The only one I could say i kinda felt bad about was siding with Iron Man and the pro-registration side in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 because if I was actually in that situation I would always side with Captain America and gone anti-registration and thats what i did on my first playthrough. The second one where I went pro-reg was decidedly tougher to do
Did you ever do something in a game that bothered you afterwards?

Not really but I do find it annoying when one of the awesome AI gets slaughtered or you find someone who beams confidence and bad assness, like Tai on GOW2. He was only involved in the game for the first couple missions but shit . . . i feel so bad when you find him.
in fallout 3 when you have the choice to enslave bumble from little lamplight,on my evil playthrough i did it and felt horrible i wanted to reload a save and not do it but my autosave got overwritten
Same as. I loved that part though. There was also the part with Nathaniel (religious crazy) and if I went with shooting him then I'd have felt bad.cptn ricardo said:
The extent of my malice in game is generally because I had no other choice at the time. That said, I'm rarely seriously bothered by something I've done afterwords, mainly because I had no other choice at the time.
On the few occasions that I am, there's usually a quest or mission right afterwords that helps with that feeling.

I measure how tired I am if I start feeling sorry for cannon fodder in a game, especially guards in Assassin's Creed. No mercy.
But my gut-wrencher is a mission in Mass Effect. There's some little Indian dude on Citadel who just wants his wife's corpse from Eden Prime back, right? So I go talk to some bureaucrat, and he explains that they're using the body to make better weapons against the Geth and that keeping it would save hundreds of lives by extensions. So I do the logical thing, let em' keep the corpse, then tell the husband.
He just breaks down. He starts screaming and crying and begging. When he's done chewing you out, he just walks off with this dejected look, like he's lost absolutely everything. I did the logical thing, but I still felt horrible. So, naturally, I reloaded and got his wife's body back. I'm such a softy sometimes...

Funny, that.DarkHuntress said:
If you kill the blood mage dude when you meet him (just because you are a fucking ashhole), assuming you already did the Mage's Circle quest, you can invite the mages to help out: both the kid and his mom survive. And the demon is dead. Happy end for everyone.
Except for poor, misguided, fucking retarded Jowan.
For me,it must be all the time I spent totally not shooting Am-fucking-bassador Udina in the head. Because the stupid game wouldn't allow me ):
Exactly the same here. It was even worse for me during his recruitment mission, becauseVegetaPrinceofSaiyans said:
at the end, he was badly injured by the gunship. I now know that even if you choose to sabotage it, it still appears, only weaker, and the outcome is the same, but back then i thought that it was my fault he was injured and disfigured because I was too slow when the renegade prompt came up. Made for a nerve-wracking few minutes when I didn't know whether he'd live.
i only got to play the first couple of hours when a friend visited and brought it with him but what i played i really enjoyed. i felt really guilty when the MSN messages where coming up on the screen. my mate yelling 'how could you? he has a girlfriend, maybe a child for all you know, and you killed him. HOW COULD YOU!' made me feel really bad.bismarck55 said:
Shepard Punching the reporter in Mass Effect. I wanted to see what Shepard was going to do the first time I played, but half an hour later I reloaded my game because I could have been on TV and I didn't want the elevator news headline guy to whine while I'm leaving the room to take a piss and get another beer.
Of course, there's also Megaton. Feeling regret, I reloaded my game, then got the Strength bobblehead. THEN I blew it up.

Planescape: Torment has a whole ton of these. Sacrificing your companions for your own benefit can really hurt, but there are situations where your allies can turn against you as well, just through rather casual dialogue options. You feel like a real bastard after accidently goading a companion NPC into attacking (and inevitably being killed by) you.
