    By nature, a human is, by default, Lawful Evil.
    There is always a way.

    And in regards to this, everyone that did look up her skirt did it for the achievement. I seriously don't think this would've been thought about if it wasn't an achievement.

    Obviously you save right before doing that evil thing and then reload like it never happened.

    It’s the perfect crime.
    Unless you're playing Undertale 😁

    The worst case I came across for being evil to get further into a game was having to massacre new born babies in Dante's Inferno. I thought WTF?! when it became apparent what had to be done. Left a bad taste in the mouth. Rest of the game was good though.

    Isn't that the whole point of video games? Finding new ways to have fun and pissed off other gamers? To me, it depends on the achievements of that particular game. Some games require you to be a pacifist and some games require you to just go out of your mind. Take Fallout 4 for an example, you do a quest for a particular person, then kill and rob the person after they pay you for the quest. There are some games that I played that always requires no killings and that's annoying especially when that person just irritates you and you can't do nothing about it if you want that achievement for that particular playthrough. To be honest, I'm no innocent gamer; I've done my share of damage to gamers and in video games in the Xbox World. I always tell people: I don't take pleasure in a person's pain, but my anger will come down on you like the cold Antarctica rain; if you attack me.

    Are people that write cruel books or make cruel films evil? What about the folks that enjoy those?
    Can ANY relation between "consuming fictional evil" and "being evil in reality" even be claimed/proven?

    If there's an achievement for it, morals go out the window

    The assumption that 77% of global Xbox gamers killed at least one Little Sister in Bioschock 360 is incorrect.

    You only unlock the Little Sister Saviour achievement by beating the game, and only 39% of global Xbox players have done that. So the 77% of gamers who haven't unlocked Little Sister Saviour are a combination of those who completed the game while killing at least one Little Sister and those who didn't finish the game at all, and therefore it can't be said for certain if they did or didn't kill any Sisters.

    I thought this as well. I was thinking, who doesn't finish Bioshock honestly? laugh

    I can't believe so few people haven't played through the Dark Brotherhood questline in Skyrim. Who plays Skyrim without playing through all guild and faction questlines?

    In BioShock, just 27% of global Xbox 360 players with the game managed to unlock the Little Sister Savior achievement, which is awarded for completing the game without harvesting any of the Little Sisters. This means, when presented with the option, 73% of players decided to kill the sweet darlings without mercy
    If I remember correctly, I only killed one accidentally when the button prompts for two different actions overlapped at the worst possible time, costing me the achievement in the process. angry
