I'm playing through Metro 2033 at the moment on the hardest difficulty setting available. It's a post-apocalyptic shooter staged in Russia after we nuked the planet to death. I'm having fun with it.
I had come to a section of the game where your buddy gets taken prisoner, and you "decide" that you're going to go save his ass. Between him and you is about twelve or so heavily armed bandits, who on the "hardcore" difficulty setting also happen to be expert marksmen. I took my time observing them for awhile, then I spent the better part of an hour sneaking about, extinguishing torches, using shadows, and painstakingly killing every... single... one. Many throwing knives and several bullets later, they all laid dead, and I was free to approach the next area at my leisure.
What confused me was the cinematic that played when I reached the door. It clearly showed the main character opening the door and hearing voices behind him, then turning to see a bunch of people rushing him-- the bandits I had just so painstakingly killed. All screaming, "Catch him! Stop him!"
You weren't supposed to kill the bandits. You were supposed to sneak around them.
... Blood for the Blood God.
