10 Video Game Heroes With Surprisingly High Bodycounts
8. Delsin Rowe - Infamous: Second Son
Delsin Rowe has the unfortunate fate of being in the wrong place at the right time, yet conveniently suited for the job. Delsin is not only a Conduit, which in the world of Infamous is someone with powers, but he has the ability to absorb the powers from said Conduits.
This leads him on a path of revenge to undo the damage wrought on his hometown, but it doesn't mean you have to slaughter everyone in your path. His attacks are primarily knocking enemies out; on occasion knocking a support tower down on/around them. There's no blood, he's not blowing people's heads off or ripping limbs off with his powers. He's merely incapacitating people.
At least, that seems to be the intent, anyway.
But put into practice, how's Delsin going to avoid the odd blast that knocks an enemy off of something high? Is dropping support towers with people on them going to guarantee their safety?
Sure, you can play as a malevolent force so this would all be moot. But if you're going for good-natured superhero, it seems to throw caution to the wind.
