Lysandear 10/03/20 1:48:27 PM #2:	No, absolutely not. I'm completely incapable of it in fact. if i try i'll do it for like 1/4 of the game before giving up and going good. to be honest sometimes that strengthens the narrative <cite>Lysandear posted [p:945406702] in Do you pla...

Hexenherz 10/03/20 1:51:25 PM #9:	Usually not, I don't like hurting people, even in video games, as hokey as that sounds. Also usually the writing is just bad. Like in Mass Effect being the good guy meant being pretty chill and thoughtful about things, while being the bad guy meant just going around killing things without any rhyme or reason. Or KOTOR where like right off the bat you can just pull the plug on some retirement home and kill a dozen people but there's no reason to do that. --- FFXIV: Lucius Hexenseele (Brynhildr) \| RS3: UltimaSuende . 99 WC/Fish/Cook/Fletch/Div/Mining/Smithing/Thieving/Crafting/RC https://letterboxd.com/BMovieBro/ <cite>Hexenherz posted [p:945406838] in Do you pla...

cuttin_in_farm 10/03/20 2:36:39 PM #24:	I try to roleplay. Unfortunately, most games dont actually give you a reason for the bad route. Its too plainly obvious youre being a dick to be a dick. The only games I could be a bad person and actually feel warranted are typically RPGs that arent just two options like Elder Scrolls.
