The Unbeliever, Oblivion's moral issues Options

[DoomedOne]

So a tiny thing brought up in the main forums are the ideas of moral values.

In The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever by Stephen R. Donaldson the main character chooses not to accept this dream world as reality and therefore finds it okay to rape a young girl.

In the main forum this topic was slashed and flamed in all three threads it made an appearance because people did not understand the idea. It's simple, if you accept a world as fake, whether you realize you're dreaming, or you're in a video game, do the moral laws you would usually uphold yourself to still stand? Would you suddenly find it okay to exercise the most evil, atrocious side of your personality and find it pleasurable, to your character, at least, to murder and mutilate?

This question has a bigger purpose, but first I'd like some people's opinions on where they stand when it comes to morality and video games. If they created a video game where the suffering of your victims looked parallel to if you were performing the act in real life, would you still be able to go through with it?

Ah, I see. Well, that's better than those people who don't even try to use english correctly. You know, the people who would have typed this same response like this:

HA, HA! Oh, and don't bother decoding it, it says more or less the same as above.

Oh yeah, I forgot. I told you you'd get a prize for guessing what happened on my thread. Here, linky. It's a decent site I found with funny personality tests, as well as other jokes and stuff.

My brother threw a temper tantrum the other day because I beat him at Halo 2. Without using "unfair weapons" such as rocket launchers, sniper rifles, or shotguns. No wonder my Xbox is broken, he doesn that every time he loses a game, he throws the controllers and slams his fists on the ground and stuff like that. He loses a lot. Maybe we should get padded controllers.
