If what you spend most of your time doing in games was your RL occupation, what would you be doing?

Imagine that whatever you spend most of your time doing in video games is your RL job. What do you do for a living?

I guess I would be in pest control, for example, since these days I am mostly clearing dungeons.

Killing everything in sight or picking a fight with every strong player/NPC around.

Stripping every dead body for valuables. Probably.

If I would be doing in RL, I will be killing everyone getting in front of sight. And search them out for any valuable or consumables. That would be a massacre, really.

Everyone and everything would be dead. I could make that my career, but I don't feel like being forced into hiding for the rest of my life.

In a video game, you play through a fantasy without consequence. Looking at the responses, it's clear that "The Purge" wouldn't work. Not that I'm judging, I'd obviously do the same thing.

Well, your last line sums up everything. 😆

Obviously games are far different than RL, but still you will hardly find many ethical games. Most of the games are based on extreme violence, and too much fighting/gore contents. Obviously, if even a fraction of its part can be dictated in real life, you will get the answers as mentioned in the comments. 😆

I would be hoppity skippin mountain to mountain getting contracts to, oh damn, me too? Yep kill kill kill. But is it wrong to kill bandits? They are people too. I guess if their camp has dangling bodies stuck on pikes, I assume they are open season. I do have standards.

My fellow destroyer buddy. The acts of violence kinda thrills me a lot. I really love taking tangos out with Sniper riffle.

Come to think of it, that's one of the few things I can consistently do across many other games.

I prefer beating/ slashing my enemies to death with swords, daggers and clubs.

Damn!! That's crude and a gruesome way to kill. You must have a strong stomach to stand the process.

Oh! Now I get exactly what you meant. Just like what's evident in The Last Of Us 2.

Well, as I say that's totally subjective to what you like. I personally don't like such close range melee fighting that much. I rather would sit at a distance, and take a Sniper shot. I am more like a gun fighter 😊

The adrenaline rush that comes with being in melee fighting is what's more thrilling about. Looking your enemy in the eye and beating the life out of him.
