Also, to the second dude, might wanna put that second last sentence in spoilers, like so. Just in case.Tr3mbl3Tr3mbl3 said:
OT: Never anything that I 'had' to do, the game always provided a way out (in 'No Russian', for example, you don't actually have to shoot anyone, it just gets kind of boring if you don't).
During a recent playthrough of Army of Two: The 40th Day, I seriously felt the ramifications of my actions. My brother and I were playing through the campaign, taking turns whenever the key moral choices came into play. Toward the later half of the game, you are escorted by a child. He then offers to grab a sniper rifle and help you pick off the terrorists. It was my turn to choose.
I chose to allow him to try and give us some suppressive fire with the said sniper rifle.
As the cutscene commenced, and the child hopped up and down with his claimed prize, I could only look in horror as the child was shot in the chest by a stray bullet, collapsed to the ground, and died. I felt terrible throughout the rest of the game as to what I had done. The big man, Tyson Rios, had caused the death of an innocent child, and it had been all my fault. No other video game has brought out that emotion in me. Not one.

I've used every method. And I'm cringing right now, just so you know. That was just brutal.Phlakes said:
Toward the end of a dark side playthrough of Kotor when
You can force Zaalbar to kill Mission. Awful, awful feelings conjured by that. Trust was betrayed on so many levels. I had to stop playing on that save. I never actually completed a dark side playthough because of that.
Normally in games that give you a good/evil choice I always do the evil one with no hesitation, doesn't bother me. But in Fable 2 when you had to guard the prisoners in the Spire(Think that is what it was called) I ended up breaking down and giving them food for being so pitiful.
I feel bad when I try to be a renegade in Mass Effect. Punching women in the face is kind of against my morals. Besides that, paragon always seems to be way more badass because most of Shepard's dialogue at that point consists of barely concealed threats and intimidation.
Contrary to a bunch of people in this topic, I never felt bad being evil in Fallout 3. I actually had a character that used only melee weapons and spent all of his time enslaving people. If I couldn't enslave them, I beat them to death with my bat.

In the Call of Duty games starting with COD 4, I've never felt comfortable murdering the attack dogs. I love dogs, and the dogs weren't really doing anything wrong, they were just obeying the person who controls their food, it's either kill or starve. Although, I wonder if it's a bad sign that the "No Russian" level of MW2 didn't bother me...
This one time when I was playing Infamous, I walked across what appeared to be a gas puddle, right as someone else was walking by. So I electrocuted her because gas apparently makes electricity explode out of my body.
I know this was unintentional, but I've never felt so bad about something I've done in a video game before.

The Pit can do several unpleasant things to itself, I agree.HontooNoNeko said:
On the topic of Fallout 3 DLC
Why am I helping the Outcasts? I don't like the fact that they GTFO of the BoS because they wanted to preseve tech more than help people
Getting my head opened and sewed shut. Jumping jeebus! That shocked me
Also, I cannot, for the life of me, play anything other than a War Hero/Spacer Full-Paragon Shepard.
Catherine. A lot of the moments in that game, including plot points got me very uncomfortable very quickly.
Heavy Rain. The third and fourth trials. The third, I completed in the quickest way possible on the first playthrough (I played that scene over and over using different tools). The fourth, I just couldn't do it. I still managed to get all the happy endings though 
I've never managed a Renegade playthrough of Mass Effect 2. I'm not sure why, I simply can not manage to do it. I find Renegade Shepard to be a selfish prick at his best and a cold-blooded murderer at his worst.
Shooting that guy in one of Ethan's trials in Heavy Rain. He had children too,but I had to do it for my son. (Sadly,Ethan died in my ending because the sixaxis wanted Madison to get in a police car.)
I felt pretty bad in New Vegas...
The first time I tired to kill Mr. House. He just seemed so defenseless (after I got past his missile launcher armed security robots), and after reading the note in my pip-boy after killing him it was the first time a game ever made me think "I'm a monster...". Also didn't help that I had Bloody Mess, so the end result looks like I hacked up someone's great grandad. So I reloaded an old save and am putting off proceeding any farther with the main quest until I work up the nerve to deal with it.
