So are there any enemies from games that you fell guilty for killing, for whatever reason?

I always feel bad for killing the Mulligans from The Binding of Isaac. They just cower away from me... But I have to kill them to continue. I'm sorry, little guy...

I started playing Skyrim today. Near the beginning there was this bear just laying down snoozing in a cave. I shot it with an arrow then it got up and ran to me to attack so I killed it.

I mourned it hard.

I know he wasn't really an enemy until the end of the game if you played the evil side, but damnit all killing Zeke in Infamous 2 nearly brought a tear to my eye. Just drove me into a dark place for a few minutes as I shocked him until he died. Those who have played the evil side of the game can surely understand.

Rundas from Metroid Prime 3

Ansem (corrupted Riku) from Kingdom Hearts of course this was before I knew he would survive.

Waddle Dee's.

Seriously, all they do is hop around while I devour and kill them with no mercy. Sure, some of them have spears, but thats because they are serving as guards. As for the ones with umbrellas.....it makes me feel worse.


Ponies? Yeah, ponies.

*Spoilers for Deus Ex: Human Revolution follow.*
The psychopathic people in Panchea in Human Revolution. They're just normal people driven to insanity. If I kill them they won't get to feel the relief of being sane again.

I tend to avoid killing the harmless animals that don't attack you in the Metroid Prime games and just let them go on their merry way. I don't exactly mourn if I accidentally shoot one, but I try not to.

Negative Man, from Mother 3. He only had one attack that could possibly damage you, and it did around 1 damage per hit. Most of his other attacks involved him crying or feeling depressed.

This times 1,000. Everything in the entire Kirby franchise is just so God damn cute, it's nearly impossible to kill anything.

Also I just thought of another. You're playing Morrowind, and need to rest to gain some health but there are enemies near by! Oh no! You look around for ages and find nothing... Except a poor helpless Scrib... It must die.

It makes those noises, and doesn't really fight back. It just paralyses you (making the slaughter last longer...) and nips at your ankles...

you could've gone through the whole mission without shooting a civilian. I felt worse for killing all the american soldiers towards the end of the game.

I feel you man, when I was with Zeke on that rooftop I was like "Zeke, why didn't you just joined me?" but Zeke was a good guy so I understand why he didn't, then when the aim reticule came up I knew I had to kill him, and I was like "Sorry Zeke, but this is how the world works." Then I slowly shot him part of me Didn't want Zeke to die and most of me was like "I have to kill him, I have to kill him." and I finally killed him, that part that didn't want Zeke to die was like "ZEKE! NO!!" Then I just shook my feelings for Zeke away and I got the Evil Ending.

Does that make me a heartless jerk?

Click my sig, it says so.

SPOILERS

I can't believe this wasn't mentioned yet. All of the enemies in Metal Gear Solid. I honestly can say I mourned the loss of all of the bosses in that game. All of them had a sad story and were all just in a shitty place. Somehow they all helped you in some way, although trying to kill you at some point. I as totally sentimental towards almost every one of their deaths.


Yea, I farm Anal Penguins. Do something about it.

Very few enemies in games give me guilt for killing them, but one level sticks out more than any other:

In MW2, the "No Russian" mission makes me cringe every time. You're walking into an airport and shooting unarmed people. Even when I watch people play the game, I have to look away.

Once I get to the later point of the game, I'm gonna feel bad killing all those dragons.

Mordin Solus' old student in Mass Effect 2, I can't remember if Shepard, or Mordin shoot him - But it's damn depressing, their race seems so fragile, and Mordin really gives them all character, and then bam we kill one (given you choose the bold Renegade move), and the poor guy just drops.

There are also the little monkey type critters that are on some planets, they seem quite rare for the most part... But you can't help yourself when you see one, they must die. So you shoot them, and then you look at it and see a dead little monkey thing... And you have to kill them on the Krogan planet too!

:(


Yeah, whatever.
