However, there is the other scenario where a group of heroes kill the bad guy, like in the classic game Final Fantasy 3. In that case, there were numerous witnesses to the final battle and when they tell their tale, those heroes will probably instantly become rock stars in their fictional world. With the world privy to their selfless act, do you think our heroes will ever have to pay for a beer again? Do they now have the option to turn down an orgy for the third time that day? These are the (brainfart) thoughts that go through my head on a daily basis.
I guess it seems like these scenarios would only arise in the classic video games because in your more modern games, the main characters already seem to be known as bad asses in their fictional universes. For example, Master Chief from Halo already has a reputation of kicking ass when you are introduced to him or Marcus Fenix from Gears of War is instantly the go-to guy when you start playing those games. In any case, I've always wanted to see a video game ending where it shows the hero having to fight off chicks with a stick because he is the most famous person alive.
