StaceyPowers Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Do you ever get attached to NPCs that you can’t collect as followers or such, but for some reason you struggle to walk away from them? I.e. cause they are in a bad situation in the game world, and you just sort of feel sorry for them? What’s the most over-the-top thing you did because of it? I couldn’t adopt Sophie in Skyrim on a playthrough, and ended up spelling her name in food in front of my door so I could headcannon that she’d see it and move in while I was away.

Scorpion Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Definitely! In *The Witcher 3*, I felt bad leaving some characters behind. I ended up replaying to save them all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 I feel you. Some NPCs are just so well-written or placed in such tough situations that it’s hard to leave them behind. In Witcher 3, I spent way too long helping random villagers even though I knew their fate wouldn't change. Sophie’s story is heartbreaking - your way of making sure she had a place in your world is oddly sweet." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameOn Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 I became invested in the story of Arcade Gannon in Fallout: New Vegas. I kept him safe during the game and even to save him I had to kill other companions who were with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Button Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 In Dragon Age: Inquisition, I had compassion for the poor orphan, Cole. His loneliness resonated with me. I had to go out of my way just to finish his missions only to see him happy and safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wondered, do you think he would’ve approved of you sacrificing others for him, given his own internal conflicts with morality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lens Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 I feel compassion for the suffering Countess Millona of Skingrad in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Her sad story and her helplessness affected me. I kept visiting her with all sorts of help and tokens due to my desire to enhance her life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
