A matter of choice...

And I never mentioned he was an old man, Mags. He could be a young teen.

In my head hes older than dirt;)

Honestly,i bet everyone is guessing the dude is old.He was referred to as "man"..the teen girl,being called girl,makes me assume hes must be old.

Well, he could be 25 or 30. Even 35. That doesnt make him old.

Interesting replies. What Dante said isnt too implausible either. Adrenalin does tend to make you do funny things when your brain's gone into blind mode.

And the assailants having weapons is debatable. If they had any, they would be holding it or using it. Its what any normal attacker would do.

Ferox has a point about attacking one of the two rapists from behind and taking him by surprise. One good, solid blow to the legs would be enough to make him go down howling, rather than bashing him in the head and be more chancy of him dying on you. Then it will be 1 on 1, and the odds get even better.

You can basically save one of them. The time it takes in-between wont let you go to the aid of the other, and let's face it, by the time you are finished with one group, the other would have done their job already.

Ergo, the choice.

If you can see them both, it stands to reason that you could help the guy first, and the chick wouldn't be in any immediate danger of imminent death...
I think anything you COULD do that might effect the outcome would make you the target though.
If you had a gun, you could fire it in the air?
Just make a commotion, or like attack with a baseball bat....if you don't mind the danger...they'll stop if they think they could get brained. I wouldn't personally care if someone died. Scum deserves to be taken out. If I were to actually throw myself into attack, I'd expect it would be likely ending for me if I didn't end them. Though with each fuck-someone-up or kill, I think the rest would be less likely to approach you.
It's not like you'd stick around after.
Of course, it would never happen...as much as I'd like to, I'm not usually carrying weapons.
Taking them at distance with arrows would be cool though.

You take one step to help him, BUT...

At the same moment...

Across the street...

A young girl, probably 16-17 years old, has been overpowered by two nasty-looking men after getting a severe beating for trying to fight them off and for her resistance. One of whom has thrown her down and is in the process of ripping her clothes off. She is facing certain rape, and a very violent one at that. And she might not survive it.

Assuming that you are the only person, besides those listed above, in the entire area...

Who do you save?

I would pull out my Glock and shoot a few, I imagine the rest would run after seeing their punk buddies laying mortally wounded in the street. If not, I have enough bullets for the rest of them.

I'd just walk into the nearest bar and start reassessing my life, ask myself why the hell am I in this town?

Here, i'll make this the easiest game in the world.


The man being beat up was omcdave, and the girl is Murderdoll.


Go.
