Ouch I forget about Master of Orion, guilty lol. Cities or planets, potato potahto :p

In Might and Magic (not sure which one) you got spells in the end to kill entire zones at once, what civilians...


I've also lured people into guaranteed to crash roller coaster creations in Rollercoaster Tycoon. And picked up unhappy visitors and thrown them in the lake lol. No leaving any bad reviews! Got to get that satisfaction score up.

In Banjo Tooie I murdered a sentient ice cube in cold blood just to get a Jiggy trapped inside.

Felt terrible about it.

First Fallout 3 playthrough, I didn't realise how far the mission would go cause I'd never come across a game before with such consequential choice so even right up until I pressed the button to nuke and seen the explosion I was expecting some good outcome and I'd never been so shocked in a game before but while blowing up Megaton in Fallout 3 was bad enough then ontop, accidentally letting the Ghouls take over Tenpenny tower was a double gut punch. I had no idea what'd happen, no idea they'd kill everyone inside. I've chosen to do worse in games, genocided the entirety of good NPC's in Divinity OS and OS2 before progressing onto new areas, to get some extra EXP but nothing hit me in the gut as much as blowing up Megaton and then STILL thinking I was doing the right thing with the ghouls expecting a good outcome. 

Guilty; I feel like almost every N64 kid did this, along with shooting our team mates and allies in Starfox 64.

I have killed off Ashely in most ways possible in RE4 to try and trigger any death animation I had yet seen.

Objectively, it's using nukes in Civilization and the Alpha Centauri game. In AP it's even worse cause you can sink parts of the maps and create more ocean within the blast radius if I remember correctly.

On a more personal level, Spec Ops: The Line (Spoilers for the game to follow). One of the endings has the MC go crazy after finding a certain revelation in the plot. After an unspecified amount of time passes, he's found by a group of American soldiers and he looks very disheveled and wearing the uniform of a dead man. You can choose to surrender your weapon and go with the soldiers or go full insane and kill 'em all. I admit that I wanted to see the ending (and the trophy) so I went for the insane route.

Felt super dirty afterwards. I think I remember reading that the developers didn't want you to get trophies by choosing certain moral decisions so it might have been a decision by the suits. Regardless, the whole thing taught me a valuable lesson: some trophies aren't worth getting.

In DELTARUNE Chapter 3:

Yeah as a longtime player of Age of Empires I also commited my share of genocides before I finished primary school.

Looking back, it was hilarious that my parents were okay with me putting whole civilizations to the sword, but I wasn't allowed to play say Goldeneye 007 cos it has guns in it.

Releasing some of my Gen 1 Pokemon into the wild, because as a kid I thought that meant just releasing them from your PC. 😢
