Have you ever felt bad about killing a npc?

[Kajin]

I'm the only person I know of that actually likes having the marines in halo around. Almost all of my friends would complain about how we had to babysit them and would normally shoot them as soon as the mission started.

I, however, enjoy their presence and treat them as valued members of my squad. I think this is mostly because of the fact that they have infinite ammo. Whenever I run low on ammo for a weapon that is really powerful I give it to a marine so I don't lose the power of that weapon. I really enjoy giving marines rocket launchers and fuel rod cannons and letting them ride shotgun in my warthog. Makes vehicle sections far easier.

Harold in Fallout 3 v_v

So just me and you felt bad about kill a guy that worked with you in 2 other games that are very good, Fallout and Fallout 2. Harold was around for a few hundred years before you had to do this. Making anyone how ever played the other Fallout games fell like they were losing someone from their gaming past. It was like to me anyhow if you killed clank from ratchet and clank. All he did was help you, want to help and make bad jokes about a goddamn plant in his head. Fuck you BOB/Herbert or what the fuck every you are you kill a great person. Also on the same note of Fallout 3. The baby think at first is stole the baby and then stopped dead in my tracks and said to myself; "Are you that big of a scumbag, Your evil, mean, killed hundreds of people and things. Are you a monster or just not a nice Vault Dweller." Then I ran around for 10 mins talking to myself about should I or not way before I even got to that piece of shit guy that wants to experiment on it.

In Fable: The Lost Chapters when you join the bandits in killing the trader outpost outside of Oakvale and afterwards your bandit comrades surround the last trader, he pleads you to let him live, but you have no real choice in the matter so you subject to peer pressure and slash him. Also in KOTOR you feel like you MUST kill as many NPCs as you can but sometimes I felt "forced" to kill them so I actually did feel a little bad because killing them was not 100% of my intention.

Aside from those two I pretty much don't give a heart about NPCs, that's why I killed countless NPCs In Fable and consumed/ran over/ blew up/shot/eviscerated city passerbys in Prototype.

I really felt bad about killing sherrif Simms in megaton, and it was made even worse by the people in megaton saying
''We know what you did, we all do..''

The Draconis Family in Oblivion, it just felt, wrong.

Yeah, killing the mother when she thought you were helping her get gifts for her family made me feel pretty low.

really?I kinda just shot her with lightning or stabbed or something (I have a habit of making multiple names) and laughed,it was more of a chore to kill them than upsetting.

although I try to keep all unneccesary kills from dying,even if they do nothing.I did feel bad when the argonian in the shivering isles randomly started running away from a group of people trying to kill him,it always ended with lots of dead bodies because they would hit each
other.

worse of all was the fact that I had no idea what was causing it and the only revert was a huge amont of levels away,so I calmed myself after the argonian was the only that died by thinking about the fact that I had done his quest before and the prize was not worth it.

EDIT:I kinda just remembered one required kill I felt bad about.the dark brotherhood quest required me to kill everyone,and I wouldn't of felt bad if it wasn't for this little factiod

Ever since I joined the dark brotherhood I had tried to get the khajiit to like me,going so far as checking with him after every quest and maxing the disposition bar,when given the task of killing them I decided to talk to him for some reason,and he liked me,I mean he wanted to be friends.he was kind to me,called me friend,everything I had wanted,and I had to killed him,so I killed him second to last with the vampire being last.

I did feel kinda bad after that,but I shook it off.

I don't kill NPCs unless it's completely unavoidable for plot reasons.

 

[Biek]

pretty much every one in oblivion that wasn't a hostile npc or wasn't part of a dark brotherhood quest

I remember something in Oblivion that made me feel bad. one of the first things I do when I start a new char is go to the waterfront, wait at the pirate ship for a guard to walk by and then set one foot on the deck. This will make the three pirates on the deck go completely ballistic and attack you. The guard takes care of them singlehandedly, (though I always secretly hope he dies so I can loot his weapons) and their annoying singing is gone for good.

One day however, an innocent npc died in the carnage. I remember standing over the body regretting my irresponsible action...

.. Then I found a nirnroot.

Captain Emmy Malin [http://www.wowwiki.com/Captain_Emmy_Malin]. You have to kill her to stop the Blue Dragonflight from destroying the magic leylines of the planet, only to find out she'd been threatened into working for the Blues through threats on her family's life. She was trying to sabotage them from the inside as well. You even get a letter from her father in the mail later on telling you that he doesn't blame you. I felt like a right bastard

yeah i rememberd thinking what have ive done. thanks a lot for all the guilt you just sent me.

Just the sheriff in megaton of Fallout 3 i felt bad cause he was the only guy who i liked in the game and the only thing that could justify my killing was that i got a sweet hat and coat.

You can get the sweet hat and coat really easily and you don't have to kill him. Though, if you are aware that this is what happens (which I wasn't when I first did it), you are essentially letting him die.

You speak to the guy that wants to blow up Megaton and turn him down, then go tell Simms about it. Simms goes to the bar to confront him and lock him up, but as soon as he turns his back on him the dude shoots the sheriff. You then (if you're a justice type bloke) kill the guy who wanted to blow up the town and can totally freely take the Sheriff's stuff, and nobody has a problem with you.

Win/win.

 

[Disaster Button]

I can't remember her name, but the merchant in Megaton who wants you to research a book for her. Moira I think?

Plus then his son talks to you and that little bastard is annoying.

I remember in Oblivion I was trying to get into the theive's guild and I didn't get tot he thing I had to get to in time. I went to steal it and I ran across some annoying friend of my victim, and I killed her. It was outside and everyone ran over and started to wonder who did it. I felt so bad I went back to my last quicksave.

 

[A Weary Exile]

i felt pretty bad when I blew up Megaton.
but i almost always play the good guy in games, so i don't have that

This and when you harvest the Little Sisters.

I had a tough time with Wrex from Mass Effect. That was one of the better storyline elements in the game. First time through I had to save him, but then I decided to see what would happen if we came to blows and I just felt bad afterwards.

Also, many of the other examples like Dwayne, the Dark Brotherhood... Harold...

I had a hard time with the "Pint-Sized Slasher" bit in Fallout too... does that make me a pussy for not wanting to kill NPC's that exist in a simulation within a game? Is that too sensitive?

Spoiler

There was a pretty tense scene in Saints Row 2 where Carlos is dragged by a truck... while you don't actually choose to kill him your character looks down at him with regret and then puts him out of his misery. I thought that was pretty touching.

 

[randomrob]

i felt bad for killing Malak in KOTOR. I know he was the dark lord of the Sith and wanted to enslave the galaxy and everything but i liked him anyway, he was cool.
