In mass effect 1 where you have to choose between letting Kaidan or Ashley die. I really struggled because I needed Ashley (she's a soldier, good in a scrap) but I persued the relationship with Kaidan (I had a girl char). That decision was the biggest one for me in mass effect.
Then in ME2 when you have to choose which tech specialist to go through the vents in the final act, none of my tech specialists (well, the ones who would survive the trek anyway...) were loyal enough so i had to choose which one to sacrifice... That was a tough decision too

Dragon Age Origins, I couldn't decide between the Elves or the Werewolves. I wanted to side with the wolves cause they are badass but I had quests to turn in with the elves. It was my first play through and I never reload saves in the first go-round, I find it ruins the fun knowing what will happen.
A certain game involving a rage filled man named Kratos. Sacrificing the poor soldier just to get ahead.
My brother cackled the whole way as the dude was saying he had kids. I was like...D: i really dont want to do this....
Yeah, i know, not exactly an enemy, but still. If its an innocent person i have to kill, i feel completely horrible.
Poor, poor pixel people.

Metal Gear Solid is the series that comes to mind. Especially in MGS3 when you talk to Johnny in the prison cell and learn about his wife and kids.
There is a Bit in Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare... where you have to kill like 6 Sasquatches in the woods. Not cool Rockstar... Not cool. What did Sasquatch ever do to you.
Kind of... in persona 4 when you see the pc's inner-selves then have to fight the shadow them, because of the whole chat before that bit, it made me kinda sad about fighting the shadow them's, as I wanted to talk more, not fight (so it's more feeling sad because I was enjoying the conversation, not that I felt sympathy or something) I guess that kinda suits this topic
Hmmm...
I felt kinda bad beating up Algalon, except you don't really kill him, so that doesn't count.
I felt bad killing the good guys that used to be on your side in Ogre Battle 64, except I'm not sure they die, and I still have no idea why the attack me, so fuck em.
The only time I can think of that I felt bad for my enemies was the first Covenant lvl in Halo 2 where you are there to "purge the heretics" because in the end, you would have been good buddies with them... they just wanted out of the religion =/
Usually when I kill something, its hilarious like killing grunts, or blowing the torso off a guy in Borderlands with a well placed sniper shot.
Even when I am killing a "good guy", I either say "fuck you! you're a dick for attacking me!" (ANY FUCKING GUARD IN OBLIVION) or their reasons for attacking me is something stupid.

Holy shit, you actually got a multiplayer game working on Brutal Legend! How did you do it?random_bars said:
OT: I remember a similar situation where I was playing against the cpu on Brutal Legend. I was Drowning Doom (I don't like the side, but damn it I'm good with them) and I was fighting Ironheade when one of the enemy headbangers said "Why are you doing this Ophilia?" Oof, that was quite appropriately depressing.
I played through that zone twice, and when you're supposed to choose between helping the Wizard and helping the Wolves, I chose the Wizard's side once just to see what would happen.nico74 said:
FUCK THAT SHIT. Not only is the fight SOOOO MUCH HARDER, but the guy is a dick about it afterwards!
Choosing the Wolves from now on.
I was going to say 'No', but then I started to think about it... and I did come up with a brief moment of "Why, gods, why?"
And, I swear, this is absolutely true.
Raz, running through the camp, accidentally lit a passing squirrel on fire, and I was heartbroken. "Oh, shit, I didn't mean to do that!"
Only to hear Raz quip, "The little rat deserved it." Or something to that effect, and realized it left behind meaty treats, and it refilled your life ever so slightly. Ad from that point on, all the squirrels were served en flambe for what they did to Dogen.

Huh. That's actually one of the few I embrace. Maybe it's because I was familiar with the New World of Darkness lineup of books before I played the V:TM Bloodlines game, and quickly gained a soft spot for the re-imagining of Hunters, but I really dug the idea of an organization that would attempt to scientifically determine the weaknesses of a monster, and as such, really got into the idea of a monster who understood the implications of this and went out of their way to break shit.MisterShine said:
Then again, I also almost always chose Malkavian or Nosferatu in that game.
Honestly, if you pick either side, instead of the super-saccharine "everybody wins" third option, you made the wrong choice.Torrasque said:
Only when there is a choice involved and the consequence changes the game somehow. I'll spend the rest of the game thinking "what if I did it another way", but that's the advantage games have over real life you can just replay them again and again.
The "Sorry about the blood" would get me, too, but that'd have nothing to do with character design. It's a reference to Per Yngve Ohlin (aka Dead), the singer from the Norwegian black metal band Mayhem. He commit suicide with a shotgun and left a note apologizing for the blood.
On topic, though.. I don't think characters have ever been written well enough for me to care about them. I know the little sisters from Bioshock were supposed to make me care, but I only saved them because the rewards were better.
The only death that I ever cared about was
::SPOILER::
Eli Vance.
And it was scripted.
