I wanted to see if I could complete Resident Evil 4 hurting no-one at all.
Right at the beginning I realised this would be impossible, seeing as how the axe guy needs killing before you can even get into the rustic village. So I set out to hurt as few people as possible, only causing pain when absolutely necessary for the advancement of the plot. What follows is a breakdown of said necessary hurting:
1 - Leon killed 1 Man-With-Axe
2 - Leon killed 1 Crocodile
3 - Leon killed 1 Ogre
4- 43 - Luis killed 40 villagers in cabin
44- 45 - Leon killed 2 Ski-Lift-Jumpers
46- 48 - Van killed 3 villagers
49 - Leon killed 1 Van-Driver
50 - Leon killed 1 Catapult-Operating-Monk who shoots at bridge
leading to cannon
51 - Leon killed 1 Wolverine
52- 91 - Leon killed 40 monks in long hall, including
sniping-to-protect-Ashley at end
92 - Leon killed 1 Red-Machine-Gun-Monk for key
93- 94 - Rocket-Launcher-Monks killed 2 regular monks
95-101 - Leon killed 7 monks attacking recently un-shackled Ashley
102 - Ashley killed 1 monk who would stop her opening the second gate
103 - Leon killed 1 Fire-Breathing-Dragon-Statue-Monk
104-105 - Leon killed 2 Ashley-Screwing-Monks
106-113 - Leon killed 8 Haunted-Knights
114-115 - Leon killed 2 Shielded-Monks in front of the King and Queen
116 - Catapult-Operating-Monk killed 1 Clock-Tower-Guarding-Monk
117-118 - Leon killed 2 Wolverines
119 - Leon killed 1 Right-Hand-Man
120-121 - Leon killed 2 Lava-Ogres
122-123 - Spiky-Ceiling-Bugs killed 2 themselves by walking into light(?)
124-127 - Minecar killed 4 villagers when they jumped in front of it
128-129 - Leon killed 2 Chainsaw-Wielding-Psychopaths on Minecar
130-147 - Leon killed 18 villagers on Minecar
148-149 - Minecar killed 2 villagers when it plummeted down a bottomless
pit with them on board
150 - Leon killed 1 Salazar Statue
151 - Leon killed 1 Dynamite-Throwing-Monk around lift
152-153 - Leon killed 2 Arrow-Shooting-Monks around lift
154-168 - Leon killed 15 Red-Monks on lift
169 - Leon killed 1 Salazar
170 - Leon killed 1 Machine-Gun-Carrying-Beefy-Soldier at beginning
of island
171-172 - Leon killed 2 Dynamite-Throwing-Door-Blocking-Soldiers
173-175 - Leon killed 3 Arrow-Shooting-Door-Blocking-Soldiers
176 - Leon killed 1 Regenerator for Ashley Key-Card
177 - Leon killed 1 Regenerator guarding door to Wrecking-Ball
178-179 - Leon killed 2 Regenerators following Wrecking-Ball
180-185 - Van killed 6 soldiers
186-187 - Leon killed 2 Van-Drivers
188-218 - Leon killed 31 soldiers during truck escape
219 - Leon killed 1 "It"
220 - Leon killed 1 Krauser
221 - Mike killed 1 Machine-Gun-Operating-Soldier
222-224 - Mike killed 3 soldiers
225 - Leon killed 1 Machine-Gun-Carrying-Beefy-Soldier
226 - Leon killed 1 Shielded-Soldier
227-229 - Leon killed 3 Machine-Gun-Operating-Soldiers
230 - Leon killed 1 Machine-Gun-Carrying-Beefy-Soldier
231-239 - Leon killed 9 soldiers
240 - Leon killed 1 Big-Bad-Boss!
In a normal game I would usually kill around 1050 enemies, so 240 was acceptable, though much higher than I would have liked. In the village area cabin, Luis alone killed 40 innocent victims while I ran back and forth, trying to avoid them at all costs.
In the end, Leon was only responsible for 175 deaths! Luis killed 40, Ashley killed 1 and Mike (helicopter pilot) killed 4. 12 were killed by their fellow Plagas and 8 were suicidal fools.
Maybe less could be hurt, but not right now. I like this game, but I have caned it. Next, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker!
