Cruelest thing you had done in a game?

I didn't rescue Zulf in Bastion.

Locking people into rooms in The Sims, filling them with wooden chairs, placing a couple fireplaces, then watching the burning. Once they're all dead, make a new family and shove them in the same place, rinse and repeat.

I did this in middle school when my friend came over, and my dad saw us doing this. So he kicked my friend out of the house and I got in big trouble.

Also, Sims get really emotional around gravestones, even if they don't know the person.

Breaking an AFK players gear using corrosive urns in Dark Souls.

I've slaughtered entire villages as an adventurer in Dwarf Fortress. Right down to the children.

Hmm, let's see...

• Deus Ex:
  • Unleashing the Karkians and Greasels in the MJ 12 facility and directing them to eat the scientists. Might not count as cruel due to Asshole Victim
  • Denying the small child food at the start of the second mission, battering him to death with a crowbar and continuing to batter the corpse until Ludicrous Gibs ensue, or else dumping the body in the river.
  • Other forms of killing said boy, including grenades,a rocket launcher, and an assault rifle aimed at the groin.

• Black And White:
  • Child Sacrifice Farms - creating creches purely to use the children as offerings to the Gods
  • Roleplaying scenarios in which I force family members to make sadistic choices about which other family members should be sacrificed to me. Usually I'll then make the opposite decision, before ultimately killing all of them anyway. If they anger me, I might cast them into the ocean or burn them alive instead. Or their children.
  • Getting the allegiance of villages by burning them to the ground to the point where only a tiny spot on the map actually has any influence
  • Torching half a village, then providing loads of food so they can recover. When villagers are swarming all over the food, I torch that too, along with the people.
  • All of the above when starting out on a GOOD playthrough - idiot villagers never saw me coming!

I must have plenty more...

In my Mass Effect Renegade run, I murdered Wrex on Virmire.

It's been several days and I still feel dirty.

I shot the Experimental MIRV in Megaton.

A bit of an accidental one, but still...

In Watch_Dogs, I was playing a criminal convoy mission, and had set up a roadblock to stop the convoy. I had a barricade of cars lined up, followed by a row of proximity IE Ds, plus another row of cars.

Little did I know, a row of cars doesn't mean jack monkey squat to the AI in the game, and I watched in horror as no less than two firetrucks, a police car, and an ambulance plowed past the barricade and got blown up by the IE Ds.

In terms of cruelty, there was the time when I sniped an enemy with an explosive on him, then, when four of his friends went to investigate, blew up his corpse, killing them.
