I just played Fallout New Vegas for a few hours and I love it to pick out enemies from afar. Though I have a mod installed that keeps severed limbs to a minimum. Not because I'm offended by it, but because it's ridiculous to make a head explode with a 22.
It's not real life and in games I'm as badass as they come.
I just started Fallout NV last week and I am enjoying it. I am not a stickler about violence, I just want to play a game the way I want to. I am not an aggressive person and don't like aggressive games. My favorite games I have played have been all the Splintercell games except for convictions, Hitman series, Elder Scrolls, Final Fantasy and GTA. I like freedom and don't like being pressured to slaughter enemies because that is the only thing you can do.
FYI I finished Splintercell: Blacklist with the most perfect scores so I didn't harm a single soldier or guard except for the mandatory kills. Talk about pacifist
I like violence in games, but weirdly enough if there's an achievement for not killing people and doing things to avoid even being seen, I will always go for them. Like Dishonored, where you could go around and kill everyone and create zombie people, I completed the game without killing anyone or being seen by anyone, just for the skill and satisfaction. I find games much more rewarding when you have to sit back and figure out a pattern, even if the enemies are horrible psychopaths that murder people, I'll still not kill them if there's an achievement for not killing them.
