Most Cruel Act of Violence You've Commited?

[Hunter Hyena]

Gaming allows us an endlessly complex style of killing, however, some of us go out of our way to be cruel to others in the games. What's your story?

I was playing GTA4 with my friend Chris, who was new to the game. We were in a free roam with a few friends. Using teamwork, we managed to take a semi truck, and were driving slowly down the street, then we spotted an old woman who I can only assume was visiting her granddaughter for her birthday. Chris shot her in the leg. I waited until she started to get up, as she did I slowly started driving after her. She tried to limp away, but I caught up to her and ran her over, parked on top of her, and got out and blew up the semi. Job well done.

Off the top of my head, I managed quite an impressive http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RoaringRampageOfRevenge in Skyrim over the course of the "Mines of Markarth" quest line.

I'll spare you the details (alot of imaginative magic work and some well timed werewolf transformations were involved), but the end result was: nearly the entirety of the Silverblood family, Madanach, Nepos,& the majority of the Forsworn agents/thugs in the city bound into soulgems, enchanted into Pickaxes/Shivs, engraved with profanity ("Lackwit Tamponcluster", that kinda thing) and dumped unceremoniously into the entrance of Cidhna mine.

The Godhead does not like to be fucked with.

That's...serious overkill. Like whoa. And it's kind of amazing.

Cruelest act of violence in a video game... hrmmmnnn....

I once double midair-reflected a soldier in TF2 as a pyro. Not sure if it's on that level of sadism, but man I bet that soldier felt like an ass having all of his rockets spewed back at his face.

Total War, butcher of Paris Edition. A long, hard fought battle that saw eighty percent of a three thousand strong army die taking the square. To celebrate, I exterminated the city and destroyed every building before leaving the burnt out carcass to rot for the rest of the game. The french weren't so strong after that little genocide.

In Fallout 3 I killed Lucas Simms in front of his child and made him watch as I hacked him to pieces and buried him in wasteland junk. Then I nuked Megaton and uppercutted Tenpenny off his tower balcony.

Mine is from Medieval:Total War. It was the complete massacre/conversion of every non-Christian nation in the game.

I was playing Spain and I was starting to amass an emerging empire. I had managed to capture the Aragonian states through marriage-and-murder and I had captured a large portion of the north coast of Africa, as it's a murder corridor, and, aside from a few wars I essentially played the diplomat for the first half of the game, building up my resources.

It was about 1379 and I was more or less the dominant force in Europe- I was rolling in cash from mines and taxes, was one of the most technologically advanced nations, and had a solid military. Then Egypt invaded. They sent about 600 men to match mine. I completely wiped them out, but I was now annoyed. This was the first time that I had been attacked- so it was war. Over the next 2 years or so I managed to amass a huge army with one goal in mind- destroy Egypt. And so once my army was staged, I invaded, sending in about 5000 men, completely crushing any opposition, razing their castle to the ground, and effectively enacting a severe scorched earth policy. I executed every prisoner I took, and I left virtually nothing behind, aside from basic building necessities. Soon enough, I managed to completely crush the Egyptian Empire. Still feeling bloodthirsty- I still had about 3500 men in a single massive army- I turned my eyes to the Byzantine empire and the Turkish Empire. However, I realized that it would probably be best to start to rebuild. So I set up a border guard. About 10 years later, I was now rolling in dough, and the Byzantines managed to break their alliance with the Papacy. So I started the second stage of my war. In one fell move, I sent my military to the Byzantines and the Turks. Both did not take all that long- each only had about 5 provinces and weren't really all that strong. So they were assimilated, and conversion started. Once again, I waited it out, rebuilt, and started my last invasion- that of the Golden Horde. They were huge, they had something like 24 provinces under their control, I scissored them with my two armies. They took a while. In the end, it was 1452 when I finally conquered the last of the Golden Horde provinces. Had I been given about 10 more years, I could have completely eliminated every non-Christian from the game world.

In the end I had something like 8 generals with maximum dread, loyalty and command. It was glorious. Effectively, my empire looked like a U.

In red dead redemption, I shoot people in the stomach just to watch them bleed out while saying various goodbyes to the world. I use the diplomatic immunity cheat among others so I get away with it scott free.

 

[ResonanceSD]

I hit a guy on fire with a frying pan in TF2 once. That was pretty damned cruel, but hilarious.

 

[Nouw]

Oh boy oh boy does Darkness 2 have some cruel acts of violence. Although I suppose they can be justified, they're still damn sadistic and cruel.

Spoiler: Spoilers for the game

Being trapped in an Iron Maiden while being set on fire. Opening up a guy's ribcage and pulling out his beating heart. Being crucified.

In LA Noir, I was on the Vice bit of the game and I spent about 10 minutes repeatedly running over my partner because he was an arse. He never died so all I can think is that for 10 minutes he was in incredible pain. Most fun I actualy had with that game.

I did that too.

That said, for this entry I'd have to say it'd be Fallout New Vegas: igniting every single member of the White Glove society with a flamer before beating them with a dress cane so hard that their bodies came apart. I proceeded to gather all the body parts and pile them in the main room right in front of the entrance before chucking a frag grenade at the pile. Fun times!

Or possibly when I bought the slave family's freedom, making them love and thank me, before shooting them all through the kneecaps. I proceeded to finish them one by one, using a knife and cannibalizing the body before moving on to the next one.

I also used to collect corpses in Oblivion. Besides the various pieces of gore you could get---the decomposed body parts from that invisible ice-troll's stomach, any human hearts/flesh/skin/bone I could come across, I'd also lure people down to my basement in Rosethorn Hall and murder them before stripping them of their clothes to make the pile look nastier. I had pretty much every non-essential Skingrad NPC and countless guards down there at one point.

I like standing at the top of Megaton and sniping everyone.

Not terribly original, but fun all the same.

 

[Wintermoot]

shooting multiple people in the nads across various games I think I also blew up multiple people up to small tiny bits.
PS
I also went a on a rampage in Tenpenny tower in FO3 damn that background music got annoying and there is also Postal 2 where I set people on fire,extinguished them by pissing on them and re-ignited them.

OT: I'm pleasant. The worst I've done was find a guy in Splinter Cell standing next to two wall mines, half a dozen explosive barrels, and no fire extinguishers, and I tossed a grenade. I caught fire from thirty feet away, and the guy's hat landed over a hundred feet the other way.

I once killed and ate the entire list of named NPCs in Fallout 3. Minus the children. I didn't happen to have that mod installed at the time. Took some doing, as you have to work meticulously through the storyline in order to get to feast on a few people.

When I found out about the mod that lets you kill children, Little Lamplight took a few MIRV shots...

I killed every NPC in Skyrim that I could find, including the children this time around.

I spent a weekend playing GTA3 until my killcount was over 1 million. Mostly gang members and cops. Civilians take too long to respawn, so their numbers were quite low.

I nuked both the NCR and Caesar's Legion at the end of Lonesome Road, killing thousands in a nuclear holocaust. This was during my playthrough on Caesar's side, so just tack that on to the laundry list of atrocities I committed in Caesar's name. Oh, and as usual, cannibalism abounded, only this time, I was able to eat Feral Ghouls and Super Mutants as well as the Humans and non-Feral Ghouls.

Pretty sure the cats love it.

In GTA4, I killed Jacob multiple times just so I could go and hear Badman talk again.

 

[RoonMian]

Cruel but justified: I injured a classmate of mine pretty severely when he attacked me with a stiletto and slid open my eyelid. I don't know exactly how I did it because I was blind with blood and tears in my eyes and on self-defense-auto-pilot but somehow I twisted his arm on his back and yanking it back pushing on his shoulderblade. Sounds complicated but I seriously don't know how it happened. I literally just saw red. I ended up breaking or ripping off his collarbone at the sternum. He was in a cast for I think about two months and it was the super uncomfortable kind with his arm extended to the side and propped up against his hip.

Though HE was rid off the cast after two months while I still have the scar on my eyelid. It looks a bit weird because of the constant movement and my face is now a little assymmetrical with my right eye being a little more closed than my left.

Edit: Whoa... Now that's embarassing. I didn't read the posts before me and just assumed it was about real life violence. Sorry for the big off-topic...


On-Topic: Killing all the harmless little bunnies, snakes and turtles in Gothic 3 for the meager 20 XP-points they gave.

 

[Phasmal]

I was pretty much a serial killer in Fable 1.

I'd marry a woman for the dowry then kill her and go get another one and so on.
I think I got through about seven or eight wives...
Tried to do the same thing in the other Fables but the game got wise to me and people started shrieking at me and calling me a murderer.

I tend to get evil in strategy games, I think it's my inner dictator coming out. Take Galactic Civilizations 2 for example where I make the Empire from Star Wars seem like lightweights. Only one deathstar? Tisk tisk amateurs. The trick is to have multiple ones, that way you can more efficiently dispose of your enemies. Just be sure you don't accidentally dispose of them all, you need slave labour to build more weapons of mass destruction after all.

Simple logic really.
