Video Game Atrocities and Altruism
#17
In Fallout 3, there's some coven of ex-cannibals whose leader has convinced themselves they're actually vampires, and to only drink blood instead of giving into their flesh-eating urges. I killed them all because they were dangerous and mentally ill, and I was roleplaying my guy as a "ends justify the means" type of fellow. I got massive negative karma all over the wasteland (really? In a Mad Max type of world, these motherfuckers sure are judgemental tumblr-types). I hate that game's stupid karma system. IMO it was a morally grey choice, but NOBODY ELSE WOULD HAVE KNOWN ANYWAY. Stupid psychic T-Dog or whatever his name is.

In my first game of Endless Space, I was attacked early on by the Empire guys. They did huge damage to my peaceful Science Greys until I finally brokered a peace treaty.

So I spent the next .... I dunno, hundred turns (years?) recovering and building up an army. I planned to hit hard, and hit fast, with everything. Surprise attack. Just like real combat, you don't play honour, you don't "give them a chance". I broke the peace treaty after a hundred years of peace and hit them with everything, until every one of their worlds was taken. Fuck you, Empire, you threw the first stone!

Then I won a peaceful science victory.
Curious about me and the characters I play? See the 'Staff' page! See also the rosters for my characters Samus Aran or Enel if you'd like to see examples of well-formatted rosters. Hope you enjoy the Omniverse!
