My second turn's unnoficial goal was to turn everyone into vampires, and it backfired so bad, I ended up making the fort a more efficient, safer and friendlier place.
Apparently they evolved a taste for everything I love and care about

About 2 dozen police officers sitting at their desks suddenly decided to empty their 10mm's into my backside. Took me a few tries to figure out why: I left an unconscious cop in view of a security camera. The camera didn't catch it when I passed through before because I closed the door, but left it open when I came back out. Whoops.

Damn. Oh well. At least I can go for the stealth one. Which right now requires buying the ability to punch through walls and snap the neck of the guy behind it(no non-lethal option for this?).

Fuck no wait, I didn't stealth the beginning either. Argh.

Conscience? I just wanted the achievement.

I read the clues wrong and banished the wrong god. Maybe I was too hasty to dismiss some clues as being redundant. I had the full banishment ritual though, which made me overconfident, so I rushed straight to Stonehenge for ending D.

Oh yeah, I need to play that again.  My brother and I managed to banish the right god... but...

More recently, was sent to clear a large open quarry.  Despite focusing on semi-auto rifles, I wasn't really built for sniping.  The bandits were built for infinite ammo and the area had very little cover.

Yeah, I banished the correct god once as well, on the pre-Insanity edition of the game.

Protips:
1. When you generate a custom empire using SM Mode, make sure the planet is habitable or can be made so.
2. If the planet can be made habitable, don't forget to actually do so before starting the game.
3. When you see unrest climbing, don't just assume it's because of protection issues.  Actually check to confirm that it isn't something else.
4. Take a glance at your population levels once in a while to make sure you haven't just accidentally killed over 20% of your population in a single year.

If you were going for a nonlethal run it'd make sense eventually. But apparently you fucked it up anyway so never mind.

To be fair, the opening sequence makes lethal force entirely sensible as well.

Plus, boss fights are always lethal, apparently. The achievement text for a pacifist run specifically states that bosses don't count.

I'm playing through the Dawnguard quests for Skyrim as a vampire. At the confrontation with the Arch-Curator in the Chapel, Serana and I are beating him handily with liberal use of fire vs. the frozen Falmer.

His minions dispatched, the Arch-Curator stands and collapses the roof of the chapel, blasting me off my feet and letting sunlight stream into the room.

Cue Serana walking up to me and asking "Are you alright?" as I lie screaming and burning on the floor as the sunlight destroys my undead body.

For a lark, I generated a galaxy with no warpgates.  All empires would be stuck in their original solar systems until they developed rather late-game stellar manipulation technology to create artificial gates.

Naturally, I didn't expect the AI to handle this at all.  So I self-imposed a couple challenges.  My race of gentle plants (the Supox, heh) wouldn't develop any weapon technology until they witnessed combat.  Even then, they would never bombard planets.  The victory condition was completing 90% of the tech tree.

Things went very well.  We colonized our cool red star system in record time, including the gas giants and icy worlds.  Undisturbed, we were able to make every planet a beautiful utopia full of delicious CO2.  Most research was devoted to stellar manipulation, and what wonders we discovered!  We formed a brand new planet out of an asteroid belt, dissipated a warp storm, and even designed a device which, in theory, would create whole new bright, nourishing stars from background gases.

And our crowning achievement, the ability to *wrap* said stars in massive sphereworlds.  Praise the suns 24/7!

All of that would have taken a super long time to actually do, though, and we were curious about other stars.  I built two ships, the Enlightenment and Resistance.  The first would open a warp gate (turns out I'd overrestimated the distances, and it could open a gate to *anywhere* in the galaxy).  The other could close a gate, just in case.  We didn't know war, but we had faced hostile environments.  For the same reason we developed advanced shield technology, we made this failsafe.

The first "star system" was...  Disappointing.  A nebula, devoid of life or planets.  We could develop it, but we wanted something more.
The second star system was... the same thing, but a different color.  (It only occurred to me just now that these might not have always been nebula systems...)
The third system had...  Three races! :o  One for each planet type gas/rock/ice.  Our scout gaped at hulking dreadnoughts with massive spinal energy cannons, three fleets poised in an uneasy peace.  Which turned to our strange blue portal, and the unarmed green ship that had spawned it...

"Hi friends, we would like a treaty of trade!"  Came the the transmission, even as they sent a dreadnought through the portal.  I had placed the portal right next to one of my forge worlds, which in retrospect was... hilariously naive.  The dreadnought "panicked" and glassed the planet, its moon, and my portal-spawning ship.  Trillions dead in the blink of an eye.  "So how about that trade treaty huh?"

"Uh... uh... sure?"  I signed the treaty, meanwhile scanning through the... side effects of our great research.  We saw now how our amazing cosmic powers could be wielded as... weapons?  But it would take time to properly harness such energies.  In shock, we began research on gravity-wave "guns" to defend ourselves...  Though surely this treaty meant that this was all a terrible misunderstanding!  We would help them into a new age of enlightenment, literally, we would create all the stars and worlds they might want-

Oh, on the next turn the other two races sent their fleets in.  Deep.  5 utopias burned with crystal-focused heat, or had their surfaces warped by strange chrono-weapons.  Only two planets survived.  It was simply incomprehensible.  They didn't even DEMAND anything!  Except... trade treaties.

We had developed the ability to create stars, yes.  Along the way, we had discovered how to destroy them.  These psychos had murdered nearly all of us, and treated us warmly afterwards.  Clearly they had no regard for life whatsoever, and had to be destroyed.  Or at least threatened with annihilation...  We were panicking.

So development began of the great superweapon.  A surprisingly tiny ship, carrying a gravimetric payload which would turn the system of horrors into another nebula.  It would take years, but in the meantime we were no longer helpless.  Our remaining two planets were rapidly covered in missile launchers and massive focused-gravity emitters.  The dark dreadnoughts were heavily shielded, and enormous, but they twisted and rent in the most horrifying ways as they approached our planets.  So much senseless death, and still the races acted as if nothing was wrong.

Fortunately, the strange custom of "trade treaty" turned the ships back.  As if nothing had happened, there was peace.  Looking over our charred and blasted worlds, we remembered a ship we had designed to prevent this.  The "Resistance"...  had been scuttled due to a resource shortage.  Still, it was a better solution than paying murder with murder.  We scrapped the star-destroyer and built a replacement gate-closer.  Under the guise of this alien "treaty", it closed the gate.  Maybe, centuries from now, we would return and offer them another chance...

"A plasma instability has been detected within the star Zitrod Star (sic).  Our scientists predict it will destroy itself in approximately 3 years."
...
fuuuuuuuUUUUUUU-

Did you know?  If you try to recover using captain falcon's side-B and hit your opponent(or more likely, whiff), you can't grab ledges.
