So in Half Life 2, in the Nova Prospekt Mission, I got hold of these automated turrets to defend the area. So when I had finished up with that area, I grabbd one and took it with me through the rest of the level, meaning I had an extra turret to use in an encounter. I grew pretty fond of that turret, even naming it (Its Trent btw). When I lost it at the end of the level, I was genuinely sad.
After finishing the game today, I realised something. I let my allies die without a care, even though there had been a lot of work done to make them seem individual, id walk around messing with peoples furniture during important scenes, not even bothering to remember who they were, and yet, I cared about a mass produced piece of machinery that mostly tries to kill me.
So, have you ever actually cared for an object or characterless npc, simply because of the personality you assinged to them?
