Sleeping Dogs is one of only two games I know of where you can be an Accessory to Cannibalism. The other I am currently LPing on these boards. I am repelled by the idea of Cannibalism, despite a reluctance to mess with the perps. Wei I could handle- maybe. I am not f-ing with Mrs. Chu.

Well, there's always Fallout. And, depending on your viewpoint, Shadowrun Hong Kong.

Never played Fallout or Shadowrun. Maybe I should. Never played Sunless Sea or Tharsis either.

The other game with cannibalism I’ve played is Lost Heir 3, a text CYOA with fantasy elements. You’re headed home on a ship, possibly low on food. If your stats for fishing won’t help, an alternative is “Secretly kill a crew member and feed them to the crew (needs 70 Evil)”. It can be done a lot (ship needs minimum 5 crew, you start with around 20), doesn’t affect the plot, doesn’t give much food, adds Evil each time it’s done. For extra points, there was a bad guy cannibal tribe on the island you left and they killed & ate one of your party members if you got knocked out while on the island and trying to rescue them.

And other than possibly winding up in Hell if you die in the next (final) dungeon and didn’t pay off all your Evil karma with Gold before that, there are no long term consequences.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Then there's Tharsis, which is a small die-roller game where you can eat food to restore the dice pool but food supplies are limited. So if a crew member dies you can feed them to the crew.

Legitimate bad-faith DMCA takedowns do get serious penalties - perjury, namely. It's just that Youtube does not do legitimate DMCA takedowns. Actual DMCA takedowns have a lot of paperwork involved, and if it's found to be in bad faith, the person/corporation filing gets hit with a perjury charge, which is a straight up felony.

Divinity: Original Sin 2 has a pretty extensive cannibalism system. In that game elves can eat body parts to gain some of the memories. But every race can eat that stuff, if they care to. There's a quest where you're supposed to bring a criminals head. The quest giver really freaks out if you casually say "We killed that dude, but one of us ate his head."


DOS2 is a great game!

open world games need to stop doing that thing where they obtrusively badger you to do a thing/go to a place and then when you do what it tells you to shut it up so you can play at your leisure nope it's locked you into a mission you can't go explore. why would you wanna explore in this open world game? that's crazy. you're crazy.

Azure Dreamer- Even worse are the big areas in open world games you can only explore during a mission. The ones that are locked down both before and after. You know what I’m talking about.

People definitively killed by Wei Shen: 13 (total: 332)


Crimes:

4 Counts Reckless Endangerment
6 Counts Felony Hit-and-Run
11 Counts Simple Assault
13 Counts Assault and Battery
3 Counts Manslaughter in the First Degree
2 Counts Possession of an Illegal Firearm
9 Counts Malicious Destruction of Property
1 Count Accessory to Terrible Metal Singing
11 Counts Carjacking
8 Counts Misdemeanor Hit-and-Run
1 Count Tresspassing
1 Count Breaking and Entering
1 Count Petty Larceny
2 Counts Grand Theft Auto
1 Count Grand Theft Motorcycle
9 Counts Murder in the Second Degree

1 Count Levitating Without a Permit
1 Count Assault and Battery of a Police Officer
1 Count Felony Resisting Arrest
1 Count Vehicular Homicide
2 Counts Vandalism
1 Count Vehicular Assault


Nothing too serious this time, relatively speaking. The total sentence works out to 457 Years, 5 months. Wei was positively angelic this time around.

And who's the character?

One of the supporting characters on Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans. Show's leads are a bunch of child soldiers who join the mob to have backing in their conflict with the space cops.

Things do not go well for all concerned.

The individual in question is Takaki Uno, one of the younger and more innocent members of the group. That would be a bad position already, but he makes it worse and worse.

In the first season, he starts a conversation with one of the main pilots, a gruff and taciturn former slave with a heart of gold, about how he's working to put his kid sister through school. He does this while on patrol in a mobile worker, a vehicle with approximately no defenses against being attacked by giant robots.

Needless to say, his mobile worker doesn't last very long. He survives, barely, because the heroes picked up a doctor when making the aforementioned deal with the Jupiter mafia. Once he's recovered, his next major action is piloting the group leader's transport in the finale. The same transport that a more major character died in just a few episodes earlier.

Now, all that's some decent dodging of the odds, but it's the second season that puts him over the edge.

There, he gets focus episodes despite being a bit player, spends several scenes having a happy home life watching out for his little sister, promises a friend who's only known suffering that they're both coming back alive from battle despite mounting fatalities, asks a traitor if he can contact the base while they're alone, blindly trusts a commanding officer who's secretly plotting to get everyone killed, and promises when he rides out that it's going to be the final battle.

Considering the deaths the show managed to pick up by the end, his survival's something of a statistical outlier.

That Chocolate movie looks amazing and I need to find it and watch it. Also, we're fast approaching where this game lost me, and it's summed up in one word: Guns. For a good 60-70% of the game (not counting the standouts like favors where you need to shoot people while riding in a vehicle) this game gets you hooked on its hand-to-hand combat system. It's not particularly amazing but it is amazingly fun, and was a welcome change in the GTA Clone thing that was happening everywhere at the time. But for the last third-ish and most important part of the game, where everything's starting to wrap up? Forget you're a martial artist, you're now a gunslinger, and the gun controls are rear end. You don't really get a sense of it while watching a video and it only really comes up in gameplay, but you have to dial your sensitivity way up to get anything out of the mouse, especially in aim mode. The port is competent but it never really shakes the feeling of a console game, from the UI to the free-aim controls, and it really ruins what is otherwise an enjoyable experience.

They really should have just let the hand-to-hand rule the day for the entirety of the game, rather than just the majority, and it annoyed me to no end when I played through five or six times because the bulk of the game was so enjoyable to me.

Close, yeah. And to be fair to Bobbin, I didn't notice Patreon had stripped out special characters until after I'd made the pledge, which might've helped the pronunciation some.
