10 Video Game NPCs Nobody Wanted To Kill (But You HAD To)

9. Face McShooty (Borderlands 2)

So, this entry is a bit of an outlier, as this bonkers Borderlands character is thirsting, gagging, and begging to be shot in the face. But it's not a mercy kill like many of the others. No, he just really wants it. Who are you to deny him?  

Face McShooty - an NPC who lives up to his name - is a psycho found in Thousand Cuts. As you encounter him, he screams at you, urging you to take a gun and smack a bullet right into his head. This starts the mission, "Shoot This Guy In The Face," and at that point, it would be morally wrong of you not to.  

You've got to love this guy's pure enthusiasm. He's not hostile or aggressive and is, in fact, rather polite. He has a simple request, and you have the means to achieve it. Once you finally bite the bullet, or more accurately, make him bite the bullet, he'll even let out a "thank you" as he dies.  

It's not often an enemy actually asks you to do this, so be sure to make the most of it.
