Good evening everybody! This is Aifos coming to you alive from a camp out in the middle of nowhere! I was lost out in the wilderness, but this girl here has taken me in, and let me stay at her camp! Say hi to the crowd, Wendy! Wendy: “You’re loud, cheerful, self confident.. But I can see right through you. Deep down, you’re actually afraid. Afraid? Well, I mean I am lost out in the wilderness, so I guess-“ Wendy: “That’s not what I mean. So many people have left you behind, and you’re afraid this place will to. So you act ridiculous. Like a fool. Because it’s better to be laughed at than left behind. But in the end, it changes nothing. You’re just like everyone else. Living life trying to surround yourselves with people—friends, partners, family, but in the end we all wind up alone. Cold, and lifeless, in death’s sweet embrace.” Uh.. Are you.. Okay, Wendy? Wendy: “. . .” . . . Er.. *ahem* So, video games! Whether intentionally or otherwise, a lot of games give us the option of being good or bad. Sometimes it’s very explicit, wuth morality meters that are tied to our actions & choices. Other times it’s more implicit, such as giving us an option to kill a neutral, or good creature, with incentives going either way, or possibly not being there at all. And sometimes, the urge to be evil is a strong one. Reasons vary, maybe there’s a good reward, or it’s the easy way out. Maybe you just want to act out because you can’t in real life. Whatever the reason, I’m sure most of us have had a moment where we’ve come so close to being the bad guy, but resisted the urge in the end. Let’s hear some stories! [b][u]Tl;dr? Here’s my point![/u][/b] Times you’ve nearly gone evil in games. Or times youhave gone evil. I’m not picky. My answer; [spoiler]I was playing Don’t Starve as Wendy. I was in Adventure Mode, and had to venture into a dangerous swamp to retrieve the five Things I needed to get the next level. I knew I wouldn’t be returning for a bit, so I scrounged up some resources. First; I got a group of 6-7 pig men to follow me as backup. Then, I grabbed Chester, a pack mule essentially. With everything ready, me and my squad began our expedition into the swamp. Things were going well at first. The pigs took out the spiders we ran into on the way, and we found two if the Things. But that’s when everything went wrong. We stumbled upon a patch of 4-5 tentacles, all clustered together. My pigs rushed in to kill them. They managed to take a couple down, but not without heavy losses. Knowing we were no match, I began to retreat, but I accidentally stepped onto another tentacle behind me. It smashed through my armor, and nearly killed me, but I managed to narrowly take it down with the help of one of my last two pig men. Unfortunately, he didn’t survive the fight. Me & my last pig man got away, and set up camp. The expedition was a failure. It couldn’t get any worse. If only that were true. A group of spiders had found our camp, and even though I managed to beat them, my last pig had become their food. I couldn’t survive another spider attack, so I retreated, moved my camp far away from their den. I wasn’t quite alone yet, I did still have Chester. He was a small comfort. But, he wasn’t the only one, either.. Abigail. Wendy’s dead twin sister, a powerful ally, summonable via blood sacrifice. With her, I could attack the beehives on the northern border of the swamp, not far from my camp, or even the spiders back in the swamp. Both options would provide great healing. But, the blood sacrifice was a problem. I didn’t habe wood, or an axe, and I couldn’t find any flint, so I couldn’t make more armor, and with my low health running into combat would probably get me killed. But, then I realized. I didn’t have to go into combat to kill. I had Chester. He wouldn’t fight back if I... I placed Abigail’s Flower on the ground, and raised my spiked club above Chester’s head. For the briefest moment of instinct, I thought I could bring her back. I thought I could- But.. No. Looking at him, sleeping next to me. I.. I couldn’t. I couldn’t. I picked Abigail’s Flower back up. I’d find another way. Somehow...[/spoiler] But that’s all for now folks! Jambuhbye!
