Wow, you are very prolific lately, which is great. This has given me some insight into games, as I am not a gamer, and it seems they are beyond my I signings and I am missing out.
I will write this question here since it seems to belong in this topic:
do you think that Riddick (character from i.e. "Pitch Black", "The Chronicles of Riddick", games) could be good description of a psychopath?
Watching his actions and motives to me it seems he has some traits:
- he is mostly concerned about his survival (survival of others is often just byproduct and often when those others are usefull or willing to cooperate)
- he does not hesitate to kill but also does not kill everyone like a maniac - only those that are direct threat to him or those who rub him the wrong way.
- he has strong fight or flight mechanism.
- he can keep his head cool even in most dangerous situations.
- he does not seem to make strong connection with others (except with hayena like creature in one of the movies).
Would love to see your opinion Athena on this one (if you have watched any movie about this character).
I'm curious where the deviations were on Fontaine. What wasn't psychopathic about him?
Haven't played BioShock but enjoyed the read. I have a gut feeling that Andrew Ryan is a narcissist as opposed to a psychopath but it's pure speculation on my part (could elaborate on that).
So now I wonder, is the potential to win a motivation for doing things, to a psychopath? Or is it that challenge of the game that is the motivation, or something else.
I still have stuck in my head the question"why would a psychopath kill"? It's perplexing.
EDIT- 'beyond my imaginings'. My spell correct requires too much vigilance.
Would a psychopath baby be the most non- fussiest baby in the world?

Fascinating, thanks for sharing
And
Oh boy, this new video about psychopaths is…

Secondly, a question:
Do psychopaths experience nightmares?
Nightmare, as in a dream with heavy negative emotional content and scenarios.
Cheers

Well written. I'm not into games much but I can why you say they are possibly psychopaths.
