I'm having the same thing currently in my playthrough of Hogwart's Legacy (the Harry Potter RPG).  I've reached the point in the story where my Fifth Year 16-year-old is learning about the "Unforgiveable Curses" and how quite a number of characters in the game keep saying how horrible a person I am for learning how to cast them and doing so.  Despite me having already spent dozens of hours of gameplay where I'm literally slaughtering hundreds of poachers, dark wizards, goblins, spiders and other monsters-- as one always does in these kinds of games.It's kind of hard to think "Oh yeah, using a brainwashing curse is an unforgiveable sin" right after having murdered so many goddamn people supposedly in "self-defense" because that's what video game RPGs have you do to increase the size and challenge of the game.  It's really kind of silly.  In fact, I had started the game as a student of Ravenclaw, but after a slight amount of time re-rolled as Slytherin as I realized most of my spells in the game were going to be fireballs, explosives, razor slicing, and telekinesis effects that throw enemies across the battlefield.  And I figured if I was going to be expected to use all these things on people in the game, I could at least maintain a slight sense of "roleplay" by going with the school most likely to accept that idea of "kill or be killed" that I was going to experience.</blockquote>
