[McJob]

I like to play a stealth run to avoid having to kill anything.

[Skip]

Very very rarely.

Yes (x2 combo) (infamous 2 spoilers)

This, for example. Primarily the second one, especially since the game makes you actually do it. ;~;

I always get this bloodlust, this sense that I'm in power when I kill in video games. It gives me relief to kill, like in Dishonored how I nearly executed every harmless NPC I came across.

[Rigel]

his name is not important ^

[jarelash]

Pretty much any bethesda game, where I happen to kill good people, either forced to, or by accident.

[AcornCake]

nope, only a few exceptions:
1. i ran over a guys pug in GTA V and i felt bad for about 10 seconds
2. i cant kill any enclave members in fallout 3, thats the reason i stopped playing it

but they're horrible people wtf

I feel bad if I shoot someone and they start screaming in pain

[carolcat]

only if they're robots that are hot

[kanew2000]

the guards in mgs ground zeroes
actually make that pretty much every guard in mgs, they have the mindset of babies

[otto-san]

the only reason i imagine you should is if the characters are in some way developed in such a way that you would see them as anything other than a punching bag

like not even narratively, like the example in the OP, it can just be a simple lil thing that makes you suddenly think "oh, that guy's actually p human i guess"
