RPG Heroes Are Jerks

I have to give him credit for smashing the vases to get the medicine, and finding the legendary wedding dress among the rags. However, he forgot to kill the peasants for xp and you should always check the fireplace for any remaining food.

    There has been a whole game (an RPG) made about this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon:_Remix_RPG_Adventure
    Had funnier jokes too.

    This is why I like Neverwinter Nights 2. Kill peasants and your alignment shifts towards evil chaotic, break into someone's house, you shift towards evil. For a hero, this is bad. For an anti-hero, this is good. And then your alignment affects how different NPCs react to you. It had a lot more potential, but I think they're doing a good job of making the alignment mean something in a video game.
