* In the ''[[Franchise/KingdomHearts Kingdom Hearts]]''/''Series/GameOfThrones'' crossover fic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13425922/1/A-Song-of-Fire-Ice-and-Hearts A Song of Fire, Ice, and Hearts]]'', Roxas is adored by practically everyone who knows of him due to being a kind and gentle soul who nonetheless is one of the few beings powerful enough to defeat the Heartless, which he does without asking for anything in return. In fact, the amount of people who dislike him so far is very limited, with Joffrey being the first one that comes to mind; but then again, there's not a lot of people he ''does'' like.

* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'': Aku's forces are the ''only'' ones who hate Jack. Everyone else adores and respects him for the good he's done; [[SamuraiJack/TropesSeason5 Episode XCVII]] is one big ContinuityCavalcade devoted to how much everyone Jack has ever helped and inspired see him as a [[HopeBringer beacon of hope]] in a world dominated by Aku. Even the bounty hunters at Da Samurai's BadGuyBar who Jack defeated in the past ''respect'' Jack. To drive the point home, in the GrandFinale, [[spoiler:Aku captures Jack and announces his plan to publicly execute him to [[MakeAnExampleOfThem make an example of him]] and [[HopeCrusher crush everyone's hopes]]. The exact opposite happens; rather than be disheartened, ''everyone'' Jack has ever helped storms Aku's fortress en masse to rescue him]].

* ''Anime/DragonBallZ'': As the [[FakeUltimateHero hero who defeated Cell]], Mr. Satan is beloved the world over from the Cell Saga onwards. Orange Star City was renamed after him, the entire World Martial Arts Tournament centers around him to the point he can skip the elimination round, something no other champion before him could do, and gets military support by just asking. It really shines during the fight with Kid Buu; the people of Earth ignore Goku and Vegeta's pleas for their energy to fuel the Spirit Bomb and refuse to help them, but they almost immediately change their tune when Mr. Satan steps in and yells at them to cooperate.

* ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption'' is interesting in that it has both positive and negative consequences for having a high "honor" rating. In law-abiding towns like Armadillo or Blackwater, shops will sell for less and buy for more, lawmen and citizens will overlook most crimes other than murder or bank robbery, jobs pay twice as much, and you have a random chance of encountering a nun who gives you an item that cuts enemy accuracy by 25%. Conversely, in [[WretchedHive Theives' Landing]] shops will charge you more and buy for less, you're more likely to get challenged to a duel, and citizens may randomly open fire on you the moment you ride into town.

* Throughout ''VideoGame/Persona5'', a bar gives you the public opinion on the Phantom Thieves at all times and fluctuates over the course of the story. [[spoiler:In the finale, after the final boss reveals he could have destroyed you all without taking a beat and was only feigning taking damage, the inspiration of Mishima brings the approval to 100%. With the [[YourMindMakesItReal current status]] of the world ([[HoistByYourOwnPetard brought on by Yaldabaoth himself]]), the overwhelming support unleashes Joker’s Ultimate Persona Satanael]].

* In ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'', Dwarves love their history, and if your adventurer has done anything noteworthy within range of a fortress embark, they will canonize the player in artworks. As of 3.18, an adventurer acquires renown for slaying beasts and bandits within a single civilization and will be greeted with respect, even awe if they have high enough reputation to get quests directly from region rulers. As your reputation goes up, you're also capable of recruiting more people to fight with you at once, getting as much as 9 1/2 times as many as a reputation-less adventure could.

* In ''VideoGame/ArcanumOfSteamworksAndMagickObscura'' the PC gets better reaction from other characters (including shopkeepers who give them discounts) if he or she helped the inhabitants of a given settlement. Additionally, characters sometimes mention specific deeds of the PC and act accordingly. Of course, evil deeds get attention and respect of shady characters (including party members who base their decision to join the PC on his or her karma meter).
* ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' and [[VideoGame/BaldursGateII its sequel]] do this with its Reputation mechanic, which doubles as its KarmaMeter. Effects range from half prices in shops at the high end, higher morale in party members of a good alignment (making them more resistant to fear effects) and (very rarely) allows you to [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath solve certain situations by talking instead of fighting]]. On the flip side, playing evil (and keeping in mind that in ''Baldur's Gate'', evil equals StupidEvil) gives you higher shop prices, sics guards and bounty hunters at you inside of towns, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and makes certain [=NPCs=] call you names]].
* In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', this applies to Hawke after becoming the Champion of Kirkwall. [[KnightTemplar Knight-Commander Meredith]] will even allow a Mage Hawke to remain free as reward for their services to the city, although it's implied the ''real'' reason is because she doesn't want to spark a riot by locking them up.

*** Oh, and you do get a statue of your character built (it's essentially a copy of your character model at the time the quest was completed but stone textured) which is modeled with the most valuable items you have with you when you do this. There is a very nice and thus valuable dagger you get from the Brotherhood, which will take precedence. It just looks silly - full regalia, big armor, giant shield... but thrusting a 3 inch ''dagger'' [[StabTheSky into the sky]]...

*** This to seems to have been fixed as of recent updates, with people commenting only on your current ranking within a guild. Though you can still have one guard praise you for your valor, while the one next to him is calling you a sneak thief and threatening to chop off your hand.
*** You will also get random dialogue based on skill levels, which can make things weird. You may get an NPC threatening you as a sneak thief due to your stealth and lockpicking skill even if you've never stolen anything or done any Thieves' Guild quests. Or as a mage with a focus in necromancy (which is in the conjuration school) you'll have a random guard asking you to conjure him up a warm bed.

-->Fist: I'm a good boy now, so ''PISS OFF.''

** In M&MVI, if you want to get Dark Magic Master skill ranking, you have to drive your rep all the way down to "Notorious", easily accomplished by, say, massacring all the peasants in Free Haven. But once you have got your Master ranking, you can cool the heat by dropping a few dozen to a few hundred gold in the local temple's poor-box (if you don't have several hundred thousand by this point, you're mismanaging your money supply) and can very well get all the way back to "Saintly" before the end of the game. And though you can bring the peasants back to life (''Reanimate'' works just fine with no apparent after effects), this in itself does nothing for your reputation, nor does leaving out this step matter in the slightest.

* Happens in the ''VideoGame/QuestForGlory'' games, especially with each additional sequel, with [=NPCs=] addressing you with titles such as "Hero of Shapeir" the more good deeds you've done. Generally each new installment has the hero winding up in a land where people are initially suspicious or ambivalent, but wind up warming up to you the more you help people out.
** Every game in the series has the locals recognize you for your deeds, but the most obvious is the fourth game, since the Mordavians begin the game distrustful and subtly hostile towards you and end up cheering for you as you clean up the valley.

* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'': Aku's forces are the ''only'' ones who hate Jack. Everyone else adores and respects him for the good he's done; [[SamuraiJack/TropesSeason5 Episode XCVII]] is one big ContinuityCavalcade devoted to how much everyone Jack has ever helped and inspired see him as a [[HopeCrusher beacon of hope]] in a world dominated by Aku. Even the bounty hunters at Da Samurai's BadGuyBar who Jack defeated in the past ''respect'' Jack. To drive the point home, in the GrandFinale, [[spoiler:Aku captures Jack and announces his plan to publicly execute him to [[MakeAnExampleOfThem make an example of him]] and [[HopeCrusher crush everyone's hopes]]. The exact opposite happens; rather than be disheartened, ''everyone'' Jack has ever helped storms Aku's fortress en masse to rescue him]].

[=RPGs=] are a fun way to act as TheHero, though at times they can be frustrating because all the good the player does [[DudeWheresMyRespect never earns fame and respect]], at best [[GrudgingThankYou netting a "thank you"]] ([[ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike if it's even]] [[UngratefulBastard recognized]]) and [[DudeWheresMyReward possibly]] a nifty material reward. However, if the game has a [[FamedInStory Fame]] or [[AllianceMeter Reputation]] mechanic along with the KarmaMeter, then [[OneHundredPercentCompletion completing every]] good-aligned SideQuest will result in the townspeople everywhere throwing rose petals at the {{Player Character}}s feet while unveiling their new [[ElementalCrafting solid mithril]] statue.

These are some of the effects of having a 100% Heroism Rating: [[FamedInStory people know your name]] (and new quests open up because of it), [[AdamSmithHatesYourGuts Adam Smith]] orders every shopkeep to give you a discount, an InfinityPlusOneSword or the like, and a [[TheMagnificent fancy title]]. Even the {{Trauma Inn}}keeper will ''insist'' on giving you a meal and bed free of charge (after all, you did rescue [[DamselInDistress his daughter]] from kobolds, stop the extortion racket targeting him, ''and'' [[FetchQuest got him]] a year's supply of wine), and it's all in addition to the [[VideogameCaringPotential warm glowy feeling inside]] you'll get.

!!Examples:

** Also, if you're good, then in the middle of fights, they might throw rocks at your enemies. It gets really helpful if they manage to stop a rocket-launcher-toting foe from blasting you long enough to blow him away first. Of course, the downside to all of this is that the people of Empire City and New Marais know only one fighting style: Swarming-Leeroy-Jenkins-Fu. They're actually remarkably effective, even against superpowered mooks, but if you're trying to bring out the big guns, quite a few civilians can get accidentally fried. Not good for the KarmaMeter. (Fortunately, zapping a civilian isn't that big of a ding to your Karma. Draining their energy to heal yourself, however...)

** In addition to the reputation mechanic itself, there are several {{Easter Egg}}s where [=NPCs=] acknowledge particularly important feats if the player character has done them, but has more impersonal dialogue if not. For example, if a player did the quest chain to enter Onyxia's lair way back in original, classic WoW (obsolete since 2008 if not earlier and removed from the game entirely a little after that), a certain lord general greets the player like an old friend when encountered in Northrend. If the player hadn't done that quest, though, they're just greeted like some stranger.

* This comes to help you in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV''. When the player [[spoiler:is accused of {{Regicide}} during the mission "Before the Fall"]], the NPCs steadfastly refuse to believe you would do such a thing and this is before other influential parties tell the citizens that they are not guilty and not to believe any rumors they hear.

* ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' and [[VideoGame/BaldursGateII its sequel]] do this with its Reputation mechanic, which doubles as its KarmaMeter. Effects range from half prices in shops at the high end, higher morale in party members of a good alignment (making them more resistant to fear effects) and (very rarely) allows you to [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath solve certain situations by talking instead of fighting]]. On the flip side, playing evil (and keeping in mind that in ''Baldur's Gate'', evil equals StupidEvil) gives you higher shop prices, sics guards and bounty hunters at you inside of towns, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and makes certain NPCs call you names]].

* The "Fame" mechanic in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI'' loosely functioned like this. Besides just not doing quests, there's hardly any "infamous" or evil actions to be taken to lower fame, but doing loads of quests in a given jurisdiction will raise your fame. Jurisdictions include the three starter towns, Khazam, Jeuno (which is the fame averaged among the three starter towns), and the [[TheSyndicate ''Tenshodo'']]. Several quests for important (or at least once-important) items, usually spell scrolls like Warp II or Utsusemi: Ichi, required a certain level of fame within the quest giver's organization to be able to start. After all, the high ranking government official isn't going to trust just any hobo adventurer off the street with sensitive matters, not when they can get a hand that has a dependable reputation to back them up.

** In ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'', after you complete the main quest, many people will stammer and ask you to forgive them because they don't know how to speak to such an important person. Others will thank you for your heroic deeds.
*** The "stammering" response was supposed to be one of several possible responses to your heroism, but due to a scripting glitch, it is the only one that gets used by most NPC's. There are several [[GameMod game mods]] that fix the glitch so you can get all of the responses.
*** This is subverted after completing the main quest for the Tribunal expansion. You can tell everyone in conversation that you killed [[spoiler: Almalexia]] and found [[spoiler: Sotha Sil]] dead, but only Helseth and Vivec actually seem to believe you. And claiming it to a Dunmer NPC will result in an incredulous response and a disposition drop with that character.

** In ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIVOblivion Oblivion]]'' you have to settle for the occasional compliment ("You're the one who closed the demon gate! The Hero of Kvatch!"). Although you get these based on your actions regardless of your fame or infamy. The last two Elder Scrolls games, and possibly the earlier ones, also increase [=NPCs=]' disposition towards you as your fame rating increases.
*** Oh, and you do get a statue of your character built (it's essentially a copy of your character model at the time the quest was completed but stone textured) which is modeled with the most valuable items you have with you when you do this. There is a very nice and thus valuable dagger you get from the Brotherhood, which will take precedence. It just looks silly - full regalia, big armour, giant shield, ramming a 3 inch dagger [[StabTheSky into the sky]]...
*** ''Oblivion'' tracks fame and infamy separately so you can be greeted heartily when you approach a guard and then be chastised for being a thief when you talk to him.
** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'' gives you a mixed result after completing the main quest or rising to the top of any of the guilds. New NPC responses are added to available pool, but old ones are never removed. So, for example, one NPC might thank you for saving the world from [[spoiler: Alduin]] while the one right next to him berates you for [[spoiler: releasing the dragon you captured in order to ''get to Alduin.'']] It's no better for the faction quest lines either. One NPC may hail you as [[spoiler: harbinger]] of the Companions, while another then immediately asks you if, as a rookie member, you have to fetch everyone's mead.
