But I am not saying that we cannot beat the hell out of him. That is a given. We are playing as the protagonist after all. And even if he ends up being the toughest opponent at the fighting mini-game (and he probably is not), I seriously doubt most of us are gonna have big problems to beat him anyway. And worst case scenario, we can play with mini-games off.
That is not the issue here. I am speaking of morals, of ethics. That you can do something and are fucking good at it, does not mean that it necessarily is something you must do or you should be pride of doing. And beating someone to death is a clear example of what I am speaking about.
