I booped them. I booped them all. They're booped, every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women and the children, too. They're like animals, and I booped them like animals.
Man Prometheus would absolutely fucking love it if he found out about flamethrowers. Man sacrificed himself to give us fire and we honoured it by making things that envelop everything in fire. Truly the best bromance.
I fucking love being the good guy in rpg games. And it's even better when the game rewards you just for being nice and not going around killing shit for xp. Or when being good isn't like...boring.
It's so wholesome seeing the NPCs thank me and stuff and be happy and it makes me smile that I made people's lives better. It may not make much difference and it may only be a single line of dialogue but I feel nice. This is especially true in CRPGs like Baldurs gate 3, Pillars of eternity, Pathfinder WOTR and Divinity Original Sin 2. Like in those games being good is much fun! Of course there are limits like I'm obviously not gonna let a child torturer roam free without breaking atleast 4 of his limbs and asking him if he'll mend his ways. Everyone receives 2 strikes for me, On the 3rd strike, I shall promptly make sure their free trial of life expires.
Like I had such joy being nice in Baldurs gate 3 and Pathfinder WOTR, cuz like in those games being good has like a domino effect where doing good leads to some bad stuff where you have to do good again, and at the end it becomes omega good. Obviously this makes the game more tricky and difficult and may be seen as "tiresome" to some, But I like helping NPCs and seeing them smile.
Moreover whenever I tell this to people, half of them are always like "Being that good and trusting is naive" , "real life is not that good" , "Less xp why not kill them" , "But they are the enemy faction" .... So? This is a fantasy game and my fantasy is to be the biggest good guy to ever good in the history of good guys, I will save everyone and try to help everyone. is it the most logical action? No. Do I care? No. I will help everyone regardless , I will make the game harder for myself, don't care, I'll still be a good guy. I've always wanted to be a Jedi since I was a kid, and so I live like a Jedi.
