Do you ever feel bad for making certain choices in video games?

fohfoh:
It was for this reason, I was not able to take Fable seriously. Even now, I can't take the premise seriously.

(click to show/hide)Heh. The first time I heard about the "turn the orphanage into a brothel" proposal, I thought... well, y'know. Then I came to my senses and realized "nah, they wouldn't go that far."

...well, I don't think they would. Of course, it -was- Reaver, so maybe in an alternate universe, they did.

Hmm, I did feel irritated with ME1 towards its ending.

(click to show/hide)I guess this is a spoiler. :D. Remember when you had no choice but to kill one character or another? And then, earlier, there was the option to kill Wrex (which made me feel like a xenophobic silly person when I let whoever it was blast him from behind).
Generally, though, games are pretty poorly written (imho), so I never really differentiate between "OMG I JUST KILLED HUNDREDS OF LITTLE ORPHANS" and "Haha, I just turned those guys into a human shishkabob." (But exceptions to this rule exist!)

I'm the type that won't replay a bad route to see all the endings.

One of the earliest games that I played that forced routes was Tactics Ogre.  I just couldn't go with the lawful route, nor couldn't let my sister die, and ended up using game shark to get the items and abilities that I missed.

While it's a game, I don't want it to be unenjoyable.

Recently discussed with a friend on which side we'll be playing on SWTOR.  Going Republic, even knowing that most of the best PVPers will be Sith.  Mainly because it's storyline based with decisions that matter....unlike WoW which has become the same for both sides.

yeah I had the same thing going on me.

Although I have to say I felt like I just killed 3000 nekomimi's by doing so.

I always have problems playing the bad guy in choice RPG games like KOTOR and Fable and the likes.
ME is an exception since I don't feel bad at all, the stakes are too high, the only thing that I never changed, or I had serious problem in that game was skipping on Tali Romance Plot... that was very difficult, luckily I have 3 chars, 1 Soldier (For Ashley) 1 Infiltrator (For Tali since I knew she will be romantic plot character in ME2) and 1 female Soldier (All purpose Renegade/Single/very cute too)

In Kotor the hardest Decision was when i waned to be dark revan was basically you could lead the entire game as a good Jedi, and at the end become a Sith Lord, but playing the game as a Sith Lord entirely was tiresome, but Juhani was a lot of help :)

In Kotor2 it wasn't so easy though, had to reload often before decisions cuz sometimes even selecting the bad choice could end up with Light Force influence :)

At that time being a Male protagonist is a hassle because of that white chick, and the other "sensitive" one that Hunger sent, but winning her over was worth everything :)
