Line 10: Compare to [[Humanity on Trial]], when the humans have to convince the [[Powers That Be]] to accept their will, instead of themselves getting trusted with making the right decision. ~~----~~ {{examples}}▼ ▲{{examples}} == [[Anime]] &and [[Manga]] == * In ''[[Planet Ladder]]'', the Ditz main character is responsible for deciding the survival of planets. Towards the beginning, her mentor tries futilely to pound that into her bubbly head. * In ''[[Scrapped Princess]]'', {{spoiler\|the [[Sufficiently Advanced Aliens\|sufficiently advanced]] god-program-thing, Mauser, asked Pacifica if it was really such a good idea to trap mankind in [[Medieval Stasis]], because she started to doubt in it herself.}} Line 45 ⟶ 44: == [[Video Games]] == * In [[Zero Punctuation\|Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw's]] homemade adventure game "Adventures In The Galaxy Of Fantabulous Wonderment" {{spoiler\|this happens at the end when the [[Powers That Be]], actually the spirits of everyone who ever died, ask the hero to choose whether they should raise everyone to the same state of existence as them and explore other universes, or whether they should just let humanity develop on its own.}} * A notorious mission in ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'' revolves around this. The [[Hive Mind\|Geth]], a race of robots, have split into two groups - the main group, which just wants [[Heroic Neutral\|to be left alone to evolve and learn.]] A smaller group (aka 'the heretics') have taken up a deal with a race of [[Eldritch ~~Abominations~~Abomination]]s to recieve great power by becoming slaves. The main Geth have a virus that can rewrite the heretics to conform to the main group's point of view - effectively brainwashing them - and give them the desire to return home. The moral conundrum is whether to brainwash the heretics, or simply destroy them. The entire Geth race is divided almost exactly fifty-fifty over it, so they turn to the only organic they trust [[Player Character\|(Shepard)]] to make the decision for them. * This is how the world is supposed to work in ''[[Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne]]''. Humans with strong Reasons (principles, really) fights each others and the victor ascend to Kagutsuchi, which then remake the world according to the Human's wish. But then Lucifer ~~had to come around and screwing~~screwed the system by creating the Demi-Fiend (you, that is). {{reflist}} [[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]]▼ [[Category:Religion Tropes]] [[Category:Older Than Feudalism]] ▲[[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]]
