Is there anything that you will refuse to do in a game?

I'm not a big fan of playing stuff where you've got to be the bad guy in a really silly, cliched, kick-the-dog way, it just seems pointless and childish. I do however love games where you get to play a really psyco good guy, the sort who never hurts a civie, but is horrifically brutal towards the Nazis/chavs/satanists/politicians/whatever.
I find I tend to feel guiltier about killing monsters than I do about killing humans. Monsters might just be following instincts and not know any better, but I know humans are dicks.
I try to avoid feeding off the civies/captives on any of the soul reaver/blood omen games.
I can never play a game where your character is some sort of chav/gangsta, purly because of my intense hatred of the mentality.
I never hand over an innocent (morally) character to a corrupt authority or sell said character into slavery.
I would never buy a game where your character is capable of raping someone, but there is an off chance of exception being made if there was a game where you play some sort of fierce amazon warrior who forces herself on a defeated (male) opponent (as long as that was not the entire focus of the game).
For some reason, I always tried to avoid fighting Morgan the Turtle on Dark Savior if I could.

I don't usually do that either, but not because they're kids - I can't bring myself to hurt innocent characters, whatever their age may be. This obviously means that I never play as an evil character if I have a choice, though I don't mind being evil in games that are about being evil (i.e. Prototype, or the old Dungeon Keepers).Knonsense said:
I did blow the Den's thieving little bastards sky high, though. I was tired of having stuff disappear from my inventory, and exasperation finally had the best of me, so I planted armed explosives in their inventories.
Oh, from the title I thought it was those moments where you drop the controller because the game was too damn annoying.
You know that vehicle section in the Jak and Daxter game where you have to go through those hoops, well after ten attempts or so "to hell with it" I just went to the snow area, activated the yellow eco and got that power cell instead.
But if it's ones where you have pure disgust for it, I'm gonna say
I don't think there's anything wrong with it but I just don't want to see it.

I built fences around the sheep birds, deer etc in age of empires and when i played against my brother that's the first thing he went for he didn't care about anything else he just wanted to kill the poor animals =[ and send mean messages about him killing them.. and people wonder why i went vegetarian 
Hahaha!! I actually agree! I found myself saving doing it then feeling somewhat guilty about bombing a virtual city so reloaded ha!deathstrikesquirrel said:
I find it difficult to play evil characters. Usually just go good... its a curse...
I don't know if I can say I truly follow this tenant. In many games I've tried and failed to kill innocent people - sometimes you just want to see what limits are placed on your freedom. Often in games, killing innocent people has no real impact on your game. I defy someone to play saints row 2 for more than a few minutes without even accidentally harming a random passerby. When I see a car I want to steal, I shoot the driver. Such a death was never decreed by necessity, but rather simple convenience. It's easier to shoot the driver than to chase the car and try to steal it, and thanks to the laughably small penalty for such barbarity I feel there is no reason not to.ElephantGuts said:
But, in some games there is a actually an attempt to make me feel something for those simple animated AI loops. Sure, I might go on a rampage from time to time - this is usually done in such a way that I can readily recover a save. In Fable 2, I murdered the population of Bowerstone because I wanted to see what I'd like like if I was simply oozing evil (not as sweet as the box makes it seem). When I was dissapointed, I reloaded the game and continued on being a lovable hero who could do no wrong in the world.
I could never bring myself to throw a prinny at an enemy in disgea, don't know why it just never seemed like the right thing to do . . . on the other hand, I've never had any qualms destroying entire cities in Rome total war just cause they showed some resistance or were in gaul (there will be no france in my rtw future kingdom). It's not that I don't like the french, well, It's just that I wanted to see how a spot of ethnic cleansing felt.
in bg1 and 2 I could never bring myself to not let Imoen join my group, it felt like I was kicking a puppy. didn't really bother resurrecting her (or any other character) if they died though, never felt it was worth the gold, except Minsc, of course.

Be 100% loyal to my sims partner. All that gibber jabbah and constantly burning dinner is enough to make any sims eye wander. I try though, like okay gonna have a normal family have kids go to work, do a few generations.... Then like 3 hours in all bets are off, and my life is ruined by jealousy and bastard children.
