I’ve been going through some older rpgs, and I’ve found that the tutorials are both entirely out of character and mind numbing. It’s hard not to envision myself taking my time back by violence. Anyone else do something similar or am I peculiar?

    Considering that violence against npcs who have unskippable text or are veritably annoying is documented everywhere and seemingly laughed at by everyone,* I’d say you’re not the only one. I know I’ve done it. How many memes have been reposted about an npc feeling dread as they watch the player character quicksave?

    Tutorial specific is rare for me. I can’t think of too many tutorials I get annoyed at.

    *Just thinking off the top of my head: mods for children in skyrim, I know I saw videos about the subject in fable, there’s an anime right now (shangri-la frontier) that dedicates a big chunk of the first episode to a character being exultant for the five seconds an annoying npc can be attacked, the memes I mentioned, oh god, the amount of hate patches gets, etc.

      I honestly avoid gaming communities like the plague, so I appreciate you delving into places where I will not tread.
