*manlyShep will sever your nuts*

Just the thought of manly Shep taking what little manhood I have compared to him makes me cringe.

I guess I'd say when I was on Illium with Tali and Garrus, and I was trying to go after the gang Samara was after, then this Volus shows up all hyped up on biotics thinking that he's a master wizard, half of me thought "hmm... awesome volus biotic master shooting lightning from his fingertips... THIS I GOTTA SEE!!!" and the other half thought that he was gonna die, but I was feeling optimistic that day and let him charge, but I felt bad since Tali said that we all should have stopped him instead of letting him run off to his doom, But in a cruel way It was funny to watch this tiny little man just unleash his full powah!!! only to have the energy ball be the size of a grape...

I take "evil" choices in video games so rarely that it's hard for me to single one out as making me feel terrible. Don't do it, you won't feel terrible.

That said, there was the SNES game way back when called Soul Blazer. Before the final battle, this princess you resuce early in the game asks if you're human (the answer is "no": the main character is like an angel or something sent to fix the world). There were no other choices in the game (back then everything was linear, of course) so the sudden option stunned me.

I lied.

Now, the answer you give changes nothing. In fact, her next line is exactly the same either way (it's cleverly worded so it applies to both answers). But I knew I'd lied.

Sorry for waxing goddamn nostalgic here. However, this is one of the reasons I take the paragon response RE: Rannoch on the Alarei.

*slowly raises hand* I remember Soul Blazer too Buddha.
I remember.

I feel silly for even remembering it, but it deeply affected me because the whole thing just came out of nowhere.

Edit:  And now I have to go find it for an emulator, I guess.

Oh...there was this one time, in Ace Combat 5, where I had to firebomb a city...



Yeah, turns out I killed civvies.

The only time I'm "evil" is when I can go down that path by killing everyone and everything in sight and loot their corpses and break into their houses and flip the whole thing upside down for valuables.

When it comes to being evil through dialogues, I simply can't do it. I always have second thoughts and doubts about it.

Fable 2 had a option to bring people into a dungeon for human sacrifice for evil points. That was evil.



And in ME2, the closest thing I thought that was "evil" was killing the batarians after you convinced them to leave peacefully in the omega quarantine. Or giving up Mouse as the informant to Kelham after the interrogation.

I love the way Tali looks at you cocking her head, she looks like a king cobra. So damn adorable

[Andaius20]

I regret nothing that can be fixed with a reload.

LOL.  As a long-time vet of RPGs, I don't consider stealing and looting to be particularly evil, unless the game shows negative consequences for the victim.

Also, agree.

Killing, or rather 'harvesting', the Little Sisters in BioShock always left a bad taste in my mouth. I usually don't mind doing evil things in video games, mainly because I can easily disconnect from it (reality vs game).

Did that last night with Tali's trial, I never did see the admirals reaction to not presenting the evidence resulting in exile, so I did. Got the reactions, then reloaded to watch Shepard call the Admiralty board out and get the charges dropped.

Andiaus, you be making it hard for me to get to sleep. Now I'm going through Tali pics to overload my D'AAWWWWW inhibitors.

Or mowing down that crowd of indoctrinated salarians on Virmire.

Oh, man.  That was definitely a line I couldn't cross.  I finished that game literally a week before my daughter was born.

As for the dreath issue, here's my take.

Death for drama is cheap, and in the context of a multipart series where the player makes the choice of who they associate with (in this case LI) feels more like a punishment. Singling out the LI for the sacrificial buddy treatment makes Shep's interest the kiss of death.

This is bad game design.

Consider Virmire. Someone had to die by game design. However, the player could ensure it was not the person more important to them.

True, true...

But I didn't know Ash or Kaidan could die in Virmire. Then I was left with a choice; save Kaidan and a bunch of Salarain STG, or save Ash and the bomb.

I chose Kaidan. Felt miserable continuing ME for awhile since I'll be missing the paramour achievement on my first playthrough. Then ME2 came out, and do I regret losing her? Nope. In fact, now I feel like I made the right choice.

I'M A PROUD TALIMANCER!


speaking of which, the 'paramour' achievement would be very-very easy to get on ME3 with a transfered save

There is a difference between renegade and evil.

Games like ME and Kotor? I always have at LEAST one "evil" character. Someone who is cruel just for ****s and giggles.

However, all of my other characters are written to be deeper than that. My Shepard is a Paragade. Just because he can talk himself out of just about anything or because he wants to unite the galaxy so that everyone is equal doesn't mean he has second thoughts about splattering Fist, or taking out Tarak. You get the picture.

Hell, one of my favorite Shepards is my Renegon Femshep. The reason behind her biotics and why she is the way she is makes renegade choices fun. But that doesn't stop her from hugging Tali, since she knows what it's like to find your dead parents, and she even tries to talk Garrus out of Killing Sidonis, as she's afraid that teaching him to be a do it at all costs Spectre may have turned him into something horrible, like her.

You can really go off and do some fun things with Renegade.
