we kill humans all the time in videogames, i doubt that'd be a problem. i just don't know how sensitive he would be to combat overall. how gory is too gory? castlevania at least has a parallel in that the dracula's castle is kinda like the hotel, being able to appear anywhere and reshape the internal layout, along with having been around across many generations.

oh wow, the valley even spawns monsters to specifically torture asterion. conceptually this could go really wrong, in hitting too close to home, or really great, as in him taking it as having a chance to fight back his traumas in a safe space.

Asterion is the minotaur, and the only one that ever existed (until Storm), so in a sense those enemies would be directly based on him thus he might take it a bit personally.

i don't think so. it sounds to me like doing mental gymnastics to make yourself offended. really i just can't tell how umconfortable he'd be with the graphics. castlevania is in that between spot that could go either way, the enemies just kinda burn out of the screen, but the aesthics are gothic

In the first God Of War there is a boss that is a Minotaur protecting the entrance to the underworld if I remember correctly, which will surely remind him of his own experience (not to mention the different enemy minotaurs that you kill throughout the Greek saga).

There is also the fact that you dedicate yourself to killing gods, among which are Hades and Hermes, which, knowing how devout Asterion is, would certainly not make him happy and would even horrify him. Not only because of the excessive violence, but because of everything you do throughout the trilogy.

my point was more towards killing generic minotaurs on castlevania. god of war would be pretty much blasphemeous towards everything he knows. it's a game about killing the whole olympus pantheon

Yeah, you are right about that. I thought you were referring to the GOW case. XD
