** The inversion is a quest from House Telvanni to ''ask'' a certain scholar three questions regarding the [[RiddleForTheAges Dwemer]]. While the quest giver will accept any answer, no matter how brief, you'll get a better

reward the more specific the answers are (i.e. the higher the scholar's disposition is when you ask the questions).

* In ''VideoGame/QuestForGloryI'', a gargoyle who guards the house of the wizard Erasmus asks the hero three questions similar to these, probably as a reference to ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail''. If he gives the wrong answer, he is transported back to the bottom of the mountain. The questions are random and along with the standard "what is your name?" and "what is your quest?" there are also questions either about information you've learned in the game or ones that are {{shout out}}s to other media. For instance, to "what is your quest?" the hero can answer "[[VideoGame/MonkeyIsland I want to be a pirate.]]" Another question asks what the password to the thieves guild is, and the correct response is actually to [[SecretTestOfCharacter give a wrong answer to prove that you are not a thief.]] (The VGA version is slightly different as ''only'' answer the gargoyle will accept "I don't know." as the answer) And the answer to "What's the meaning of life?"... [[Franchise/TheHitchHikersGuideToTheGalaxy 42.]]
** And once again for ''Quest For Glory 5'', except with a titanic cloud creature replacing it. However it does this only once, and the questions are "Who are you, what is your quest, and what is the meaning of life." which anybody can answer.
* One of the [[HeartContainer Pieces of Heart]] in ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess Twilight Princess]]'' requires solving three [[FrictionlessIce ice]] [[BlockPuzzle block puzzles]] in a row.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Machinarium}}'', you are given three "complete the pattern" puzzles by a ventilation fan robot. [[spoiler:Subverted by the fact that if you get them right, the robot will simply fall back to sleep. You're actually supposed to [[MisereGame get the questions wrong]] to make the robot angry enough to eject the fan allowing you to go inside the shaft.]]
* ''VideoGame/Fallout2'' contains a reference to the TropeNamer in the form of the Bridgekeeper special encounter. He first asks the PlayerCharacter the first two questions asked in the movie, and then asks an obscure trivia question from the game ("What are the requirements for 'Quick Pockets' perk," "Who came back from ''VideoGame/Fallout1''", and "How much can you carry with a Strength of 6 and 'Strong Back'?"). Of course, you can respond to these questions with one of your own, which kills him, giving 500 experience points. You can ''try'' to kill him for 7500 experience points (none too shabby). but have to deal with his deceptively strong robes and kamikaze cattle.
* PlayedForLaughs in ''VideoGame/NightInTheWoods''. The trio of goth teenagers won't let Mae and Bea enter the graveyard without answering three questions... when they first had sex, what their most embarrassing moment was, and what their ideal date would be. Bea thinks this is ridiculous, but she and Mae go along with it. [[spoiler:Then, afterwards, the teens admit there's nothing they can do to actually ''stop'' them from entering, and they could've gone on in at any time. Mae and Bea are not amused.]]
