Have you guys ever felt remorse for the actions you've done in a video game? before I thought this to be a silly thought but after a small encounter with a certain special Uruk in Shadow Of War I actually almost had tears in my eyes.
The story starts with him betraying me, which I scoff at. I decided to shame him all the way down to level 1 for his insubordination, through this process (just before the video) I made him deranged from my multiple shaming, I thought simply with joy that it was funny but the next time I shamed him it was a different story, the noises that came out of him showered tremendous guilt over me when I first heard them, I felt like I've ruined his life, he will never fit in and never have the capability to level up again.
I brushed off these emotions and decided to shame him again, still the same feeling. Pure Guilt.
I decided it was best to just end his life, in this moment I felt the climax of all my guilt wash over me, so I quite the game and went to bed unable to get any relief.
Has anyone ever felt this much for a character in a video game before. I'm surprised to see myself ever feel anything for a simple Uruk but this was a very real experience for me.
I have provided a video of his last moments here
I wish I was joking but this is a seriously how bad I felt and continue to feel about him. Please send help.
