Lest we forget: SPORE

Ahhh I keep getting surrounded by various huge creatures and all I end up doing is having to run away, unless they get me first >:(

This game is rather short, and rather violent. I'm already on the galactic stage after a single 8-hour sitting and the entire game so far has been characterized by violence. Lots of violence. I'm not sure if it even POSSIBLE to be peaceful, seeing as the entire world is invariably full of things trying to kill me. The pool stage is characterized by angry critters trying to kill me, so I would stab them with my spork and eat them. The creature stage is characterized by angry monsters trying to kill me, so I kill them and eat them. The tribal stage is characterized by a bunch of tribes of lesser creatures who attack me unprovoked, so I retaliate and kill them and burn their villages. The civilization stage is again characterized by other civilizations, who proceed to attack me without provocation, so I kill them.
Is anyone else finding the game characterized by constant violence?

Shouldn't you like the MOAR FIGHT! aspect?

You must love this game. Killing and eating, your two favorite things to do. :)

Mostly.
Cellular stage isn't hard. Run, run, run, and eat. I actually found it harder as a carnivore because so many of those hippy herbivores had big spikes. The creature stage can be done nonviolently. I chose not to, as I got too close to a hostile nest trying to get a fossil and the bastards killed one of my tag-a-longs. I hunted them down, and their little babies too.
I have no idea how you could possibly do tribal stage nonviolently, as rival tribes are out to get you from moment one, and I haven't seen any way to turn a prehostile tribe to a neutral stance. I fail at this level. I really, really fail, and kept getting my entire tribe wiped out. Tips would be appreciated.
Civilization stage seems okay. I didn't get to see too much of it. I wasn't doing well, but no one tried to kill me. Well, some wild tribe damaged a ship of mine, but that wasn't too bad.
I saw some epic creatures, and witnessed a few abductions. They almost sucked up one of my tagalongs.
