Added DiffLines:
* ''VideoGame/ValkyriaChronicles4'' has an unusual two-villain pairing, with [[TheCasanova Casanova]] and RecurringBoss Klaus Waltz being the only one to show real sympathy to Crymaria, a DefrostingIceQueen who was RaisedInALab and abused most of her life, believing that TheEmpire using her as a LivingWeapon was no way to treat a beautiful woman. [[spoiler: They actually end up together in the end and are implied to live HappilyEverAfter.]]

** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'': Played with in the case of [[spoiler:The Iron Bull. What 'redeems' him from being a Qun zealot is his [[AFatherToHisMen fatherly love towards his Chargers]]. If you sacrifice the Chargers, Bull betrays you in ''Trespasser'' and must be killed. Period. A romance with the Inquisitor or Dorian will ''not'' prevent this.]]
* ''VideoGame/GodOfWar'': The [[VideoGame/GodOfWarPS4 Norse]] [[VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok games]] have this as a major theme. The biggest reason Kratos has turned from a vengeful berserker with a HairTriggerTemper to a grumpy-but-caring man is because he met Faye and found something to honestly love in her, and his paternal love for Atreus allows him to shake off most of his NominalHero traits.[[spoiler: In ''Ragnarok'', Thor is ultimately inspired to turn against Odin when Kratos appeals to him to be a better father to his daughter Thrud.]]

* ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'': Eingyi was a nasty little joker, and is implied to be the reason why the swamp below Blighttown is poisonous. However, after meeting the Fair Lady and her saving his life at the expense of [[DelicateAndSickly her own health, he happily resigned himself to serving her faithfully and [[BodyHorror carrying her eggs]] for her.

** Zevran Arainai in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'', if treated kindly, will turn his back on [[MurderInc the Crows]] for love of the Warden (either platonic or romantic). Subverted for Morrigan, who sees this trope coming and backpedals desperately to stay a bitch... and then double-subverted in ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'': Morrigan [[spoiler:offers to surrender without resistance to Flemeth out of love for her son]].
** ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'' [[spoiler:viciously subverts this with Anders. As his sanity slips away and Vengeance corrupts him further and further, he pleads with Hawke to help him find the ingredients to create a potion that will separate him from his demon side. It turns out that the ingredients are actually components for a bomb, and Hawke's love or friendship has made him/her an unwitting accomplice rather than his redeemer. The same thing happens whether or not you romance him, but it hurts a lot more when it telegraphs and then snatches away this trope.]]
