8. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Over the course of your adventuring, it's likely that an unsuspecting settlement will be terrorised by a dragon, vampires or cultists. Naturally, as the protagonist, equipped with extraordinary powers (or just badass weapons), you are expected to save the day and heroically fell all threats, saving the unfortunate citizens from turning into lumpy floor furnishings.
Should the player fail in their unspoken task of protecting non-essential NPCs, or even accidentally kill them in the midst of battle, there is still a chance they may be rewarded.
What's worse is the more casualties there are, the more lucrative it might prove. Cue the arrival of an omniscient courier, dedicated enough to track you all across the continent.
Like a lost member of the three wise men, he comes bearing a gift- inheritance from all the friends you've made along the way who sadly lost their lives due to your ineptitude or laxity.
Thank yous don't buy you nice things, but septims definitely do.
