Portray the fear and frustration people have to endure when a conflict breaks out in the game world. How they wished for everything to be back to normal once again. Another way is to present the realities of war through the eyes of the main character. How he/she feels regarding the war, the things he's done and his reaction towards the death of his/her comrades.
I'll give a few quotes from Sgt. Matt Baker in Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30:
- "I never asked to be squad leader, but I had no choice. Now I've got thirteen soldiers under my command. Thirteen men depending on me to make the right decisions and not get them killed. Thirteen families relying on me to bring their husbands and sons home. Thirteen. Thirteen is not a lucky number."
- "My dad said something to me after the divorce. He said that every soldier have two families. Those you raise and those you raise hell with. I've spent eight days here, eight days commanding a squad I wasn't ready to lead, eight days watching my men, my family kill and be killed, eight days wishing it would stop."
- "How can a man stay focused on life when all he sees is death? I can't get it out of my head that sending Allan and Garnett with Leggett got them killed, If they've just been with me...
<censored>! If they've just been with me, maybe they'd still be alive maybe I could have saved them!... Maybe..."
