10 Video Game NPCs Whose Lives You RUINED

4. Regina - Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Justice For All

For simply unfathomable reasons, every once in a while in the Ace Attorney series you are given the option the be just the absolute worst, most cruel person to someone, for little to no reason.

Perhaps the worst of these comes in the third case you deal with in Justice For All. In uncovering who is actually responsible for the murder of Russell Berry, a circus ringleader, you also uncover the mystery behind yet another accident.

Months before this crime, a young acrobat named Bat was accidentally eaten by a lion, when its airheaded trainer decided to prank Bat by putting pepper on his outfit, leading to the lion sneezing with his head in its mouth.

Naturally, when this is uncovered, Regina - the trainer - is more than a little upset, especially because it's also revealed that Russell's murder was carried out by Bat's brother Acro, and was actually intended to kill her. Terrified for her life, Regina will ask you if you think Acro is genuinely going to come after her after all this.

Despite there being evidence to the contrary, you can literally just tell her he's definitely going to kill her, sending her into a spiral about the fact she's going to die. Traumatising a teenager whose dad has just died isn't exactly a heroic peak.
