History Heartwarming / WilliamStrife

* Some find his roleplaying choices and his interactions with characters endearing, particularly in ''New Vegas'' where he's playing a BadassGay and absolutely refuses to mock the GayOption as so many Let's Players would have chosen to, playing the role completely honestly and with no signs of stereotyping.

* After LetsPlay/ZoeyProasheck's cat Ziggy died, Strife immediately posted in support of her to wish her the best.

* During his FalloutNewVegas Let's Play Strife plays a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, squeezing everyone for all the caps they have, while stealing their stuff, including the Followers of the Apocalypse... Except [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold Joanna]] an abused prostitute trapped in a spiral of addiction and violence within the Family.

* Strife is ''very'' Attached to Travelling Companion Veronica, in massive contract to his usual IWorkAlone stance.

** While he still charges them, he also tries not to ''steal'' from the Followers of the Apocalypse.

* Strife and the [[http://youtu.be/z2TBPu-0PkU?t=14m59s Staff of Travelling.]]

** For half of that episode, Will keeps slipping into goofiness, such as turning into a water elemental and impersonating one and, essentially, acting like Parv while [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext hanging from ectoplasm on the ceiling]].

** Strife goes out of the way to give his character [[CharacterDevelopment a developmental arc]], from someone who only disarms a bomb because "the pay was good" to someone who, while still morally grey, rescues orphaned children, almost gets killed multiple times to help create the survival guide, and is willing to perform a HeroicSacrifice for the benefit of mankind. It wasn't necessary (especially as he was ''trying'' to remain neutral) but he did it anyway, and it made an otherwise clinical play-through that bit more meaningful.

* Parv's a definite weak point. When he figures out the reason Will knows so much about [[BlackMagic Blood Magic]] is because he's [[MysteriousPast done it]] ''before'', he talks Strife into teaching him. There's no reason for Will to agree, he's obviously uncomfortable with it, but he agrees because he feels he owes Parv. It's oddly sweet, for a discussion about teaching somebody how to harness magic that literally sucks the blood from your body.

* There are times, when Parv isn't annoying him, that he really [[http://youtu.be/8RdKr8IgwXw?t=10m2s makes Strife laugh...]] and it's ''adorable''.

* In spite of his usual to-the-point gameplay, tere are several very emotive instances of roleplay in Strife's playthroughs, [[http://youtu.be/rj_ykc2VRpg?t=34m13s such as this rather heart-breaking moment from Fallout 3]].
