Personally since I like to play a thief/assassin type in RPGs and absolutely love stealth games like MGS I'd find the games much more compelling.
No more "You're not supposed to be here!" or "What was that noise?"
Programmed responses would be replaced with actual reasoning, and the gameplay would be built more on deception and actual sneakiness. (Like playing Spy in TF2 for lack of a better example)
Also I wouldn't feel bad about any of it, in the end it doesn't matter after the console is off. Their memories would probably be completely reset by the next reboot, how else would it work?

It would make being either a sadistic bastard or a saint that saves everyone in video games all the more satisfying. One of the first things I'd do though is pop in KOTOR 2 or some other Star Wars and, assuming I didn't have to play as whatever character that game starred, I'd give a scathing "The Reason You Suck" speech to the entire Jedi Order, Sith, and Republic senate, one after another.
Personally though, if we were also capable of controlling our characters Matrix style (without the whole getting killed in real life if you die thing) like they were our own bodies then I'd definitely have a LOT more fun with the sadistic bastard side, especially in a god game.

Reboot was one of the first things in my head when i wrote this thread but wasn't sure if any of the young'uns would remember it. Kick ass show, and my gaming console would have gone out the window if i lost as many times as the user in that did.krazykidd said:
Funnily enough, reading a few articles on the escapist just now, this is something i've wondered what would be like if it were true;
Assuming it was always the same user . I don't think it was given the number of different types of games that were being played and the number of times he lost lol . But think about it , remeber how in the show , the user was always considered the bad guy? I would assume it would be the zame if npcs where sentinent . The would fight tooth and nail to make him lose . Even making and elite group of people to combat the user . They always took up different personas in every game , but they were always the same people .nothingspringstomind said:
Tell them to stop sitting around and go get x number of y their bloody selves. If they don't like it I will politely remind them that as the pc I have access to the magical quick save button and if they don't want to spend the next hour getting repeatedly killed in ever more creative ways they better start being especially nice to me.
Hmm base off my answer I don't think I should be allowed near a Sims game if they become sentient.

If it happened in Fallout New Vegas I would recruit a private army to supplement the NCR. Make all Legion members and raiders fear me. Well basically I would reshape the entire wasteland into a NCR territory with support from my PMC.
Would that make your player character the stupidest one in the world then?
Think about it, if you saw some random idiot running everywhere and smashing every object he finds while muttering something about coins, and occasionally staring off into space for several minutes/hours or spinning around in circles, you'd probably think something was very very wrong with him.
