran; and Imoen, [[ThePollyanna innocent youth]] having learned the world isn't as nice as she'd like.
* Inverted in ''VideoGame/{{Battlefield 3}}''. Vladimir has a hideous scar across the left side of his face and a blind eye. He is the good guy however.
* ''VideoGame/BeyondGoodAndEvil's'' Pey'j has a noticeable scar going over his left eye. Although its origins are never fully explained, he's implied to be a RetiredBadass who used to get into numerous scrapes with the authorities, so we can make some assumptions.
* ''VideoGame/{{Boktai}}'''s [[TheRival Sabata]] sports what appears to be a scar across his left cheek, starting at the jaw and ending just below the eye -- a classic Evil Scar. [[spoiler:Subverted in that he pulls a HeelFaceTurn toward the end of the first game; double-subverted in that he winds up [[BrainwashedAndCrazy villainous]] again in the third.]]
** That's not a scar. It's not really made clear what it is, but from the characters you see in the games, it's easy to infer that anyone with [[spoiler:Solar Child blood]] probably has marks on his or her cheeks: Django has a rectangular one in the same place as Sabata's sharp one, Aaron/Django from Lunar Knights has one on each side of his face, and [[spoiler:Vampire Ringo]] had similar marks as well. [[http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Nightvol/Boktai/BoktaiDSConceptArt/sabataconceptart.jpg Concept art from Lunar Knights]] that is believed to be [[spoiler:Sartana prior to his death]] also shows such marks. Sabata DOES, however, have a [[spoiler:real scar above his left eye]], revealed in both Shinbok and [[http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee94/BoktaiGallery/5th%20Anniversary%20Book/actionconcept1.jpg early concept art]] of the first game.
* In the ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands}}'' series, [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure Helena Pierce]], [[ThePollyanna T.K. Baha]], and [[GentlemanAdventurer Sir Hammerlock]] all have ArtificialLimbs (well, in the second case, a peg leg) that speak less against their moral character and more of the DeathWorld nature of Pandora. Helena Pierce also has scarring over [[TwoFaced the entire left half of her face]], something mercilessly mocked by [[BigBad Handsome Jack]] and notably no one else.
-->''[[KickTheDog Holy nutballs! What happened to your frickin' face?]]''
** On the Player Character side, Axton has two nicks across his chin and eyebrow that go right in hand with his "grizzled soldier" look while contrasting his [[GloryHound actual personality]], Salvador has a distinct gash on the side of his forehead, and [[MadScientist Gaige]] has has a homemade robot arm after she cut off her original arm ForScience. Finally, [[spoiler:Handsome Jack is disfigured with a massive Vault symbol that was ''branded'' onto his face by Lilith in ''VideoGame/BorderlandsThePreSequel'']].
* Gary, the main antagonist from ''VideoGame/{{Bully}}'', had a scar extending up from his eye and through his eyebrow. Strangely enough, the reason for having the scar is never explained.
* Sue from ''VideoGame/CaveStory'' sports a scar across her nose of the 'cute and warlike at the same time' variety.
* ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes/Villains'' has a few different scarred faces for males and females, and of course it's your choice as to good or evil or in-between. All of these scars either suggest or outright display eye damage, patch optional. Creative players use some of the various markings for face and chest as scars too, or add metal plates, and many are the player-written character bios that mention scarring hidden by clothing.
* Played with in ''VideoGame/DeadInVinland.'' Many of the enemies, from Shieldmaiden {{Mooks}} to the BigBad, have various scars, but nothing especially disfiguring or strange; the Shieldmaiden's scar looks like the XMarksTheHero type. Several members of the PlayerParty are similarly scarred; TheHero Eirik has a thin red scar across the same forearm where he has a sleeve tattoo, [[LadyOfWar Lady]] [[{{Ronin}} Tomoe]] has deep gnarly scars on her upper chest just above the neckline of her outfit (a case of PhysicalScarsPsychologicalScars), and [[WhiteMagicianGirl Brother Angelico]] has several small scars just above his neckline as well. [[spoiler: Brother Angelico turns out to be the one place where this trope is played straight; it's later revealed he's AxCrazy and that his back is CoveredInScars from scourging himself with a whip after stabbing people to death and dismembering the bodies. Since he commits both the murders and the self-mutilation during a dissociative state or possibly demonic possession, he doesn't even remember why he has these scars.]]
* ''VideoGame/DeadlyPremonition'':
** The protagonist, Agent York, has a small scar on his cheek that he got when (in his own words) he "arrested a Characters/{{Catwoman}} wannabe." It's the talk of the small town he's investigating, and some people are even taking bets on where he got it. [[spoiler: He actually has an extremely prominent heroic scar that covers most of his face, but due to his status as an UnreliableNarrator, it only appears to the player as a notch in his hairline for most of the game.]]
** Sheriff George also has a small, horizontal scar on his left cheek. [[spoiler: It grows bigger every time a murder occurs.]]
* Argilla in ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga'' has a small scar across one eye, probably to offset the cuteness of her pink hair.
* Adell from ''VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories'' has a pair of straight lines, one on each cheek, in a textbook example of good scars. They're also the reason why he [[HeManWomanHater does not like girls]].
* In ''VideoGame/DragonFable'', [[spoiler: Konnan]] has burn scars that nearly cover his face in Chapter 2. However, he's mostly on the here's side during that chapter, whereas he was evil previously, so they could fall in the "mark of shame" category for what he'd done.
* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls''
** To a degree in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'' and more so in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'', facial scars are an option for your PlayerCharacter during creation. These range from small, somewhat clean blade cuts to borderline ''mutilations''. Whether these are good or evil is up to how you play.
** Series' recurring character Jiub has a gruesome scar over his eye that looks very much like an "evil" scar. Played straight initially, as he was a [[FantasticDrug skooma addict]] and freelance assassin before ending up in prison. After his release, he sought to [[TheAtoner atone for his "sordid" life]], and became a [[LegendaryInTheSequel legendary hero]] by eradicating the [[TakeThatScrappy much reviled]] [[GoddamnBats Cliff Racers]] from Vvardenfell, subverting it.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Evolve}}'', several of the Assault hunters have scars. Hyde, the HeroicComedicSociopath, has a large burn scar on his face and is missing an eye. Markov, the amiable DeathSeeker, has a large cybernetic covering the that was lost during the attack on his colony. Torvald has heavy scarring across his torso from when he was torn apart. On the monster side, the Goliath has several scars across its chest and abdomen, befitting its nature as the most primal of the monsters.
* Quite a number of the characters in ''VideoGame/FarCryPrimal'' have scars of some type. Jayma the [[NeverMessWithGranny elderly huntress]] has scars on her cheek from wolf bites and scratches on her arm from bear attacks, and actually chides [[TheBeastmaster Takkar]] for not having any scars himself. Tensay the [[WitchDoctor shaman]] has burn marks on his left arm from when he was a slave of the {{Pyromaniac}} Izila tribe, but due to the fact that he wears white paint on his body, you can't tell until he shows you. Karoosh the [[BoisterousBruiser warrior]] has one eye [[EyeScream scratched out]] by Mog, the [[AllCavemenWereNeanderthals Udam]] who [[OutlivingOnesOffspring killed his son]]. And Wogah the [[TheBlacksmith craftsman]] has a scar over his belly, though the fact that he's also [[AnArmAndALeg missing a lower arm]] overshadows this. On the evil side, [[BadassInCharge Warchief Ull]] of the Udam has a [[FacialHorror partially-melted face]], due to being attacked with Izila fire arrows, which makes him look inhuman and disturbing. Batari, the [[HighPriest Sun Daughter]] of the Izila, has a small line of ritual scarification crossing the bridge of her nose, appropriately for someone with a vaguely Afrocentric appearance.
* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', Setzer has ''many'' scars, but since he's a good guy, they're all clean, non-disfiguring hero scars.
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' Zack Fair has a small, clean [[XMarksTheHero x-shape scar]] on his jaw. From the same game, Red XIII / [[AccidentalMisnaming Nanaki]] mentions his many battle scars at one point when Cloud and company are discussing the mysterious men in the Black Cloaks and what [[MadScientist Professor Hojo]] might have done to them.
** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' plays the trope a little more subtly: Squall has a standard hero scar running diagonally across his forehead and between his eyes. His [[TheRival rival]] Seifer has an identical scar, which would also be a hero scar... if it weren't a mirror image inverse of Squall's, the two of them having mutually scarred one another in the opening FMV.
** Auron, a major good guy from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', has a vertical scar running down one side of his face over his eye. It's a bit more disfiguring than the other Franchise/FinalFantasy examples listed, and includes some damage to the eye itself (mostly hidden behind dark glasses), but is still recognizably a hero scar.
** Basch, a good guy from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'', has a non-disfiguring scar on his forehead which he received during his wrongful imprisonment. His back and shoulders are a bit of a mess, however, as seen during the [[ShirtlessScene Barheim Passage segment]] -- still hero scars, though.
** Gladiolus from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXV'' has a clean hero scar vertically across one eye, [[spoiler:and winds up with another across his chest and forehead respectively, leaving him with [[XMarksTheHero a classic hero scar]]]]. [[spoiler: Ignis is not so lucky: after [[EyeScream being blinded]], he winds up with a large, raised patch of scarring over his left eye, along with a few assorted nicks here and there.]]
* ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'':
** Saix, TheDragon in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'' has a similar X scar. Xigbar also has a heavily scarred face as well as an EyepatchOfPower.
** In the prequel, ''Birth by Sleep'', Eraqus, the heroes' mentor, has scars on his eyebrow and cheek. He's about as scarred as Xigbar, but, being a hero, his scars are light. And speaking of Xigbar, we see how he got his scars in the game.
** Squall and Seifer also show up, and their scars still match despite the fact that they have no connection in this universe.
* Vaida, the BrokenBird from ''Franchise/FireEmblem'', has a huge scar over the left side of her face. She starts out as a villain, but your Lord can [[HeelFaceTurn make her join their side]], and her supports reveal that she's no softie but ''does'' have feelings, as well as a fierce loyalty to those she cares for.
** Also, there's Hector's brother, Uther, with a scar across his forehead and another one across his nose. Black Fang's Legault has a double scar across his left eye, and Brendan Reed has dozens of them on his face alone. In contrast, the BigBad, Nergal, has [[spoiler:a bunch of really nasty burns all around his eye, which he hides with a turban]].
*** Let's not even get started on Oguma's X-shaped scar on his cheek...
** Interestingly, Zihark from Path of Radiance has one on his right cheek; literally the only good guy that has one (even though they all fight every other day!).
* ''Website/GaiaOnline'' has at least three examples, two straight, one subverted (maybe).
** Edmund shows the classic Good Scar: an X on his forehead.
** Zhivago the PsychoForHire vampire assassin has an obvious Evil Scar on the left side of his face.
** Marie Von Helson returned after a [[NoOneCouldSurviveThat skyscraper fell on her face]] with an Evil Scar over one eye. Possibly subverted, as she hasn't been particularly evil since then.
** A minor example of Good Scar is Sam, from the Body & Parts shop. While she still doesn't hold a great importance to the plot, she is seemingly good.
* Marcus in ''VideoGame/GearsOfWar'' has a number of scars but his most notable one would be a strong line running down his cheek which a number of vertical lines running down it, possible due to poorly done stitches or they're just deep wrinkles.
* In ''VideoGame/GodOfWarI'', [[VillainProtagonist Kratos]] sports a crudely stitched up scar over his right eye. When he gets stabbed through the stomach in [[VideoGame/GodOfWarII the sequel]], he gets another on his torso.
* Baiken, of the ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' series, lost her right arm and an eye when she was a little girl, leaving her a good character with Evil Scars.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Gungrave}}'' the somewhat titular protagonist lost his left eye when he was brutally murdered in the backstory. In place of his eye, he now has a really large, patchy scar, which is partially covered by the blacked out lens of his glasses.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Halo 3}}'', on the final level, a close-up of Sgt. Major Avery J. Johnson is shown. His face appears to be somewhat scarred. However, it is possible that this was not scarring, but [[spoiler: him being distraught about the death of Miranda Keyes]].
* Norman Jayden from ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'' has a clean scar across his cheek. Its origin was going to be explained in DLC content that was indefinitely postponed.
* ''VideoGame/InFAMOUS2'': Cole [=McGrath=] is sporting a somewhat noticeable scar.
* Gato, a morally conflicted but typically antagonistic character of ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' series, has three large, parallel scars on his back, apparently the result of a bear attack. The scars are typically covered up by his shirt.
** Geese Howard, following the events of the original ''VideoGame/FatalFury'', has a nasty scar on his back, received when he was thrown off the top of Geese Tower. He shows it off in his intro pose.
* ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic''.
** Ont of the most over-the-top examples is Darth Sion (appropriately called the Lord of Pain). Early in the game, a medical officer reports several THOUSAND fractures in his skeleton. Combined with that creepy music and the general dark nature of the game, it'll send chills down your spine. Doubly creepy later on when it becomes obvious that these injuries and scars are all self-inflicted; it's implied that Sion has mastered using pain as a source of power the way most Sith Lords use anger and passion; it would seem to work, he's effectively immortal unless [[spoiler:someone convinces him that letting go and allowing his body to die is preferable to his existence]].
** Darth Malak wears a metal mask for most of the game, concealing the lower half of his face. When he's finally shown without it, it's more horrifying than any simple scar could be. It's not that he hides something underneath it, it's what ''isn't'' there -- he's [[BodyHorror missing the entire jaw]]...
* In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'', [[BigBad Ganondorf]] has a large, glowing scar on his chest. A flashback reveals that he got it by surviving an execution attempt from a sage wielding a sword made out of HardLight. The scar is also Ganondorf's [[AttackItsWeakPoint weak point]], and must be struck several times in order to kill him.
* Averted in ''Franchise/MassEffect'': the player can create a character with scars that range anywhere from tiny and stylish to monstrous gashes, and their character's alignment is up to the player.
** Interestingly, no matter what background you select for Shepard, the manner in which you got that scar is never addressed.
** The sequel has a great deal of fun with this. First Mordin has a classic [[XMarksTheHero X-shaped]] scar and is missing the tip of one of his cranial horns, then Garrus gets some facial injuries that become evil-looking scars during your initial encounter with him, although he's a good guy. Even Commander Shepard him/herself falls to this: you get small facial scars at the start of the game, and you actions determine what happens. Doing [[NeutralGood Para]][[MessianicArchetype gon]] actions will make the scars look a lot softer to the point where they'll [[BeautyEqualsGoodness disappear completely]]. Doing [[ChaoticNeutral Rene]][[AntiHero gade]] actions will cause some [[RedRightHand gnarly looking evil scars, eventually becoming massive burns]] and your [[RedEyesTakeWarning eyes will turn red]]!
** Jack also has some scars mixed in along with the {{tattoo|edCrook}}s. From the [[http://i46.tinypic.com/2q3usqr.jpg precision and locations]], they appear to be surgical scars from her time at the Teltin facility.
** [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Wrex]] has a series of scars on the right side of his face that make him look evil, fitting his TokenEvilTeammate status of the first game as a bloodthirsty mercenary. If he survives the first game, he becomes a full on good guy leading his race to a brighter future.
** Mostly averted by Kaidan. Despite having undergone a series of painful and slightly traumatic operations in order to receive his (dangerously outdated) L2 implants, and being an active long-term member of the Alliance military, he of all people would be expected to sport numerous scars of various types, but [[http://www.flickr.com/photos/annakie/4396434255/sizes/l/ the few he has]] are only noticeable under certain lighting conditions if your graphics are set to maximum. Though Thane claims that he was able to recognize Kaidan as a biotic immediately due to his implant scars, so they seem to be [[InformedDeformity invisible only to the player]]. [[FridgeBrilliance The lack of combat scars makes sense]] considering he's both a biotic and a [[CombatMedic field medic]]. In the rare case when something did get through his barriers, he'd know how to treat his injuries to keep scarring from becoming an issue.
** ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' DownloadableContent character Zaeed Messani is scarred on the entire right side of his face, with a deep evil scar gouge crossing his whitened eye as a souvenir from [[spoiler:being ''[[TisOnlyABulletInTheBrain shot in the head at point blank range]]'']]. He's definitely [[VillainProtagonist not what you'd]] [[SociopathicHero call heroic]].
** This is a bit of a weird example because they're not an organic being, but your geth teammate [[MindHive Legion]] was left with a large chunk of their chest missing after being shot by a panicky human who assumed he was one of the "heretic" geth. They patched it up (slightly) with a piece of Shepard's old armor. The large chunk of black armour with the N7 markings also serve to distinguish them from other Geth platforms.
** BigGood candidate Admiral Hacket has a collection of facial scars that hint at his service record.
** From ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda'', teammate Jaal Amal Darav comes with a visible gash on the left side of his face (the reason for which is never given). Depending on the player's choices, he may well end up with a small scar on his right cheek at the end of his loyalty mission.
* Sigma from the ''VideoGame/MegaManX'' games has purple facial scars despite being a robot (and having more than one body throughout the course of the series). Originally he got them when a crazed Zero tore up his face in a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown (more severely than what one would conclude from the scars), but this was retconned so that they were from X clawing at his eyes with a white-hot hand. In the manga, they're self-inflicted using the heat from his FingerFirearms.
** In ''Mega Man X7'' Red (bad guy) has a lightning bolt-shaped gash starting from his forehead and ending below his missing right eye, while Axl (good guy) has two clean, straight scars forming an X across the bridge of his nose. Both are robots.
* Colonel Volgin from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater'' has deep scars all over his face (and presumably his entire body), and The Pain's face is one big bee sting.
** [[spoiler:{{Fallen Hero}}es]] Major Zero and Big Boss both have scars across the eyes, with Big Boss ''lacking'' his eye. As of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'', Big Boss,[[spoiler: or rather his body double Venom Snake,]] now firmly established as an AntiVillain [[VillainProtagonist Protagonist]], sports more than a few thin scars across his face, as well as a [[ArtificialLimbs prosthetic left hand]] and a piece of shrapnel embedded in his forehead [[HornedHumanoid in the shape of a horn]].
** The Boss also has an impressive scar on her abdomen [[spoiler:from a C-section]].
** It's said that [[AxCrazy The]] [[SociopathicHero Fury]] has burn scars on over 90% of his body, but not his face.
** ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'': Skull Face, the villain who blew up Snake's Mother Base and put him in a coma, truly lives up to his name; his face is pretty much nothing ''but'' burn scars, in addition to a GlasgowGrin, and he overall looks as if he's ''rotting.''
* The younger Sub-Zero from ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' got a scar running from above his eye downwards between ''VideoGame/MortalKombat2'' and ''VideoGame/MortalKombat3''. As the series progressed, he became [[LegacyCharacter a substitute for his older brother]] and became much more heroic.
* During the interim of ''{{VideoGame/Persona 3}}'' and ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena'', the result of Akihiko Sanada's global journey has left him with several sets of jagged but otherwise neat scars all over his arms and his torso.
** The sequel, ''Ultimax'', introduces Sho Minazuki, who has an X-shaped scar on his face. It's actually smaller and neater than many of Akihiko's scars, but he's the BigBad.
* Soldier:76, aka Jack Morrison, has some facial scaring from the explosion that destroyed [[VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} Overwatch's]] former headquarters; one across the bridge of his nose, one over his mouth, both of them neatly healed cuts. In his default skin, these are hidden behind his mask and visor. Before his face was revealed in the origins trailer, some [[NothingIsScarier fans speculated the scarring from the explosion might be ''much'' worse]] [including but not limited to second degree burns, skin grafts, scar tissue, blindness, etc...].
* Averted in ''VideoGame/PlanescapeTorment'', in which the protagonist, known only as The Nameless One, is scarred horribly all over his body -- his skin is almost literally ''made'' of scar tissue from all the wounds he's taken over his millennia-long existence. You can play him as a villainous monster, but the possibility exists for him to be the [[TheCape capiest cape that ever put on a (metaphorical) cape]].
** However, conversation options reveal that [[ICallHimMisterHappy at least one part of him]] is (against all odds) completely intact.
* During the course of events in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil4'', Leon gets a small cut across his otherwise perfect face during a knife fight. Contrast his [[TheRival rival]] antagonist Krauser, who already has several scars along his face and lips.
** And then Krauser gets another one straight across his chest after a lengthy knife fight with Leon.
** Jake Muller of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil6'' has a long, but otherwise clean scar going down his left cheek towards his neck.
** In her epilogue in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis'', Ada Wong, the series' resident [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor morally ambiguous]] FemmeFatale, is shown to have a long, straight, and apparently deep scar stretching along the right side of her ribcage. However, no mention of the scar has been made since.
** Due to a device being forcibly ripped off of her, [[spoiler:Jill Valentine]] gets an unusual burn-like scar with pin pricks on her chest, courtesy of a boss fight in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5''. It presumably remains there. In this case, she was BrainwashedAndCrazy.
* [[SkyPirate Vyse]], the main character of ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'' has a neat little scar under his left eye. In [[UpdatedRerelease Legends]], it is explained he received it via a knife thrown by [[spoiler:Piastol, AKA the Angel of Death, when they were younger.]]
* In ''[[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soul Calibur V]]'', the [[CharacterCustomization character editor]] allows you to place facial scars on your character, with most of them heroic-looking, like a neat scar across the cheek or a vertical cut through the eye. The closest thing to evil-looking you can get is a nasty scar with stitches running horizontally across the face, across the nose.
** From the series, WarriorMonk Kilik has a neat checkmark scar below his left eye, and Mitsurugi has a bullet wound scar on his left shoulder. The latter's scar is a ContinuityNod to his ending in the first game ''Soul Edge,'' where he challenges a gunman to a duel; you can fail or succeed against him in the game, but the fact that the scar exists later on notes that he canonically got shot during the duel. Siegfried starts the series with a pretty boy's face but come his return in the original ''Calibur'', he sports a long vertical scar over his left eye, speculated to have been gained during his battle with Souledge/Inferno at the end of ''Soul Blade''.
* In ''VideoGame/Splatoon'', the main villain Octavio has an x shaped scar on his left tentacle-arm. This scar is also present on the tentacles that serve as weak points on bosses.
* ''VideoGame/StarFox2'' was the first game to feature Wolf O'Donnell, Fox's EvilCounterpart. However, thanks to [[TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment how long Nintendo kept it on the shelf]], it wasn't the game that introduced the character to fans. Originally, Wolf had a very large, vertical scar over his right eye. All of his later incarnations instead have some kind of [[EyepatchOfPower eyepatch]] over his ''[[{{Retcon}} left]]'' eye instead.
** ''VideoGame/StarFoxAssault'' brought us Panther Caroso, a suave ladies' man, who has a large white cheek scar on the right side of his face. It greatly resembles a DuelingScar, but there has so far been no indication how he got it. However, the worst that could be said of him is that he is mercenary in his pursuits and not above being a [[TheCasanova shameless]] yet [[ChivalrousPervert noble]] flirt besides.
* ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'', from what we've seen so far, tends to use massive scarring to indicate a badass. Both [[{{Determinator}} Jace Malcolm]], the Republic trooper who founded [[TheSquad Havoc Squad]], and [[NobleDemon Darth Malgus]] have major facial scarring... mostly from the times they've encountered each other. ''Especially'' the time Malcolm detonated a grenade in ''melee combat''.
** During character creation, all manners of scars are available, from simple, stylish cuts to burn-victim scars an ones that channel [[Franchise/{{Hellraiser}} Pinhead]]. What manner you play your character is still up to you. At the same time, there is a huge discrepancy in the amount of {{N|onPlayerCharacter}}PCs you encounter with Bad Scars on the [[TheEmpire Sith Empire's side]] and [[TheFederation the Republic's]].
* In the ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' universe, Sagat (a morally ambiguous fighter, but usually either the final or penultimate fight) has both a missing eye and a giant scar on his chest, the latter of which Ryu, his rival, gave him with his signature Shoryuken. Although he's presented as a ProudWarriorRace guy (and ArrogantKungFuGuy, oddly enough), his boss status means that he's a DesignatedVillain.
** He ''did'', however, kill Dan's father. And he works for Bison...
*** Note that in the case of Dan's dad... [[spoiler:according to a {{Retcon}}, Sagat killed Go Hibiki because he ripped his eye off during a fight, which sent Sagat into an UnstoppableRage. Sagat was ''not'' happy when he calmed down and found out]]. And about Bison, it's also retconned into him being more confused, misguided, and ''extremely'' pissed off, rather than evil and fully converted to Bison's cause.
*** In addition, he made a HeelFaceTurn, choosing to be a WorthyOpponent rather than a RivalTurnedEvil, way back in ''VideoGame/{{Street Fighter|Alpha}} [[{{Prequel}} Alpha]]'', which retconned his appearance in SFII as not actually working for Bison after all. Going back to Dan's dad, Dan coming after Sagat for revenge was what caused him to realize his hatred was destroying him and led him to his HeelFaceTurn in the first place.
** On the good scar side, Cammy's manages to make an overly muscular woman downright ''adorable''.
** [[HuskyRusskie Ah, comrade!!]] [[BoisterousBruiser Zangief]] will be the first to tell you that no scars are as good as those earned when wrestling bears for Mother Russia! Hahaha!
* ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars64'': Brad Skywind has a cross shaped scar on his forehead, and though people label him a "bad boy", he's a good one.
* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' has the Sniper, who was previously unscarred but received a cut on his nose and cheek after being slashed in the face by [[KnifeNut The Spy]] in the course of "Meet The Spy." Whether this is a heroic or villainous scar depends on one's personal opinion of Snipers in the game; in-universe he can be either a ColdSniper or a FriendlySniper depending on circumstances.
* ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}''
** Sergei Dragunov has several scars, his most notable being the one that runs through his lips and down his chin. He also sports one across his nose, and, if one opts to make him shirtless via customization in ''Tekken 6'', it can be seen that he sports numerous ones over his torso and arms, including a bullet wound on his left shoulder. He isn't exactly a bad guy, but he is at least morally ambiguous.
** Kazuya Mishima, occasional BigBad of the series, sports a large diagonal scar running across his chest in the first two games. However, upon being thrown into a volcano and subsequently coming BackFromTheDead, he now has additional (and numerous) scars all over his body. His father, Heihachi, also sports a large cross-shaped scar on his chest.
** Also, Raven has a large X-shaped scar across the middle of his face.
** Steve Fox has a very large, raised scar that runs pretty much the entire length of his arm.
** Marshall Law, in the later games, has three claw-marks that run across his chest, although this is clearly a nod to [[BruceLeeClone Bruce Lee's famous scars]] in ''Film/EnterTheDragon''.
** Lars Alexandersson has two facial scars: one through his left eyebrow, and one on his cheek.
* Rikimaru, playing character from ''VideoGame/{{Tenchu}}'', sports a scar over the right eye.
* ''VideoGame/UruAgesBeyondMyst'' features Nekisahloth, leader of the HeWhoFightsMonsters Bahro, who's got this big scar where [[spoiler:[[EvilutionaryBiologist Esher]]]] removed a patch of his skin.
* ''VideoGame/TheWitcher'':
** The first game both plays this straight and subverts it. On the one hand, the hero Geralt has the stylish rugged variety of scars on his face, notably a large scar which crosses over (but does not damage) his left eye. His body, however, is covered with a horrific collection of claw-marks, stab wound scars and what looks like what's left of a torn off nipple. Fellow Witchers also have scars, and while most are also of the rugged variety, [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080923012432/witcher/images/8/86/People_Eskel_full.png Eskel]] has a truly horrific scar completely covering half of his face, though he is as [[GreyAndGrayMorality close to good as it gets]] in this world as well as a pretty [[NiceGuy decent bloke]].
** In [[VideoGame/TheWitcher2AssassinsOfKings the sequel]], Letho and Iorveth have extensive scars. Letho has scars crisscrossing his whole head, it almost looks as though someone tried to scalp him but didn't get the job done. Iorveth, has a very large scar covering half of his face, which apparently destroyed one eye. He covers the scar with a [[NiceHat special hat]] that covers part of his face.
* Osamu Kashiwagi from ''VideoGame/{{Yakuza}}'' has a deep evil-looking scar running across his face under his eyes. Subverted because he's one of the more calm and respectable members of the clan and was Kiryu's senior back when he was starting out in the yakuza.
