This makes no sense to me. You're making a limitation. That torture must have a purpose.SinisterGehe said:
Kill them all
Not because I'm evil, I would rate myself neutral to good on the evilness scale, but because nothing drops me out of an immersive experience like a child/woman not dying because of their character, unless it actually has an impact on the rest of the story.

I typically leave people alone unless they start giving me a attitude for no apparent reason with no change of disposition in sight. Other than that, im pretty passive.
I dont give Animals special treatment either, i just kill them when i need too.

Very much depends on the game and the circumstances. Killing just for the sake of it seems pointless really. Unless I'm being Chaotic Evil in Baldur's Gate or something.
Even then I doubt I would do it very often.

Below my nose and just above my upper lip in a sort of wispy moustache fashion.

I don't have any problem killing any on the poll. The only exception from my wrath is when I am playing a game where you aren't supposed to kill innocents, such as playing as a "good" character in Fable or Fallout. I wasn't bothered by killing the dogs in Call of Duty 4 because they would kill me if I didn't kill them, although the snapping of their necks was a little brutal... at first. Also, in Oblivion I don't kill innocent bystanders because I don't need to get a bounty on my and spend my hard earned looting money.
EDIT: I wanted to kill the children in Fallout 3 SO BADLY! Those little bastards in Little Lamplight deserve to be hit with experimental Fatboy that launches 7 or 8 mini nukes!

I feel bad sometimes killing the characters who aren't twats. Mostly, this means Dogmeat from fallout 3. Otherwise, it's a game, if I want to then I will light the world on fire with napalm and clowns.
I can kill cats...Antisigma said:
If there were a game that let me shoot cat after cat after cat after cat (etc.), I would play that....
So much...
I really hate cats.
OT: I dunno. I haven't seen a game that's let you kill children yet. Up til that I'm ok with shooting stuff.
I can kill dogs, rabbits, adorable little birds singing in the woodland, you name it. But not cats. I grew up with cats, I love cats, and I always hated finding them dead in Bioshock. I am trying to imagine what it would be like to relocate to the bottom of the sea and bring your cat with you.No_Remainders said:
I'm kind of weird in that I never actually kill innocents or children, but I love it when games give me the option to.
If I'm on my first playthrough in an open RPG I'll generally play by own morals. If someone deserves then they'll be killed. So yeah, I won't kill innocents. But I always replay as a psychotic murderer for the craic.
That's how I roll. I won't directly attack anyone/anything that isn't a direct threat, or has attacked me (however, they CAN get caught in the crossfire.). But if you point a gun at me, or backstab me, or are directly and willfully impeding my progress towards saving the world...You can put your hands over your head and kiss your little butt goodbye.CM156 said:
I basically play a hero, but I am vindictive as hell. In InFamous, although I went the hero route (Minus ONE choice where I went evil. I'M STILL A HUMAN DAMMIT! NOT A MACHINE OF PURE GOOD!), I often just killed my enemies instead of capturing them alive. If you shoot me, prepare for epic consequences, for I show no mercy to those who want me dead.
What I mean is that torture, for the sake of torturing is wrong. But if torture (in game) is used as a tool to continue the story/plot/game. It must serve a better purpose than just to add gore/violence to the game.TheHardcase said:
You know there is difference -in story telling- between action without a reason and action with a reason. I do not accept use of violence as a tool without meaning, if it serves a purpose I am OK with it. Example, too violent finishers in fighting games are something that I do not really accept.
