I felt like a real bastard stealth killing the guards in the airship in 1886. And occassionally I feel a bit of guilt killing someone in The Last of Us, considering the number of people had been reduced enough at that point.

I always feel bad for my character in GTA when the police kill me while I'm going through a psychotic killing spree.

Sometimes. It depends.

Not really.

That's the reason I never played GTA since vice city - if you take out driving down pedestrians and shooting cops there is nothing left of it. I'm definitely more interested in stealth games now where you fight mostly against environment.

Now and then, yeah, there are games where the enemies aren't necessarily evil, they're just on the other side.

I was thinking about this in Borderlands 2. In the first game, I was killing the Crimson Lance left and right. In the second game, a lot of the Crimson Lance are on my side and they're presented as pretty good people. It's a strange vibe, though I'm a different character this time around.

The last time I had remorse (actually I don't think I even killed him) is when I was playing Medal of Honor Frontline, it was in the second to last mission where you are suppose to disable the communication link for the Germans. When you walk into the communication room you hear the soldier giving information to HQ, and before I was about to shoot him in the back of the head, the final part of his message was "and tell my wife that I love her, and that I can't wait to see her again."It was at that moment that I wish I left subtitles off. So all I did was back out of the room slowly, and crawled back in and disabled the communication link without him noticing me. The only time I went out of the way to not kill someone.

It's strange how showing a little humanity can sometimes absolve you from heinous crimes in the eyes of others, huh?

All the time. But then I go home and fuck their wives and I feel better.

No coz more than likely those generic baddies would have killed (or already did kill) my main character or any of my characters at one point or another in the game.
