A phrase said by one character as a subtle warning to another character that their next proposed action is likely to be a big mistake. Trope Codifier is Atticus Finch of To Kill a Mockingbird. It doesn't have to be those exact words. Any question of this type that is a neutral call for confirmation or clarification on the surface, but is loaded with implied danger if the speaker gets the answer wrong, falls under this trope. The speaker is giving whoever is about to make the error a chance to back away from the edge of a precipice before they plummet into the abyss. Being asked this is a red flag that you are dealing with The Trickster. If you're being asked it while under said trickster's wing, that makes the character a Trickster Mentor as well, the kind of mentor who prefers to let their students make their own mistakes and naturally smooth out the rough edges before teaching them the final touches... but they can't help issuing a subtle warning that they know the bold or chronically indecisive are ultimately going to ignore. (It's fun to watch them get flustered over the choice before getting it wrong anyway, after all, and a mentor has to have fun, right?) It's also the favorite disclaimer of the Literal Genie. Of course, this may be used in a serious context later on when used on a villain who is about to dig their own grave, ruin their own plan, or otherwise screw things up for Team Evil. This may also be used as a Call-Back to the original question to the hero under tuition; all the more appropriate if the question comes from the student themselves. After once being played straight, it is sometimes used as a bluff to unnerve an opponent from making a good move. However, it's rarely if ever a bluff the first time, and it's likewise unheard of for someone to take the hint when it's not a bluff. Compare You Can Turn Back and Last Chance to Quit. |

In casual games of Chess it's common for a player to give their opponent a do-over if they're about to make an obvious blunder. They may even explain why it's an obvious blunder from their perspective. This is entirely a social convention as the rules only explicitly prevent you from putting yourself in Check. | |

At the end of ZeroRanger on Green Orange mode, you've just defeated the Big Bad but you are about to die from loss of life support due to a critically-damaged ship, and all life on Daikon was destroyed anyway while you were fighting. Erasure appears to give you one possible hope: You can go back in time to destroy the Lotus Jewel in the past to save humanity, but she also warns you that "you have only one chance", cryptically hinting that if you lose, you will cease to exist (which translates to your game progress being erased). With your continues indicator cracking, she asks you if you wish to take the option, and if you say yes she will ask you if you're really sure. If you say no, she leaves you alone and the game ends at that point without any changes to your game progress. | |

In HoloCure, the Halu (the Indonesian word for "delusional") item is a high-risk high-reward item. Each upgrade spawns more enemies and they become stronger with each level, though it gives one coin per every 5/4/3/2/1 kills. On the fourth level, the game even asks "Are you sure about this?" Going to level 5 has the game warning you "Don't do it." | |

Similar to GURPS, both version of the World of Darkness system have "Common Sense" as a Merit players can take. Taking this allows the Storyteller to give the player a chance to back out of any particularly stupid move. Its usefulness is limited by its rather hefty point cost. | |

In the Lucifer one-shot ''Nirvana", the title character visits the demon Beruchapalimon for leads about the Silk Man's recent attack on himself. The demon assumes Lucifer intends to read his entrails for clues and so has his Mooks attempt to restrain him while he prepares a magical assault. Lucifer says, "A threat display, demon? Have you thought this through?" Beruchapalimon doesn't take the hint and proceeds to cast knives at him out of thin air, only for Lucifer effortlessly to turn the knives on the mooks. "I really was just looking for information," he tells the demon, holding a knife to his throat. | |

In StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, during the Bar Brawl sequence, Tychus is about to tear the jukebox down from the ceiling of the cantina to use as a weapon against Jim. Jim warns him: "Don't do something you're gonna regret." Tychus ignores the warning, pulls down the jukebox, and throws it at Raynor—who dodges, then promptly disables Tychus's suit using the electrical cable the jukebox was plugged into. | |

In Fallout: New Vegas this occurs upon first meeting Benny where a female character with the Black Widow perk can sleep with Benny, but only if the player is willing to confirm the action through around a dozen utterances of this trope by Benny. Some of the dialog gets a bit creepy. It's not a perfect example, though — Benny isn't warning you, he is genuinely confused why you would want to sleep with someone who shot you in the head and left you for dead. If anything it is Benny who should have been more cautious, given that you can take advantage of the opportunity and kill him while he's distracted by sleeping with you. | |

In Dungeons & Dragons, it's generally understood even by novice players that one should take warning when a DM asks "Are you sure?" after you call out your action for that turn. It's code for the DM subtly telling you "I am giving you exactly one chance to rethink this and do something smarter". Should you fail to heed this warning, then one hopes you weren't too attached to your character sheet. There's a disclaimer in 5th Edition Player's Handbook that references this. | |

Baldur's Gate III: There are a few points in the game where picking a specific dialogue option will have other characters question whether you want to continue with your chosen course of action and give you a chance to reconsider, including Lae'zel warning you about badmouthing Vlaakith (which can lead to her casting Wish to kill your entire party immediately, or the Emperor warning you against opposing Gortash's coronation as Archduke (which leads to a difficult battle that may end in Duke Ravengard's death). | |

Near the end of Solo Command, Dr. Edda Gast is offered a new identity and a half million credits in exchange for information regarding certain brainwashing projects that Warlord Zsinj is undertaking. After accepting the deal, she is asked by her liaison (Nawara Ven) whether she wants New Republic credits or Imperial credits. She chooses Imperial credits. After a bit more discussion, Ven gives her one last chance to change her mind and to work directly for the New Republic. She blows it off...and soon after, is arrested on Coruscant for carrying half a million Imperial credits, which, according to law, is such a large amount that it can only be for purposes of sedition. She is promptly arrested and presumably convicted for the crimes she was set up for. Given what Gast had done, she deserved it. | |

In WarGames, David Lightman logs on to the computer Joshua as Stephen Falken, who in his past liked to research war games. Joshua asks "Falken" if he would like to play a game, and David types in: "Love to. How about Global Thermonuclear War?" Joshua replies, "Wouldn't you prefer a nice game of chess?" As we learn later, the real Falken would prefer chess, but David insists on playing Global Thermonuclear War. | |

Far Cry 4 has a rare animal hunting mission for an albino honey badger named Gulo which the locals claim is immortal and undying, but your hunting contact brushes off as baseless superstition. The game prompt itself asks you several times if you're absolutely sure you want to go through with this, ending with "Any last words?" (note that it doesn't do this for any other hunting missions, which include animals like a bear, a tiger, and a rhino). Sure enough, Gulo is a monster that has killed a rhino, a tiger, several wolves, and soldiers, has to be hunted with a submachine gun, and can tear through nearly your entire health bar in one bite. | |

Try and tangle with a Red Dragon in either Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara game and the game asks this of you. Three times in a row, in fact, which is very generous for a quarter-eating arcade game.

In NieR: Automata: after achieving Ending E, you are given the choice to offer aid to another player struggling with the final grueling shoot-em-up segment of the game, the same as the aid you received. In so doing, however, you would have to consent to having your save data erased. You are asked for multiple confirmations, warned of the consequences beforehand including losing access to Chapter Select and Debug Mode until you unlock them again, and the fact that the aid you would send would be received by another player selected at random, maybe even someone you don't particularly like. | |

About midway through the Legacy of the Force series, Lumiya and Alema Rar have temporarily teamed up and at one point enter a discussion about Sith philosophy and history. After a while Alema has connected enough dots together from Lumiya's input that she begins to speculate about the possibility that there are more Sith hiding in the galaxy. Lumiya then asks if she really wants to know if that's true or not (implying that Alema's life would be forfeit once she learned the truth), at which point Alema wisely decides to shut up. | |

In the seventh season finale of Game of Thrones, it looks like the scheming Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish has managed to turn sisters Sansa and Arya Stark against each other by tricking the former into believing the latter is plotting against her. Sansa has Arya brought before her and the other Northern lords and it looks like she's about to put her on trial, and Arya asking "Are you sure you want to do this?" is at first taken as challenging. Then it's soon shown that the one on trial is actually Littlefinger himself (who was Sansa's Evil Mentor), and she was asking the question sincerely; once Sansa agrees to proceed, Arya's only too happy to cut down the man who caused their family's ruin. | |

Played with in the Fate/stay night visual novel. If you get a Bad End, an optional cutscene called "Tiger Dojo" can play afterwards, consisting of a bit where Taiga and Illya comically explain how to avoid the Bad End you just encountered. Before you play the Tiger Dojo cutscene, a prompt asks you if you want to play it, with a message explaining what the Tiger Dojo is and that you can choose to decline if you want to for whatever reason, like if you want to play the game blind or if you are satisfied with your Bad End and want to keep the characters left like that. | |

Arcaea warns you when you attempt to begin the final act of the Final Verdict chapter that you are about to make an "irreversible decision" and gives you the option to either continue on or back away. This is because that portion of the chapter will actually delete Tairitsu from your Partner list as a representation of Hikari killing her, as well as all variants of her that aren't a "Tairitsu and another character" Partner, which instead render her name as a jumbled mess of characters. This was thought to be indeed irreversible until the Silent Answer epilogue was introduced a few days later, which upon its completion will restore Tairitsu to the game, to represent Hikari bringing Tairitsu back. | |

In Open Graves, the protagonist wins a Jumanji-like boardgame that grants you a wish if you complete it. As most of his friends died while playing it, he tells the wish granter that he wishes it were last week, before any of this happened. She tells him that it seems a waste as it'll put him right back where he started and he, being an idiot, insists on going ahead instead of taking a moment to consider this statement. So it's last week. And he, lacking Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory, proceeds to let the exact same sequence of events happen over again. | |

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, in the chapter taking place on the train, Mario has to retrieve a ghost's diary to help its owner pass on. If Mario attempts to read the book, three warnings appear that this is a bad idea. If the player insists on reading the diary, the ghost appears and causes a Non-Standard Game Over. | |

Stellaris: The End of the Cycle will rarely approach you when you have access to the Shroud and offer a laundry list of massive bonuses, which you can have for fifty years "if we will only bring forth the End". The tooltip on the choice to accept is a massive "DO NOT DO THIS" in big red letters. If you accept, then when those fifty years are up, you lose absolutely everything — all your structures, all your ships, and all your planets are destroyed, save for one brand-new colony. Then a massive fleet made of the souls of your race appears in the center of what used to be your empire and starts laying waste to everything, deliberately leaving you for last. And if the galaxy somehow survives this? You don't get to just restart from the ground up, because every surviving empire hates your guts for letting that happen and will go out of their way to destroy what's left of you. | |

GURPS allows players to buy the "Common Sense" advantage for their characters, which basically obligates the game master to ask this very question when they're about to do something that would blatantly violate it. (Though this arguably falls under Useless Useful Non-Combat Abilities since sufficient player savviness — or a kind GM — will provide the exact same benefits for free rather than charge character points for them.) | |

In Nier, Nier can save Kaine from the Black Scrawl by choosing to not just die, but completely erase even the memory of his existence from everyone's minds. This includes all your saved games. The game spells out the consequences and repeatedly asks you to confirm your choice. ver.1.22474487139... does it again during Route E, which does the above choice but in reverse when attempting to restore your save data, and the game warns you in no uncertain terms that doing so will erase your Route E data in the process. | |

Star Wars Legends: Near the end of Solo Command, Dr. Edda Gast is offered a new identity and a half million credits in exchange for information regarding certain brainwashing projects that Warlord Zsinj is undertaking. After accepting the deal, she is asked by her liaison (Nawara Ven) whether she wants New Republic credits or Imperial credits. She chooses Imperial credits. After a bit more discussion, Ven gives her one last chance to change her mind and to work directly for the New Republic. She blows it off...and soon after, is arrested on Coruscant for carrying half a million Imperial credits, which, according to law, is such a large amount that it can only be for purposes of sedition. She is promptly arrested and presumably convicted for the crimes she was set up for. Given what Gast had done, she deserved it. About midway through the Legacy of the Force series, Lumiya and Alema Rar have temporarily teamed up and at one point enter a discussion about Sith philosophy and history. After a while Alema has connected enough dots together from Lumiya's input that she begins to speculate about the possibility that there are more Sith hiding in the galaxy. Lumiya then asks if she really wants to know if that's true or not (implying that Alema's life would be forfeit once she learned the truth), at which point Alema wisely decides to shut up. |

Mushihime-sama and its sequel Mushihimesama Futari display a menacing red warning screen when choosing the Ultra difficulty, asking if you're "ready to battle sheer despair" and giving you a yes/no prompt. (Strangely, this prompt does not appear in Mushihimesama Futari Black Label when choosing God mode, likely due to God being designed to be a little easier.) | |

In Ranger's Apprentice Book 1, Halt uses this twice to teach his apprentice Will to think before acting. In the first case, Will is learning how to shoot a recurve bow (a smaller version of a longbow), and Halt asks him if he wants to go ahead and shoot right off the bat. Will, being an eager 15-year-old, pulls back the string, fires... and yells in pain when the heavy bowstring smacks into his unprotected arm. Later, Halt asks the same question before Will climbs atop his new horse. Will goes right ahead... and learns that Ranger horses are trained to buck off any rider who doesn't say the code word, in order to keep them from being stolen. In a funny turn of events, Will ends up on the other end of this eleven books later when training his own apprentice, who's just as eager and reckless as he was. It's implied that this happens to most Rangers, and is their version of a Running Gag. |
