Simple question, what is something you just cannot bring yourself to do in video games?

Mine?

Be Evil...

I can't explain it, I always have to be the nice guy... always diplomatic... always looking for the alternative...

I just can't bring myself to let HK47 kill that random person who has done no wrong to me. I can't say, "You know what? Forget you Bionic Cultists, I'm going to eradicate you now."

What about you?

I have to talk with everybody.

Dude I hate doing that. On literally any game, when I pass a place, even when I've already been there, I talk to everybody I see. Sometimes twice.

Drop an item. "What? Drop this white Level 1 Hyperion sniper for an orange Level 21 Jakobs sniper? Never!"

And for the record, the gun store was only 350 Loaders away so I could have easily made it.

I hate using items. Like I'm playing Fire Emblem, I've finished the campaign and still have never used a vulnerary or elixir. Single-use items are the bane of my existence.

Sounds familiar. I usually think that I'm saving them for later, but I'm never going to use them.

I can do *some* evil acts in video games, especially if it means I can unlock certain achievements, unlockables, story paths, etc. But I can't be 100% evil and be a complete A hole while doing so. I've tried once, and it resulted in a pro-capitalist businessman being able to deny poor people food/medicine and insulting Alistair's character, resulting in him going "hey!"

I was like ;-; the whole time.

Recently I've gotten into Borderlands the Pre-Sequel and I found another habit, I tend to kill everything. I don't know why, but I just do. I know you are supposed to do that to progress and such, but this is slightly different. Even when I am in an area with bad guys that are far out of my way and they start shooting at me, I will go all the way back to them and kill everything. I found myself killing a bunch of alien moon bug things for a solid five minutes as opposed to continuing the mission. But that wasn't my fault. They started it. It was all in self defense

Be a class other than warrior or a guy with a sword.

Being a woman.
For some reason I can't see myself creating a female character, when I'm a god **** man.
I've felt this way since I played Pokémon on the good ol' GameBoy Colour

So I got the new Smash and you'd think I'd be playing Smash battles all day long, right?

Nope.

Instead I have to complete every challenge and get every trophy. So I have to get like 600 trophies? My life sucks. :3

I have every challenge except the stupid Boss Battle's Insane completed on Brawl, and I'm missing like 3 stickers (out of 700)

Achievement Hunting, not something you can just ignore

It's hard for me to be bad, as well. I'll start a game like Skyrim or Fallout with the idea that I will play as someone bad..but I'll start to feel guilty of my actions.

Like say a quest is to either save a girl's brother or kill him and steal his key to his home for bonus supplies. I'll begin to think "but then she'd be without her brother, and that is all she has left. I can't do that to her".

The one thing I was always unable to bring myself to do, is buy the sequels of games I like, especially how sequels these days are very abundant and expensive.
