Playing Elite in the 80s, I picked up a canister of slaves. Once I arrived at the space station, I found I couldn't free the slaves, only sell them. As a child, I found the idea distressing and I couldn't keep playing. As an adult, I feel a bit silly but I still can't play it.

@fesshole my last play-through of Morrowind, I ignored the main quest and just started offing slaveowners.

@fesshole massive fan of Frontier: Elite II , never traded in Slave, always shot up the Empire because of their trade.

@fesshole Elite is definitely a product of its time (its time meaning the market-fundamentalist Thatcher era)
