      And like I have not heard of a single character in this game that, in the role of a protagonist, I would feel the slightest qualm about unceremoniously mowing down. And I mean that literally. Not. A single. Character.

      Oh, you want me to hesitate? Bitch, the only reason they're not already giving Gaea the crimson kiss is because you programmed a cutscene here. Don't insult me by pretending we're simpatico. If you gave me the breathing room of an old Bioware game this would look real different

      This is why I just can't take "this game is about the horror of violence" seriously You didn't *let me* make the smart, ethical choice, and now you want me to feel guilty about that? No, and also fuck you.

      I kind of agree with @BootlegGirl that the idea that evoking guilt as an emotion means you, the player in the real world, are actually meant to literally feel guilty is silly It's a highly immature idea of what games are about that we can't seem to get past

      Like the weirdos whose reaction to Undertale was to get the Golden Ending and then put the save file on a flash drive so it can never be corrupted That wasn't the point, it really is just a game, if you actually literally feel bad for playing the Genocide ending that's dumb

      I don't know if you're calling me dumb or what, but maybe I should put it like this: if it seems like a game is trying to make me regret a forced choice, I am more likely to regret playing the game at all I identify with the characters I role-play, "dumb" or not

      But that's how the genre of tragedy works There's a whole set of emotional responses that can only happen if the main character of a story does something they regret

      A tragedy can get me, if it rests on a decision i can empathize with even as I acknowledge it's bad. Otherwise, I can admire its construction but I don't really like it or feel it on a deep level. I'm the guy whose first reaction is "why didn't they just...", and I own that.

      Also, my standards for "passive" media and media where I'm supposedly playing a role more actively are different. I never like "your character has no choice but to do the thing" moments in video games or tabletop RPGs

      I don't think this divide is a good or useful thing and I actively enjoy blurring these lines It's certainly possible to become deeply personally invested in a narrative over which you have no illusion of control at all, as millions of sports fans can attest to

      And, contrariwise, having TOTAL control over what happens in a story means there is no story, just a blank page The kind of person who starts a CRPG by using a cheat code to give themselves max numbers in every stat so they never have any chance of failure
