The unfortunate fact is, the conceit of most action games relies on some pretty dumb ideas.

  1. Every opponent is committed to ending your life, even to the point of fighting on when 80% of their unit is dead.
  2. Your hero is skilled enough at combat to win hundreds of fights without any permanent injuries
  3. The "light, casual" quests you're put on like retrieving a child's missing doll are important enough to for enemies to relentlessly guard with their life.

People have pointed this out for everyone from Mario to Nathan Drake, etc. Some games even try to base a "moment of introspection" around it, and it sort of falls flat.

In Halo, you can kill an elite squad commander and the grunts will run and cower. Halo wins once again.

And it's still fun to go hunt those little bastards down.
