This was mandatory.
I actually get emotionally invested fairly easily in video games. The Lone Wanderer from Fallout 3 was probably the worst, because I didn't feel like I was playing a character. I took everything that happened very personally. I was COMPELLED to be the good guy all the time because it was genuinely upsetting to me when someone made derisive comments towards me. Dogmeat was arguably worse though. Can't even count the number of times I reloaded because Dogmeat died trying to save me from some unseen mirelurk. I loved that little guy. I also got really attached to The Prince in Prince of Persia (2008). It was one of the more well done relationships in a game in my opinion, and having the ability to randomly initiate legitimate chit-chat in the middle of regular gameplay went a long way towards building that feeling. It was rather novel to think "I wonder what Elika's thinking about?" and not only be able to ask her, but get genuine response back instead of just mission hints or something. Still begging for a sequel that will probably never happen.
