This is made somewhat worse, however, when you return to the same areas and find the bodies of those same guards.You even get an achievement on one level for saving all the guards and an escaped prisoner. You can't save most of the guards slaughtered by the Joker and his goons in Batman: Arkham Asylum, but everyone you do save thanks you profusely, and the other surviving guards express their gratitude for you just being there.From assisting Myriam in hunting a rare animal at the risk of your own life, to delivering a farming couple's baby, to assisting Norris win Myriam's affections, to rushing to defend the newest resident from her abusive husband, you will grow to love and care for these residents as if they were one of your own friendly neighbours you'd chat with over the fence. Assassin's Creed III has Connor interacting with members of the Homestead in various ways.As you progress through the game, the background chatter of Non Player Characters will include statements like 'things are really getting better' and 'there will be a special throne in Hell for Cesare Borgia when this is all over.'.

Also, destroying the Borgia oppression leads to the revitalization of Rome, and eventually The Renaissance. You can outfit them with kit and send them out on missions. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood allows the player to build up a crew of assassins that you recruit from the oppressed citizenry.

Players have been known to go back and reload a previous save if they miss the prompt for the hug the first time. Later on there's a Quick Time Event that allows you to hug Leonardo da Vinci, who at this point is Ezio's best friend. This includes defending his sister's honor against a philandering boyfriend, doing favors for his sick little brother and his mother, and in general getting across the message that the Auditore are a very close and caring family. Assassin's Creed II uses this to build up the Player Punch, by having you spend the first hour interacting with Ezio's family.The cute dog is killed! You are direly saddened about the death of the cute dog. Failure to achieve this may lead to apathy and even cruelty towards the Sidekick Creature Nuisance with the dumb AI. Games designers might choose to do this to inspire loyalty, discourage Zerg Rush strategies, and get the player emotionally invested in the game, and generally to make gameplay less cerebral and more visceral. Don't underestimate human sentimentality even if the character is 'just' a Companion Cube, their death will often inspire a Player Punch reaction which only gets more intense if the units or Non Player Characters were thanking you on doing a good job. In short, the game presents characters in such a way that you actually try to save the little buggers rather than do the sensible thing and use your Mook Maker or Clown-Car Grave to replace them like the Red Shirt Army that they are.

Chavez because his Final Speech is just too heartbreaking to bear, or Mecha Mook #27 who bravely got the Plot Coupon when all his unit died. Not all games inspire base cruelty in players some games make you feel like a Mama Bear or Papa Wolf to the little AI bots in your virtual world.
