You got a really high level of empathy compared to the general population of today that it's bordering on being a superpower. :P Makes me wonder how you became interested in action comics.

But my point is that of course pain is definitely something to be avoided but it's also merely an indicator of external damage and the greatest motivator to withdraw from damaging situations. Hence why evolution gave us pain sensors.

Pain/trauma would be the last thing I would be worried about in a videogame observing just how many lives your character has in stock.
