Breath of Fire 2 taught me that even the most seemingly trustworthy person, may be hiding behind a mask of treachery.

Ofc i can remember. it IS spoiler territory tho.

Put simply its about being betrayed by a fatherly figure.

Temporarily sure, but nothing beyond a change of mood.

Breath of Fire 2 taught me to always level up all characters in jRPGs because you never know when your monkey will have to beat another monkey in one-on-one combat.

Honestly, I think years of playing games (particularly story-heavy ones) makes it easier to put one's self in other people's shoes and view things from different angles, but if that's the case, it's probably a bunch of very small shifts rather than being the result of any single game.

No, I don't use Microsoft Office products.

Outlook's pretty good for the enterprise features, if you work in an office. Of course the company becomes dependent on it very quickly.

I would say Ultima: Quest of the Avatar on the NES had such an effect on me. (This is the NES remake of Ultima 4; it's very different from other versions, but the virtues are the same.)

I could also mention Secret of Mana, which led to an appreciation of nature and plant life.

Incidentally, there's a game I've watched on Twitch called Secret Little Haven; it's about a trans girl finding out about herself on the early days of the Internet. I suspect that game might change one's views about that particular topic. It is probably a good idea to heed the content warnings, however. (I haven't bought or played that game, but I think I will at some point.)

Hmm, a person who's both seemingly trustworthy and hiding behind a mask of treachery... The trustworthy traitor, a person you trust to betray? But what if they betray that trust and stay loyal?

Yeah. Nethack introduced me to the concepts behind both permadeath and roguelikes. I came to see the game as the closest metaphor to life than previously seen in computer games. It was perhaps even an introduction to Buddhism for me, in a round about way.

Finding Paradise changed the way I see my past and my future and the way I look at disappointments, and it actually helped me overcoming a terrible part of my life

Papo & Yo changed the way I scold my little brother (he's 5 now) when he deserves it

Team Fortress 2 has made me realize people are stupid. There's no hope for humanity, we will all die just like Stephen Hawking predicted. Eventually.
