Ivran through Oblivion in sheogorath clothes with a fork.

Don't really think I had any "haunting" decisions. Fair enough theres a few choices I wish I didn't have to make.

Oh wait there is one.... helping Kirrahe in ME1. Pretty much because I didn't help with a few things Thane ended up dying. That has somewhat haunted me.

Fable is a nice example, kill Whisper for 10k gold? Yes please. I hated how she taunted me as a kid. Was even better we I killed Thunder haha.

What? Thane dies no matter what...

The only question is does Kirrahe die also?

Whisper deserved to die >> id have killed her for free dammit

Hmmm id say more so Cataclysm and RogueSurvivor than any "normal" game have that kind of effect on me, at least if its been a long run. Early Cataclysm had my dog becoming a thing monster, had to put him down T_T damn i miss that mutt. Same for roguesurvivor before they introduced insanity, holding out in a basement with a companion, low on food. Had to gun her down and eat her. I had waited till the food was gone, went on scavanging runs and couldnt find supplies...i was starving dammit

Fallout 3: First time I played I was really getting into the campaign. I return to Megaton and go into the bar, at which point I accidently pick up a fork. As this was considered stealing by the townsfolk they proceed to gun me down. Seeing as the game auto-saved when I left the bar, I would respawn in front of the people just to be gunned down again in an ongoing loop. Had to start a whole new campaign because of it.

The stealing system in those games always bugged the hell out of me. Steal a fork from someone's bar? You are hereby sentenced to death. There's no balance between stealing, say, something small and ripping off someone's house. It's just, if you steal, you're getting shot to death.

Then the Elder Scrolls games have a different problem, in that no matter what you steal, apparently every merchant knows that it's stolen. I mean, I think it's a cool idea that you can only sell stolen goods to fences, but it makes no sense that I can't steal a book from one town, fast travel to the opposite end of the map, and sell it there unless I'm doing it with a fence.

Although for that matter, Elder Scrolls had sort of the opposite problem as Fallout, in that any crime you commit, no matter how heinous, means jail time if you surrender, or just paying off the fine if you can afford it. Slaughtered half the population of the Imperial City? Well, throw a few gold coins (I know, more than a "few" ) at the guards and you can whistle a merry tune as you walk out of jail.

I regretted my decision on my "evil" play through of Fallout 3 to blow up Megaton. It was impressive, but I regretted it.

I generally take a path that I find morally acceptable. It's rare that I'll have a game character do something that I wouldn't. Yesterday in Skyrim I helped a Thalmar agent in Skyrim uncover a Talos worshipper. That man was going to get killed. I felt bad about it, even though the gold reward was pretty good.

Spiderman: Web of Shadows. I picked the red costume ending, which ended me up with Mary Jane in the end instead of the Black Cat. I usually prefer redheads over every other kind of girl...but Black Cat is better (sexier) than Mary Jane. Redhead in jeans and a t-shirt or blonde (white) haired girl with full cleavage showing and the tightest leather that shows off her camel toe and lack of panties? Yeah...it's not really a contest here...

It's something you just HAVE to do though.
On my second play through that was right near the top of my "to do" list, although I made sure I did Moira's quests first...
I did feel sorry for Moira though, I liked her.

However I'm playing Skyrim (whatever side I take...) I usually make a point of killing any Thalmor I come across, after a while you don't get a choice as they will attack you on sight...can't imagine why...

Whenever I play a good/bad computer game, the first playthrough I always try to keep my character in the grey area in the middle. Do a little good (rescue a damsel in distress) and then do a little bad to balance it (robbing the poor defenceless damsel). The second playthrough is usually Very EVIL. After that I'll probably do a good character.

I'm already haunted by my decision on the last choice of "Omega".

Game: Batman Arkham Asylum

Choice: Playing the game

Haunting thought: Joker in a Thong....

I knew Joker was a bit off the rails to begin with but holy crap is he onto a whole new level in Arkham Asylum. Also annoying how it killed my FPS at a certain part. Good game so far though.

I was playing L4D2 Hard Rain on expert the finale with my brother. We had to restart many times due to the tank spawing at the end (during when the rescue boat arrives, that makes 3 tanks during the whole finale).

One of my friends join the game. He is a great player and with his help we finally get a lucky break with the last tank when it spawns away from the boat. My brother pushes me to make a rush to the boat (it's 20 meters from the diner roof, but the commons make it really difficult).

Me and and my brother make to the boat but my friend is slightly lagging behind, propably because he was covering for us. I pull the trigger. The boat leaves. I get an achievement.

There could have been many ways for my friend to die. Smoker choking him, commons beating him up, tank throwing a rock... but I know he could have made it safe.

Skyrim - Didn't see Lydia following me. Oh well, she's probably off trying to find a way to follow me as she usually does.
No.
She was dead
She was dead BECAUSE OF ME.
And I didn't save her.
I can never forgive myself. I'm still in mourning.

What really? That one has on several occations almost made me have a seisure. But aye I can see the issue with this

My biggest haunting decsions was at the end of Farcry 2&3, both left me rather in turmoil. Damnit why dose doing the rigth thing have to be so bloody harrowing.

That just happened to me.

I didn't realize she was dead until much later, and I didn't really know where she had died. It haunts me because I had her weilding Dawnbreaker.

I'm fairly sure I sacrificed Lydia to one of the Daedric gods...

I somehow managed to loose shaddowmere, more annoying than haunting cause I know she isn't dead. I have absolutely no idea where to look though, I think it must have been a bug when I tested using arvak.

Jedi Knight. Turning Dark Side. Immediately regretted it the moment it happened. There they are, holding Jan hostage, and rather than joining them to save her life you kill her yourself and then go after them.


The first Otis in Half-Life: Opposing Force. Guy's been with me for a while, and his Deagle is causing all sorts of damage. I reach a part where he can't follow me, so I hit in the head with a pipe-wrench and steal his gun. Why did I use the pipe-wrench? So I wouldn't waste pistol ammo. I felt bad afterwards.

I Fus Ro Dah'd her off a cliff once. To this day, I still could not find where she landed.

I killed Lydia by accident a couple of times. Always reloaded. I will not let her die.

I was always sad I could not save the Nurse in the first Silent Hill game.

Same with the girl/potential love interest in Gun - shocked when she died and how it was done - fitted the story but still a shock.

I try, but last night I caved after having her die 3 times in the boss room of Volskygge. After leaving her there and walking out I was confronted by a Dragon Priest who proceeded to bend me over a few times. She would have died anyway. Now to get promoted to Thane in another hold...

The quest in Skyrim involving the Alikir.

No matter what way I do, I always feel like I did the wrong thing.

I once found lydia in a crumpled heap with 3 ice spikes in her crotch surrounded by dead Falmer. I will never know what happened but all i know is that she did not die well.

Especially funny considering it was at the opposite end of the dungeon level and i was certain Followers could only die by the PC's hand.

This is why I despise NPC's in Skyrim (And generally)
They are constantly running in front of you when you're fighting and you end up slicing them to pieces...

I got sick of friends on that game. I'd sneak round on the game, taking out people with my bow - well, I say take them out...more sort of shoot them as my stupid helper has alerted every man, woman, dog and on one occasion a really fiesty fox to our presence, launched him/herself into a fight they cannot possibly win, and now I have to keep them alive...again.
Lydia died so often and I got so sick of saving her I left her at home.
With myol the lioness. or whatever her name was (I got married). I haven't upgraded my house, so now the pair of them sit in an empty room and stair at the walls while I go and finish quests.

But they pale in comparison to the annoying little basket who follows you when you are arena grand champion on Oblivion. I tried leaving him in silly places. I made him tread water for a week in a pond. In the end, I asked him to wait while we were in oblivion.
And then closed all the gates.

You should have just shot him. Preferably off a cliff with a weapon that has strong knock-back.

I regret serving Namira. ):

But I do it every playthrough. P:

I think we'd get along just fine...
