I'm doing a perfect pacifist run of Twin Snakes right now.

FUN FACT: Otacon has no peripheral vision. You can watch him pacing by the wall of his lab before rescuing him, and on the radar his vision cone is about a third the size of the Genome Soldiers'. So he must be extremely nearsighted. That Naomi thing in MGS4 makes more sense now, huh?

Also, talking to Nastasha is awesome. I love her and her voice. ♥

And I want the world to know that defeating Raven's tank with just chaff grenades and the M9 is fucking hard, okay. I PUT MYSELF THROUGH SUCH PAIN FOR MY IDEALS. Next I will pacifist run MGS2 again. Then MGS3 for the first time. I never quite do it because the Pain. 8(

M did the Pacifist Tank thing once. It looked VERY frustrating. ;_;

I confess, I think that the lack of a pacifist option in the original MGS1 makes more plot sense. Liquid gets at Snake about enjoying killing people, Snake rides off into the sunset with Meryl, and it's only in later games that he picks up the pacifist option...I think it's part of his character growth. <3 Also, I totally blame Otacon's influence. Him and his weapons for peace.

IT IS. IT REALLY IS. FINICKY FUCKING AIMING.

I agree, yeah. Replaying, I completely forgot what a fucking Rawr I Am Soldier guy he was. Some of his lines are just so weird, I keep going, "WHO ARE YOU, WHERE IS DAVE." It's amazing. And I know, I know, MGS1!Snake probably didn't care too much because he says he has nothing else to live for than battle (so, yes, Otacon does give him something to live for). But I'm a pacifist and will play as such in any game that will let me.

Except MGS3. I always killed the Pain in the fastest way possible. Fucking bees.

I AM TOLD IT IS NOT QUITE AS FINICKY AS TRANQING MGS2!VAMP ON EUROPEAN EXTREME BUT REALLY.

I have a sort of affection for Snake's personality in MGS1, because it's a follow-up on the end of MG2 where he tells Frank 'I'll never end up like you' and tells BB 'I'm not like you! I love life!' MGS1 first exposes it, right from the melancholy briefing scenes at the start, as bullshit, and then makes it real. and aaah fine say Otacon gave him something to live for but Snake and Naomi were both talking about not needing a reason any more.

I've never had a problem tranq-killing The Pain, though I do invariably spend 3/4s of that fight underwater. I have more of a problem with The Fear because I have no reflexes and he keeps managing to sneak a meal in the middle of the battle :/
