10 Video Game NPCs Whose Lives You RUINED

In Resident Evil, you can - in the remake - kill Rebecca or Barry in the process of the game. The key difference, however, is that killing Barry serves a purpose, as many speedruns rely on the fact that his death means you can skip the final boss, and obtain his powerful gun to speed your journey.

Killing Rebecca, however, nets you no reward, aside from having caused a little extra havoc in your journeys. It also generally requires you to either immediately leave the room when you find her, or stand stock still waiting for her to meet her slow, unnecessary fate.

It's actively more difficult to try and kill Rebecca than it is to let her live, and so it's legitimately confusing why you would want to off her - and yet many did. It's not even like you get an interesting, tragic cutscene when she goes, as pretty much any death Rebecca can have is, at most, bookended by a quick look at her slumped over body.

In short, while you can purposefully get Rebecca to die, you're probably better off hoping she gets beheaded by a Tyrant - so that way it's not as directly your fault.
