I wouldn't consider a virtual relationship to conflict with your marriage, though I would wonder why you would want a virtual relationship when you have a real one. So it is perhaps unwise, though not necessarily wrong. Simply killing people in video games I have no problem with. Perhaps a result of my old-fashioned violent tendencies, but I have no problem hacking zombies or bandits apart. Especially if they're attacking me. It you correspond this to the real world, I suppose you could say I have no problem with soldiers attacking/killing terrorists. But that may be a bit much all at once. Yeah, I have my own opinion. I think it unwise, though perhaps intruiging. It just tempts people to take moral decisions lightly and desensitizes them to morality in general. From a game design perspective, it's interesting that they address such issues, but from the player's point of view, it does kinda desensitize them.
