...in front of your enemy's child?

[snow]

Kill my enemy, take the child to raise as my own...

I'd make a damn good father...

Isn't that was Darth did in the beginning of Unleashed?

 

[ArcWinter]

Scenario: You've been on a long journey to kill your enemy. If this was a book/movie the audience would be rooting for you to storm into the lair of your enemy and have an epic final showdown. and normally you would. You have your reasons to want this person dead, whatever reason it may be, they may be planning to destroy a city or they have murdered your whole village, or another "justifiable" reason to end this person's life.

However when you burst into where your enemy is, blood stained from all the minor threats in the way, with rock music blaring in the background, you notice your enemy sitting down... with their child. Under normal circumstances you would have engaged your enemy to a fight to the death (or just shoot them in the face) and settle matters, but how would this child affect your next actions? (if at all)

Edit: The child in this scenario is 12 years old.

Well, if he wronged me because he stole my Peanut butter sandwich, than FUCK YES!

But if he happened to kill my parents as a child, well then I might cut him some slack.

Wait, I think I have that backwards...

No, you're correct.

 

[Magnalian]

I challenge them both to a game of checkers. DEADLY CHECKERS.
Or... I don't know. I'll need a nemesis before I can think about stuff like this, give me a week or so and it should be fine.

 

[RagnorakTres]

...
Two words for you.
Ion.
Cannon.
Supercharged hydrogen particles don't stop at a single human.
Much less a child-sized one.
Just sayin'.

As for the moral dilemma...eh. I'll have already murdered a lot of dudes. I'm not gonna get teary eyed over one less asshole in the world.
Besides, twelve year olds are mean.

 

[Jedoro]

One bullet per head, enemy first. I'm not giving the little bastard a chance to get revenge.

 

[C117]

Depends on whether the kid is an asshole or if he's cute.

 

[1gremlyn1]

Kill both of them. I wouldn't want to leave anyone to come and kill me in revege for what i did.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I'd let them both live. Whatever the guy/girl/whatever did to me, there's no way I'm going to stoop to his/her/whatever level.

 

[Tiny116]

One day, that child will seek me out for revenge.

And I will await him.

For the cycle of revenge never ends.

Such is the rule of Chaos.

However I wouldn't walk in, I'd blow up the building...so iwouldn't even be aware the child was there...and No vengful child.

 

[Skuffyshootster]

Kill the Dad, tell the kid to that he may hate me if he wishes and has every right to try and avenge his father one day.

Then we wait for the Sequel.

Ah, a Kill Bill fan!

I have actually never seen that film before.

It's in the last 30 seconds, but you might want to check out the rest of the video, too.

I didn't play Unleashed, but my idea is flawless you must admit...

 

[Adventurer2626]

I'd probably finish off my nemesis in quick order and scoot, hoping the kid wouldn't remember me well enough to recognize me later when they became old enough to give me a run for my money.

 

[Lord George]

Shoot the child and leave the father alive telling him that this was his fault, a far worse punishment leaving him to forever blame himself.

Also I've seen enough films to know the kid would just grow up and kill me later and you know fuck that.

 

[E-mantheseeker]

Well, if he wronged me because he stole my Peanut butter sandwich, than FUCK YES!

But if he happened to kill my parents as a child, well then I might cut him some slack.

Wait, I think I have that backwards...

No you have it straight my friend, Peanut Butter sandwich related crimes are to be avenged with no sympathy. No sympathy.

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

I would be more likely to be a noble type of hero, and would have avoided killing at every opportunity before now. If the bad guy couldn't be brought to justice, I would flee. If I got to him today I can get to him later.

Kill the Father, Kill the Child, then find the Mother >
