Re:Thou shalt not kill... already done (Score 1)

There are two games that come to mind where you, not a fictional character, kill people. The first being Black & White You are a god and are given the ability to either force people to follow you by bringing fire and brimstone down upon them or the more peaceful approach. Remove that which plagues your people, rescue the kidnapped, it made me cringe to hear "deeeathh" whispered throughout the game so much which happens every time one of your followers dies from old age, sickness, hunger, or battle. You are given your own messiah I guess you would call it, my favorite was the cow. It would interact with the world and you would teach it right and wrong. Be it watering crops, chopping down trees, collecting wheat, eating villagers, casting beneficial and detrimental spells, or even pooping things.

The other kind of coerces you into killing people and heroes which would be Dungeon Keeper. You're the dungeon keeper trying to vanquish the incoming heroes. At first you can get by just letting your minions defeat everything themselves, but once you get to the latter maps you do need to use both your minions and your own spells to kill everyone trying to defeat your heart. I know I'm not alone when i say that i got a kick out of slapping some of my lazier minions to work faster and even kill them after slapping them too many times.

Both games have your hand in the game doing everything not some fiction character. Both games and their sequels are highly recommendable imo [=
