Trope cleanup and misuse. The first sentence falls more under Adaptational Self Defense. Talked with some users and factions and conflict are still grey but with one side being lighter shade of grey than the other. Twinbraid is still shown to be a racist hypocrite with a Never My Fault stance in-universe.


** On the other hand, some writers seem to depict ''every'' single member of the Alliance as wholly good and ignore or [[AdaptationalSelfDefense even rewrite]] any morally grey action the Alliance did to make it unambiguously justified. For one individual case, General Twinbraid was depicted in prior expansion as a DirtyCoward and [[FantasticRacism Fantastic racist]] with a hatred of animal people. Yet come, ''Mists of Pandaria'', Twinbraid was suddenly depicted as out to save the Pandaren from the "evil" of the Horde, with his cowardly tendencies, FantasticRacism and past warcrimes getting zero mention by the narrative.

** ''VideoGame/TombRaiderII'' and ''VideoGame/TombRaiderIII'' has her acting no nonsense at times and is quite snarky with everyone. Compared to the voice actress who portrayed Lara has having a high pitched voice, the voice actress used here is much deeper sounding. This version of Lara is also more willing to kill other people, especially if they get in her way.
** ''VideoGame/TombRaiderTheLastRevelation'' and ''VideoGame/TombRaiderChronicles'' has Lara doubling down on the snark and can come off as very rash and rude. Lara's voice actress was changed again to have her sounding higher pitched once more with some sultriness mixed in. This incarnation of Lara also has her acting selfish and petty, such as breaking into von Croy's headquarters in ''Chronicles'' and killing a bunch of his guards just to steal back the artifact they found in ''The Last Revelation''.

** ''VideoGame/TombRaiderAnniversary'' changes Lara's personality again, but is justified due to it being a prequel towards ''Legend''. Lara comes off as no nonsense at times, but is very daring when the need for it arises. Lara also makes her first human kill (Larson) and is visibly very shaken up over it, but learns to get over it.
** ''VideoGame/TombRaiderUnderworld'' has Lara acting more aggressive and hostile due to her dealing with her long time nemesis Amanda and the return of [[BigBad Jacqueline Natla]], the latter being responsible for the death of Lara's father and her friend Alister. This has her also acting a bit cold towards Zip, though it is brief.

** Dr. Eggman is one of the more consistent characters in the franchise, owing to his simple core persona as an ego-driven MadScientist who wants to TakeOverTheWorld no matter [[DespotismJustifiesTheMeans how much or how little destruction he causes]], but the main thing that changes about him from game to game is how much his humorous or serious traits are emphasized, which typically change along with the tone and story the game is aiming for.
