4. Bloodborne

Now, most of Bloodborne you spend being pretty honest in your intentions - because your intentions are to murder a whole host of blood-crazed beasts, and it's hard to dishonestly stab someone.

But, after you fight Ludwig the Accursed - former badass Healing Church hunter turned into a creepy horse-like monster - you're given the option to tell what is honestly kind of a whopper in order to do the right thing.

Because if you approach Ludwig's cut off head after beating him while in Church garb, he'll ask you a kind of loaded question: "Are my Church Hunters the honourable spartans I hoped they would be?".

Now, you can tell him the truth and say no, because the majority of his fellow hunters have also become awful violent creatures - but if you want that sweet Holy Moonlight Sword as soon as you can, you're going to have to suck it up and lie to him.

To be fair, it's not a cruel lie, because you're essentially giving a dying man peace of mind that his life and sacrifices were worth something before he passes away. It just... might not be totally true, strictly speaking.
