Good grief...I'm a monster!

Just played Black and White 2. Great game.

For those of you who play it, you'll know about the Creatures, and how they're so adorable and clever, and yet so stupid and hateable at the same time

My wolf just got back from having his backside handed to him by three remaining archers because he couldn't work out how to hit a certain part of a wall he had largely demolished.

I was so frustrated at his inability to do anything that when he got back home and inside my influence, I dropped a rock on his head repeatedly until he died

His whining, coupled with a hammy death animation, made me instantly regret my decision. If I were any more extrovert, I might have screamed at the heavens (whilst raising my arms) "WHAT HAVE I BECOME!?"

So, in a similar vein, what has frustrated you in games enough that you did something (not nessecarily IN-GAME) you later regretted (i.e. throwing the controller out the window)?

Come to that, what about in-game evil acts that you were forced to commit in the story that you didn't want to do (perhapes executing a favourite character)?

Nah, I always think things through.

In Fallout 3. There's a building near the library, full of traps and has an turret on the top floor. After expertly avoiding all the traps, I nearly got torn apart by that turret. Needless to say, after destroying that thing I killed the person in the room next to it, dismembered her and placed the body parts all over the room. After about 5 minutes of doing this I thought to myself, "What the fuck am I doing?"

It's weird... one of my biggest gaming regrets is not what I did, but what I failed to do. In Dragon Age, I forgot to search the Kokari Wilds for the one missionary's Last Will and Testament treasure box. When I ran into his wife later on and realized I couldn't tell her the news without the box, which was now far beyond my reach, I felt absolutely terrible...

In Dwarf Fortress, my fort was teetering on the edge of destruction. I wasn't getting any migrants. All the work was going slowly because almost everyone in the fort was dead. We were running out of food, and over time the number of corpses only began to increase. So I decided to reassign all the dwarves preforming "optional" tasks and make them do the important work. This meant removing the single doctor from his position. I let all the cripples in the hospital slowly starve to death for the sake of improving efficiency.

Then there were all those times I drafted every civilian in the fort to make a ramshackle militia, and proceeded to send them to a pointless and futile death. All so the other dwarves would have time to wall off whatever section of the fortress was being destroyed by the horror of the moment. Though everytime I did this it was pretty much necessary.

Mass Effect. Some Batarian terrorist was going to blow up 2 people if I didn't let him escape, so I said no, and boom. They died. After I let the terrorist live, I had to talk with the friend of the 2 people. I felt bad.

Let's see that would have to be final choice in Mass Effect as it pertains to Mass Effect 2. To make a long story short I usually chose the 'good' option near the end of ME1, so one night as I was playing I though well what about the other choices? So I loaded a favorite rendition of Shepard chose the grey option. At first I was a bit stunned but was okay with my decision. I load the character into the sequeal and lo and behold when I got back to the Citadel almost every NPC I talked to hated me and responded to me coldly simply because I was human. I also found out the guys I left holding the reins resorting to jackboot tactics to prevent a general uprising of the non-human populace. Sufficed to say I was disturbed enough to stop playing and went back to choose another ending in ME1.

 

[Nieroshai]

Everything in the God of War series. Screwing random women, probably hookers; murdering civilians to get your way; destroying the fabric of the universe to get back at my dad.

Also, a few of the moral choices in Heavy Rain were a little beyond anything I'd ever want to see my avatar doing again.

SPOILER FOR HALO: REACH!

Spoiler

Allowing Jorge (IT'S HOR-HEY DAMNIT!) to die... DAMNIT!

 

[FactualSquirrel]

If I were any more extrovert, I might have screamed at the heavens (whilst raising my arms) "WHAT HAVE I BECOME!?"

I'd like to see a God doing that...

Personally, it was probably in KOtOR;

Spoiler: KOtOR spoilers...

After you find out you're actually Revan(or however it's spelt), and you first meet Bastila when she's evil, I thought I could manage to entice her into joining me as an evil guy as I had been pretty much a bastard throughout the entire thing. I then had to kill half my hard earned team, and, due to realising after the Sith base that I couldn't ever be truly evil, I just put down the game and never touched it again.

Damn, Dwarf Fortress, you scaaaary

I will HAVE to try that game out sooner or later. I just never get around to it

 

[Wolfram23]

Oh Black and White... I think I played the first one. I really like the concept but thought it could have been better implemented. But yeah, I've done that sort of thing...


Also, the more I hear about Dwarf Fortress, the more I feel I need to go play it.

 

[hazabaza1]

A lot of the choices in Alpha Protocol. I was always thinking "I shouldn't have killed him", "he shouldn't have lived" and all that stuff. The game makes you think a lot of the time.

I played Modern Warfare 2 WAY past the reccomended stress levels ¬_¬
Broke my controller off of my floor, frisbee'd my MW2 disc into a wall.
Thankfully after that the curse was lifted
Now it's 3 months later and my stress levels have gone way down.

 

[Cazza]

Blow up Megaton. Felt so bad I restarted. I couldn't load up, that character had already been tainted.
