    I would not call this a spoiler but it is about a specific moment in the game. I will NOT tell you anything about what happens. What i do want to tell you is how this game affected me. The reason I write this post is because right now Heavy Rain had faced me with a choice that "forced" me to pause the game and think and I'm still thinking when I write this. I have had the game on pause for about 20 minutes by now and I'm still not certain of what I want to do. I know I will have remorse the moment I make my choice. It's just a game, right? It's easy, right? Just choose an option and live with it. Goddamnit it Heavy Rain. I can't even remember a game making me react like this before and I have been playing games for mabye 25 years. 
     
    This is downright sadistic but also glorious at the same time. A game has to do something right if it's affects me like this. It has crept under my skin a couple of times already but this time I just went blank and paused, totally lost of what I should do next. It's really really wierd... 
     
    Feel free to talk about times games have affected you in a similar fashion.

    I'm sorry man but f*ck, this game has totally got it's claws in me. 
     
    Wanna hear nice bonus? You can play it with your girlfriend/wife too that's not into games that much! If she's into the whole thriller drama type of movies. It's like being very much involved in a TV series of some kind.

    Yeah I'm easily affected by choices in videogames, this kinda thing has happened to with Dragon Age, Mass Effect 1 and 2, atleast that I can remember 
      
    Maybe it wasn't as serious as what happened to you but still

    Stopped reading after the first sentence in the OP...maybe I'll come back to this thread after I finish the game once.

    @Chaser324: It's not that bad. I promise. I don't spoil anything. I only tell people that there are choices in the game (that's no secret) and one of them is heavely affecting me right now.

    So things are HEAVY in this RAIN
     
     I'm sorry. 
     
    Anyway, choices in games have never really held that true with me. Then again, i haven't played many games which hold these giant choices in them.

    @Dogma: 
    Yeah, I just read your post, and you're right. You really don't give anything away.
     
    As far as your question, I've only played through about half of Dragon Age up to this point, and I've already run into at least two or three big decisions that I had to think about for a while (the thing with the kid in Redcliffe and deciding who to support as the new dwarf leader, which may not be as significant if you didn't start as a dwarf commoner).

    Man, I'm one of those folks who likes to spend some time to think about decisions, whether it's about games or not. Heavy Rain may end up lasting a lot longer for me than other people.
