i don't know if dungeon keeper and dungeon keeper II are considered CRPGs but i don't see why not.
and i want to theorise that throughout history the reason stories are told where the hero always wins is because parents wanted their children to think of good as the better side and want to be good when they grew up.
plus, good trumping evil is a very biblical concept and christianity is pretty widespread.
the whole "shooting out view screens with a rubberband" thing is merely for suspense so that people will think "i know the good guy will win but i wonder how they're gonna do it." this way people will want to finish watching the show, or reading the book.
hm, i wish i had replied this intelligently the last time you posted this instead of taking it personal...
whoops...
