They do affect us. But the question here is in what way? BG series and even better Planscape:Torment is about using
your own brain. Based on that you can learn to look things from diffrent wiew and gain wisdom. It also makes your vocabulary better. Movies? IMO movies are similar. It`s all about how
you choose to see it. For example:American History X or better Training day is a "violent" film(s). But it makes your beliefes diffrent if not better. You can really learn a lot from this particluar film. It makes a lot of truth of how it is in today`s social system and problems in society.
Also you might want to look at this thread started by me:
Games (and violence).
