Random Rambling #1

So I'm bored. Well actually, that's a lie. I just feel like rambling about something. Anyway, I have this weird habit (or two) when playing video games.

In any of the Halo games, I always seem to try and save every single Marine. If a Marine dies on Easy or Normal difficulty, I actually seem to look for their bodies before reverting to a previous checkpoint to save them.... But on Heroic or Legendary, that can't be avoided so I just kill the enemies to avenge their deaths.... This "Save Everyone!" mood seems to be present when I play other games too.

The second habit of mine is when the game gives you a choice of being good or evil (ala Knights of the Old Republic series), I almost always seem to go with a light side character. In KotOR II, I had around 8 light sided characters and 0 dark sided characters. Even in Mass Effect, you are a good guy but you can be a paragon (Questions first, shoot later Eg:*Gun gets pointed at character* Let's calm down and talk about our feelings!) or a renegade (Shoot first, ask later Eg:*Guns gets pointed at character* [Shoot him]). I always seem to go as a paragon too.

Personally, I find this strange. I guess I can't really see myself as a villian. Now that I think of it, I've never really tried playing an evil character by choice... Hmm....

Anyway, now that I've finished ranting for today, I'll post something.


DO WANT!
