A trope most prevalent in RPGs and for the Player Character in video games. There's a character (probably you) who is the one that decides who can join your Men of Sherwood or Ragtag Bunch of Misfits. Then appears a new NPC, who really shouldn't be part of The Team. He could be a saboteur, he's not trained, he... just gave a long spiel to convince you to let him in that gave some Info Dump to help you on your mission. Thanks, new guy, welcome to the team! Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Everything is pointing to not accepting the new guy to the team, the recruiter really shouldn't let them in. But there seems to be no substantial argument to decline their request. Why do they, then? To force you into an informative cut-scene or forced dialogue, that's why! Valuable information or character development is hidden in manufactured conflict — this trope is a situation in which this occurs often. One of the manufactured reasons why a male hero may not want to accept someone is because she was his Childhood Friend Romance and he doesn't want to lead her into danger. Only when she proves that she can fulfil a much-needed service will he (perhaps begrudgingly) let her join — in this instance, it is revealing more detail on the characters and their backgrounds that may be useful later on.

Dragon Quest VIII: The player can reject Jessica from entering the team when she asks if she can join. She then forces herself on the team by stating that they both have the same quest and need each other, and the player finds out that they actually need her to proceed as she raises the number of the team. | |

Final Fantasy VII: Cloud wants to leave Aerith at her house and tries to escape silently out of the house because he is afraid a flower girl will get hurt. However when he gets to the door she is already there to greet him and tells him she will be his guide to sector 7, he realizes he needs her because he does not know the area, and they travel together. | |

Bravely Default: Although Tiz is the Player Character, it isn't his party that people are joining and so in the beginning Agnes is the one making decisions. Tiz wants to join, but Agnes is insistent that her "burden" is none of his concern. Tiz has to reveal to everyone (including the player, who is him) that he lost his city Norende and it will not come back and this is a cause worth fighting for. Tiz makes the case to Agnes that he is important by showing her that she is going to the graveyard and doesn't even know where she is going and finally she realizes she needs him and can't do this on her own. This initiates the group. Agnes says that she doesn't trust Ringabel when he wants to follow Tiz. Ringabel is a hopeless romantic and believes it is his duty to travel with the party. Tiz and Owen push that the party needs more manpower on the quest, and Agnes will only concede if Tiz believes he won't cause trouble, thus revealing more about Tiz' loyalties for the player. Edea states that her conscience spoke, that she had to betray her former empire and she wants to join. She is a Reformed Criminal. Ringabel is infatuated with her, and so says that the party is incomplete without her, but because of this Agnes states that Edea's joining up is "unacceptable", and that a vestal and a sky knight are in opposition — she is a former member of the empire who traveled with their enemy Ominas Crowe. Edea's father is the grand marshal of the Empire. From this dialogue, we learn a lot about the inter-relationships. Still, it takes a lot of deliberation, and so Ringabel reveals a journal that foresees the future (this says that they will all travel together and steal an airship, which eventually causes the change of heart.) |

Lufia & The Fortress of Doom: Lufia, though the title character, is initially denied to join the player on their journey. Her initial dialogue is asking if he's "going somewhere dangerous again", suggesting that they know each other well. When trying to convince the player, as he refuses to take anyone with him, she stops pleading and instead talks about Noodle Incident in jokes ("I'm still mad at you about the pie!"); the way that the hero character responds reveals that this has hit a nerve, and so shows that she was a childhood romance, and equally that he is a caring character. | |
