    Least in games the good you do is rewarded. In real life the phrases " no good dead goes unpunished" applies more often then it should.

    Fable. The only way to get the best bow in the game is to sacrifice a lot of innocent people.

      Fun fact: 96% of the population have at least normal levels of empathy

      Doesn't really mean a whole bunch if the "normal levels" of empathy are inadequate to create a humane society.

        I do all sorts of evil shit in games. If you can kill it in the game I will. Dogs, cats, Klombo, fuck em.

          I think it’s funny when you do something bad to video game characters.

          I think it's good to be able to empathize with fiction, to naturally resist the choice that hurts people or things, even if it's fake.

          But yes yeeting a fictional child over a building can still be hilarious to watch.

            One of the Bioware devs posted that something like 92% of players were heavily to entirely Paragon despite them putting a lot of effort into Renegade content. People want to care about others, even virtual folks. You get invested.

              Games often present moral choices that are too binary. e.g. kill everyone or save everyone. In that case being evil would naturally be a lot harder because most characters would try to stop you.

              Would be more interesting if the moral question is more ambiguous, or maybe have some moral dilemmas. Like you thought you made a difficult decision but the right one, (perhaps even with many in game characters telling you that you are right), only to find out ultimately you were the bad guy after all.

              Irl the evil choice is usually more, exploit the workers, commit wage theft, be a cop.

                  Yeah, with low-sec camps we'd often give advice if we killed someone that turned out to be new. Though we didn't usually reimburse them.

                  No such leniency in null-sec or wh-space, though. You're either blue or you get killed (& podded) because it has to be assumed that every new account is an alt/scout/spy from the enemy.

                  Yea. The noobs usually only had a ship worth like 5m. So we'd toss em 10 or 15m

                    To this day I can’t make myself do a joja run, despite my dislike of the guy who owns the store in SDV.

                      But as the Rogue Trader, you're the extension of the Emperor's will! So it'll even make more sense 🌚

                        Especially considering we’re entering an era where NPCs / robots are getting more and more human-like. Smh it feels more twisted to mistreat an android or AI-NPC than some vacuum or stickman NPC.
