To this day I can’t make myself do a joja run, despite my dislike of the guy who owns the store in SDV.

One of the Bioware devs posted that something like 92% of players were heavily to entirely Paragon despite them putting a lot of effort into Renegade content. People want to care about others, even virtual folks. You get invested.
I do all sorts of evil shit in games. If you can kill it in the game I will. Dogs, cats, Klombo, fuck em.
I think it’s funny when you do something bad to video game characters.
I think it's good to be able to empathize with fiction, to naturally resist the choice that hurts people or things, even if it's fake.
But yes yeeting a fictional child over a building can still be hilarious to watch.
Especially considering we’re entering an era where NPCs / robots are getting more and more human-like. Smh it feels more twisted to mistreat an android or AI-NPC than some vacuum or stickman NPC.
Me playing Rogue Trader trying to be all holy and emperor loving but holy fuck a lot of those dialogue choices are mean
You can't romance the Sister of Battle, 0/10, literally unplayable
DAMN YOU JAMES WORKSHOP FOR PREVENTING THIS
Her only love is for the Emperor, it makes sense!
But as the Rogue Trader, you're the extension of the Emperor's will! So it'll even make more sense 🌚
That's it, philosophy over; turn out the lights and let's go home, everyone
Which way out of this cave, Plato?
points in a direction your mind can't understand, with the finger seeming to disappear as it bisects into a higher plane
"over there to the left after the bathrooms"
Least in games the good you do is rewarded. In real life the phrases " no good dead goes unpunished" applies more often then it should.
Fable. The only way to get the best bow in the game is to sacrifice a lot of innocent people.
Nah you just gotta do it right. Offer free drugs to the unhoused, watch how they love you
See i feel like id get mugged or some gang kills me for undercutting them
I wouldnt know anything about this, of course, but i think that's silly. Food is more likely to get the gangs on you.
I've never actually had a problem with non-state-supported gangs in california.
lol good point and Another example of getting punished for just feeding others.
Nobody else is gonn give you shit about offering free drugs to the homeless. You don't stop being human when you join a street gang; it's not the police.
What if feeling bad is one of the consequences that no longer exists?
Then that person lacks empathy
Because it's my first run. First run is always the PARAGON OF MORALITY™ run.
I'm only an evil dick who doesn't care about the consequences when I am fully prepared to handle the consequences. And also know where the biggest weapons are.
Undertale leans super hard into this
Yea that is it and I fucking don't really know why it is so, starting to get boring. Just played BG I again as a priest of helm running to everyone's rescue and strongly rejecting very cool evil companions. I think I will do an asshole rerun who hires every drow available. Gorion will not be proud but such is life.
Every time I mention I like Undertale and get "Did YoU bEat Sans?"
No, because I'm not a genocidal monster and I never will be. I did the pacifist route. Game over, nothing else to see here.
Many, probably even most of us, are capable of separating game from reality. Bits don't have feelings.
I tried the genocidal run and can't even pass the fish lady lmao.
To be fair, if he would just spar with people, genocide runs would be cut down by 40%
