Do you try to save Video Game NPCs?
When you are playing a game and you have NPC allies, do you try to keep them alive?
I myself have always tried my best to help them/protect them. I've even gone so far as to revert to previous checkpoints to save them.
How about you?
Discuss.

If it's Skyrim's Serana, then I guard her with all my life. Anything else is a meh -

Always. I even give them the best weapons. Here’s me and my Halo posse on a typical stroll: https://gamerdvr.com/gamer/pvalue2010/video/a1f346a2-bdcb-4903-b3e9-062bab6e67c7/dd0957c4-a13f-4c51-8c32-237daca5b3340

Aside from Captain Keyes, I usually very much want to save NPCs.

Edited by Twin Inferno: 5/15/2022 2:29:35 PMI killed the father in castle mourne in Elden ring after I delivered his daughter’s letter and returned to find her dead while he was weeping near her corpse… I tried to inspect body but nothing worked and i tbh thought he went nuts and killed her so I ended him. My brother told me the bird goblins killed her and he swore to fight till he died, I just missed the dialogue. I got an Ax and felt awful… I ended up going back to the castle to kill every creature. I also did the same thing with that black knight in Demon souls in the Prison of hope (second checkpoint) I got some sick armor but I felt [b]AWFUL[/b] I think I’m going to hell now…

The fact the Devil ending with Goro was the only hidden path in the game made me anniyed and that was the only time I save scummed to save him.

It depends on the NPC and/or the circumstance.

2 RepliesThe invincible NPCs in shooter campaigns I just shoot. But in FromSoft games I keep them alive cause they have some sort of impact on the game in the long run. Actually, no, I plan to kill some on a separate run.

Edited by Tilman G: 5/13/2022 6:29:27 PMI try my best, but generally I view a lot of deaths as inevitable. Once in halo 2, Legendary on High charity. A marine somehow survived through three quarters of the level without my assistance. I decided that he gets to survive the rest of the level and started to revert checkpoints, giving him my best weapons, etc.

Depends on the NPC, I may try and save them, or end them on the spot (looking at you Lautrec)
-
I like to keep character relationships intact. Plus if you kill generally anyone who ain’t an enemy in a Bethesda game, you’ve rendered the story useless…
-
depends on the npc for example i just slaughtered the son of the count of one of the cities when i was supposed to rescue him from an oblivion gate because he was annoying me
-
No one has to die. Those poisoned people may not have counted to Dishonoured's no kill run but I see it as they died because of me.
-
I won’t usually revert an old save, but I’ll generally try my best to keep them alive.
-
Only if there is a benefit or achievement in doing so.
-
Depends on what I get out of the deal
-
No, I let the game decide their fate!
-
Depends on whether or not I know or like them. If not, meh...If so, I'd go to lengths to save them. I'm that weirdo in Skyrim who's a wanted convict on the run and a vampire but always gives a penny to the old homeless guy every time I'm in Riften.

Edited by One Shot Ted: 5/12/2022 12:38:15 AMIt depends on if said NPC is an -blam!-hole.
-
Only in games like Halo, where they seem like they would die if you breathe wrong (or swerve a warthog too hard). Otherwise, they may all burn for all Panzer cares.
-
100% will revert
-
Depends how useful they are. If I don’t need them or they just get annoying then I will go out of my way to let them die. But if they can tank stuff while I hide and heal myself then I’ll save them as much as possible and kit them out with all the best items if I can.

feel bad if i didnt
