They're shit more often than not.
From my point of view you are the evil one
Because being evil purely for the sake of being evil is boring
I'm not edgy enough.
>>337473382
Games are usually shit at moral choices, it's not fun to play an evil character when there's no temptation and it's basically "press x not to be a cunt"
>>337475552
>Played the game as an evil character
>"You were the hero the entire time"
Most people pick evil, though.
>>337473382
Because no game offers an interesting evil playthrough wherethe evil motive is better than its opposition.All evil playthroughs are im super evil im gonna just kill all these people now.
You've got to genocide, betray and be an overall edgelord if you go full evil.Paragon is more fun anyway
>>337474892
This.
To actually be evil you have to know what the story is going to be about first so you'd know what the goals are. After that it's a matter of picking what kind of evil character you want to be. I would post the evil character motivations chart but I never saved it.
Evil characters are rarely done well. Most games you just get periodic choices of kill x or save x and all that amounts to is some boring alternate ending.
The only games I ever chose to be evil and had fun in was the KOTOR series, but even then I would only choose the options that would make me more powerful, since I already knew beforehand what Sith were like and how to be one.

>anime faggotry
>proving anything
Yeah and the girl's actually 205.
When you play a game that gives you dialogue choices, picking purely evil or purely good choices is usually shit.
Best way I've found to play those games is to pick a kind of attitude and stick with it. Like playing through ME, make your character someone who only cares about his squad and act based on that, or someone who refuses to disobey his superiors, something like that.
Makes you feel kind of faggy for rp'ing that hard but hey, that's what rpgs are for

You either get it two ways and neither works for me. First is Bioware style cartoonish villainy where its just pointless.
Second is something like planescape torment where its honestly uncomfortable to play because its such genuine soul crushing evil.
Only time I ever actually enjoyed going evil was Soul Nomad, and that was mostly because if you LOSE the last battle you get a really neat ending.
>>337475324
Fallout 2 kind of let you do that.
Games tend to be more interesting/rewarding on the "good" route.
Renegade interrupts in ME2 are probably the most satisfying thing to ever come out of a game's "evil" options.
If it's an online game I pick good straight away because all the underag shitters always pick evil
>>337473382
Because I generally choose to not be an asshole.
>>337477956

>>337478250
Interrupts were cool but I always felt like there was more they could do with them. Honestly it's been so long I can't remember what it was but I recall thinking they were a bit lacking.

Pico x Coco x Rance
>>337477681
Rance lives in an anime universe where rape is treated like cartoon violence. He would be a horrible monster by normal standards despite the incidental good he manages to pull off.
Then again, that isn't really much different than any other protagonist that wanders around mass murdering everything. Real violence is equally horrific. So eh.

He should have said that he raped every of-age woman he saw regardless of creed or consequence.
That would at least imply evil to counteract the good, even if he's a law guy.
I know it's not the message of OP's image but I gotta ask why the fuck is anyone afraid of the idea of ghosts or anything supernatural? Wouldn't the existence of ghosts and all that shit pretty much prove that there is life after death and make our lives seem a lot less pointless?

fuck off with this stupid thread
>>337479964
It's about vulnerability. Ghosts and supernatural are often invulnerable to mundane actions yet they can hurt you or curse you in various ways. They have ways to track you, go through walls, and so on, while you can only observe them by chance or at their leisure. It's the same as any monster that gets put as higher on the food chain than humans. The notion of being hunted and killed while helpless to do anything about it is disturbing.

That's actually the best way to go about it, I would have never done an NCR playthrough of New Vegas if I hadn't set up my character as an undercover NCR agent who holds the NCR above everything, second only to himself.

>>337473382
>Evil faction is gimped and has almost no benefit to doing it
>>337482876
Pragmatism and utilitarianism =/= evil. Evil factions are groups like the Powder Gangers in New Vegas, the Disciples of Andraste in Dragon Age, the Fourth Reich in Metro, or the Volkihar Vampires in Skyrim.

The evil character/faction often tends to lose canonically.

Kamen Rider Amazon showcased a hero who was a complete sociopath about everything, and look how that turned out. Justice 4 lyfe.
>>337483518
Because he doesn't actually view anything he does as wrong. It's a firm and genuine belief in everything he does.
>>337473382
Because evil people think they are the heroes.
Real "evil" people are just people that try to save the world at all cost. Ignoring morals and ethics simply to reach that goal.
There is no objective evil. Most "villain" evil stuff is just plain irrational.
It's like ISIS. They genuinely think they are saving people by maximizing the amount of people going to heaven. Hell the soldiers are basically heroes because they give their lives simply so that the people they conquer have eternal life in heaven instead of burning in hell for eternity.
Of course it's all fake. But that's just a matter of perspective. In their own eyes they are the heroes.
This is the case for every "evil" person. The cartoonish version of evil/villains don't exist or have some mental illness.
>>337483705
Doesn't that just make him a psychopath?
>>337483798
>Because evil people think they are the heroes.
You've never heard a murderer or someone who did really fucked up shit say "I know what I did was wrong"?
>>337483817
A sociopath, and sort of. But it has the side effect of, as I said, making him pure.
Keep in mind the Rance games are pretty screwy with morality and the way it works. Rance is both the best and the worst leader in the series.
>>337483318
>>337483518
It's also pointed out in Magnum (it's a major plot thing) that soul pureness is defined by the self.
Rance didn't have a pure soul because he was good but because his soul wasn't tainted by negative feelings like depression/gulit/envy etc.
It's more a measure of how self centred his morality is and how he always lives for the moment.
>>337483798
Nah man, it's actually legitimently a thing when people do evil shit just because they can. And a monsterous man with no rhyme or reason, or rhyme and reason that barely justifies his homicidal nature, can be a perfectly good villain.
Luca Blight for example
>>337484009
>>337484190
That's not evil that's just mentally unstable/illness
They usually can't help they are in that situation. Either born with genetics that made them a psychopath or experienced some damaging things during life that made them that way. No normal healthy person does something like that. That's why evil doesn't exist.
>>337484441
You do realise that for every serial killer diagnosed with a mental illness, there are just as many who are perfectly sane, which is why so many people are disturbed by them?
Impulse of all things is a powerful drive. Besides, putting aside reality for a second, this is fucking fiction.
>>337483242
I'll grant that Rance has a soft spot for children. If he has one redeeming quality it's that he genuinely gets upset whenever they get involved.
But otherwise, with adults, yes it is. Play sengoku rance. He fucks a huge number of unwilling women after conquering their territories. It's straight up rape. But the reaction afterwards is usually something along the lines of frustrated annoyance or acceptance. Half the time they join his army and fall in love with him. And I mean.. if that's how it works in ranceverse, then whatever. But it would never be considered not-evil in reality.
>>337484587
Rance has a lot of redeeming qualities. When one of the people he hated because he was getting cucked died, Rance was furious because he was still a member of his army.
Also, and it's a key difference, when Rance rapes someone he also doesn't break them mentally. As opposed to literally every other rapist in their universe.
>>337484089
That's fucking stupid. That is offensively stupid. I'm not even mad that he rapes the women, I'm mad this shitty game tries to sell that he's a good guy.
>>337478795
>talking about a character where everything you know about them is a single image
I agree.
>>337484441
Evil does exist. Evil is the choice to do the "wrong" thing, fully knowing all the consequences and repercussions it will have for others and going through with it anyway. Knowingly profiting off the suffering of others is blatantly evil. It is a path to be striven for, like attaining enlightenment but going in the opposite direction.
>>337484587
Well he's generally considered a cunt in his universe as well.
Just one of those guys that is strong enough that it's better to be on on his good side/let him have what he wants so he doesn't pick a fight with you and also someone who is a pretty decent ally to have when shit happens and demons invade.
The Rance VI OP points out how unheroic he really is and very few characters think he is heroic*
*Lia does but she's much the same kind of person as Rance
*People like Alfra do as well but if I were a seven year old loli forced to work as a child sex slave to the poin that I lost an eye I'd consider the person who rescued me a hero as well
*And Reset thinks her daddy is strong and cool
But apart from that most people understand what Rance is
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vlcs4OSEnsk
>>337485065
He is. Aside from the fact that he rapes people, Rance is a legitiment greek-style hero.
The only times he isn't are bad endings and the non canon game. Fuck one of the recent games entirely exists because he wants to free Sil. PURELY because he wants to free Sil. He has no reason to do that quest otherwise.

>>337485123
Is that evil though? It's not so simple as "knowingly profiting off of others suffering". That guy hauling in profit does it to give his family a great life. Doesn't realize/understand how much suffering he is actually causing to those people. Doesn't have enough intelligence to see the repercussion of his actions. Or because of religious reasons doesn't even regards his actions as evil.
I don't believe there are people that willingly do something evil while they actually know and recognize it's something evil they are doing.
Usually it's just picking the lesser evil. Like hitler gassing the jews. He knew it was "evil" but he genuinely thought it was what was needed to be done to achieve goodness in the world. Ergo saw himself as the hero with evil means.
>>337479936
Here's a challenge for you:
For each of these motivations, name a vidya villain who actually had it
>>337485253
He isn't. He doesn't give a shit about others. That's the entire fucking point of rape. You are literally FORCING your will and dominance on someone unwilling, and are doing unspeakable damage to them in the process. And you don't give a flying fuck about it. That is pure fucking evil.
If the game at least nuanced that shit it wouldn't be nearly as bad as it is. But it fucking doesn't. It plays it off as some incredibly shitty comedy aspect, and then DURR THEY FALL IN LOVE almost immediately afterwards. And the guy is sold to us to be fucking pure and the best fucking guy ever?
Fuck off with that shit. Rance could be a lot better if the people behind it gave enough of a shit beyond the gameplay and 'lel rape is funny git ur fetish game here folks!'
At least Rapelay made it very fucking clear you were a monster. Fucking Rapelay had a better moral than Rance.
>>337485547
Yes it is evil. If I get told "If you take this 50,000 dollars, I'll shoot someone you don't know." and then take the money, that's an evil act.
Even if I was going to spend that 50,000 on starving orphans, it's still an evil act. The end result was good but what I did to get it, get someone killed and KNOWING that it was going to happen, is an evil act.
Who /good guy but loves edgy shit/ here?
Any games where I can be so cartoonishly evil it loops back on itself and becomes enjoyable ?
I'm serious, if you're not gonna allow your players to have believable evil choices, at least make them so hilariously ridiculous they'll be fun.
>>337485693
You've never played a Rance game have you?
Like you seriously haven't played a single Rance game have you? You've clearly heard there was rape in it, maybe saw some and played for a little while, but you haven't played the game have you? Any of them.
>>337485065
The games blatantly point out that he isn't a good guy and that he's an amoral, hypocritical self centred person who has only just started giving the slightest fucks about anyone beyond himself.
Kichikuou Rance is the defining Rance game. In the game every female character (around 30 of them) has a good ending and a bad ending. For about three quarters of them their good ending involves something like "never meets Rance ever again"
Soul pollution has nothing to do with good or evil.
Rance has no soul pollution in Sengoku Rance. In the sequel he has a lot because of his regret and guilt over Sill getting cursed defending him.
Not because he became more evil
>>337484861
>when one of the people he hated
You get it wrong.
Rance actually likes Rick. Like a lot.
He lets Rick off with stuff that he'd never tolerate from any other man. He also defends Rick when he gets shittalked which is something he's never done for anyone else and he doesn't fuck Leila because she's in love with Rick.
>>337485791
Soul Nomad, at least until the end where you go from laughable cartoonishly evil to a complete fucking monster.
>>337485547
Your first example isn't actually evil. It's a misguided or desperate fool.
>I don't believe there are people that willingly do something evil while they actually know and recognize it's something evil they are doing.
I think you're naive. With the billions of people on the face of this planet, you don't think even one has willingly chosen to be evil?
>>337485923
Kichikuou is also non canon. I also think Kichikuou had some better maps then the ones they ultimately went with.
>>337485923
>Only just started
In Rance I and II he was a complete prick, sure, but I'd hardly say "just started" since his relationship with Sil is a defining example of him not being a complete sociopath.
In what games can you play as an evil guy in a satisfying manner. Usually the choices are.
1. I'll save the galaxy and the poor children!
2. I'll save the galaxy.
3. I'm killing these children and then I guess I'll save the galaxy but not because I like it or anything.
>>337485693
>and then DURR THEY FALL IN LOVE almost immediately afterwards.
This literally happens with two or three girls in the series.
Including Lia who's hobby used to be kidnapping girls and maids to put in her sex dungeon and Satella who is a Demon.
The third is possibly Sill but we're not shown why she loves Rance.
Anyone else who loves Rance either never got raped by him or carried a massive grudge for a long time over it.
>>337475324
Shadow the Hedgehog does this
>>337486136
Evil Genius
Great game about being evil, it basically follows Bond movie logic.
>>337485943
I don't think it's possible to choose it. Every person in history or the internet that was labeled "evil" never was really evil. Just misguided or mentally ill. Or didn't consider what they did to be evil.
So yes their actions might be bad. But not villain evil. Like deliberately choosing to be evil evil.
I just think evil is a religious concept that doesn't actually exist. It's just ingrained into our culture so we naturally accept it as a part of life. But it's not real. Luck is a good example of something that is also ingrained into our culture but actually fake when you think about it.
If you aren't feeding innocent villagers to mindflayers you don't know shit about being evil
>>337486130
Anyone beyond himself and Sill who at that point he cares about because she is his property.
>>337486027
Kichikuou is not canon in terms of timeline. In terms of how the characters were at that point it's entirely consistent with canon with the exception of some of the characters who only canonically appeared after KR is set and were changed (like Nobunaga).
For Rance/Sill/Lia etc the characterisation is perfectly consistent with canon.
>>337486281
My nigga I fucking love that game to high hell.
>>337486402
You seem to misunderstand why his relationship with Sil is defining. It's not because she's his property, it's because of the reason he bought her in the first place.
>>337486136
As much as people dunk on TOR the Imperial Agent has a pretty satisfying brand of evil. Since a lot of it is being a pragmatic asshole version of James Bond.
>>337486490
Because she was an attractive girl he could buy at the time.
>>337474892
Underrated post.
This all the way. The developers always write the story for the gay good guy that when you go ahead and play evil, it doesn't fit and always ends up being too edgy with no particular reasoning behind it.
>Good choice: Help guy unravel plot conspiring in his village, go through an elaborate story mission that offers some cool gaming moments, and gain some nice loot along the way. In the end, helping guy gains you benefit, like allies that will help you fight later in the game.
>Evil choice: Nah fuck you! Skip all that shit... in matter fact, die! because I want you to for lels and I'm going to poison the well next to you to rack up more evil points.
>>337486490
>>337486651
Sill does have a defining relationship with Rance and he does grow to care about her enough that she acts as a morality chain.
It wasn't a love at first sight purchase though. Just Rance's usual tendency to make impulsive decisions with his dick.
It's always poorly written. There's very few games that let you act like a truly evil person because you're never really put in a position of power - you're just a rising star, and when the game ends is ideally when you'd actually become something pure evil and capable of doing something.
That and most games seem to confuse being evil with being a prick, like in conversations with romantic interests, telling them they're being stupid = GAIN EVIL POINTS.
What's worse is when you want to be evil and dialogue options don't let you, or it fucks you over regardless. Age of Decadence springs to mind - plenty of times you'd do evil shit and then OH NO YOU'VE BEEN KILLED YOU STUPID SHIT in cutscene dialogue afterwards, like killing guards in the palace, or attacking a corrupt guard in a city etc. The ending is pretty cool in that if you do it right you can betray everyone and become a god..but yeah.
It's hard to be evil when you've got the power to be nice. Handing out the thousands of gold you get from opening one chest, which would THEORETICALLY make that random peasants life a thousand times better..etc.
Really I think there's only a handful of games that did evil well anyway...Jade Empire, KOTOR II and Planescape Torment to name a few.
>>337487316
>Betray everyone and become a god
>Not nuke two cities to kill a god and basically doom all of society because you can

Try being evil in planescape torment I dare you.
Nobody is edgy enough to be that much of a horrible person to people.

I only play after beating the game once with the sensible faction.

Yeah but he pretty much exclusively kills bandits and soldiers, most of whom are pretty big assholes himself.
I mean, there are some petty exceptions like when he butchers gate guards just because they try to stop him with force, but he's not exactly going around killing little timmy.
>>337487768
Enlighten me then.
>>337487791
He also has never killed anyone female
>>337487791
He's neutral at best, mate.
It's rare that he does deeds that are not beneficial to him in one way or the other.
>>337488076
But rape is always the best medicine to cure an evil female. Rance got something going there.

You never watched the show clearly so I would suggest starting there you dumb cunt
>>337488209
I'm not personally arguing that he's good. I'm arguing that he's not evil.
>>337488295
Except all that makes them do is want to kill him
>>337488334
Except I did, and nice argument. You're full of shit, and super fucking defensive to boot.
>>337488395
Save for the notable exception in Lia
Kamilla went from being amused by him to some extent to hating him (though it's partially based on a misunderstanding).
Am still just wants to kill God

Mentally ill is kind of a convenient term. The first thing the most evil people do is try to claim insanity. Evil does go against some basic parts of human nature but it is possible. There are people who choose to be "evil evil". You can hear about it every day. Child rapists, murderers and shit are pretty damn mundane but they are evil. A very common motivation for murder is insurance money too. Spouses offing each other for cash despite building a nice and comfortable life for themselves. Saw one case where a dude literally murdered his own parents with an axe for that sweet premium payout. There's just no defense for that kind of thing. It's evil.

If you retards consciously choose the "evilest" path, then you've already defeated the purpose.

I used to like it way better when the zerg were just a force of nature, neither good nor evil but just creatures doing the only thing they knew how to do.
Then I remembered I'm older than than 15 and realized all of blizzard's writing is trite not worth thinking about at all.
it feels bad even if it's play pretend. i've been trying to play more like something real, someone who wouldn't jump on every chance to risk his life so someone he doesn't even know can keep on selling her cup cakes or whatever, but the only thing that ends up happening is you have no quests and no fun. all that's left is being a good guy forever and ever.
I am considering the Legion in Fallout NV though. I imagine that kind of post apocalyptic world would go through cycles of warlords purging the degeneracy, why not be on their side it's gonna happen anyways and might even be good in the long run.
I play collectivists who prioritize service to the greater body over anything else. Life is just a game of pretend anyway

Giraffes aren't that close to horses actually, I think they're closer to deer.

How many times are the absolute evil actions ever well-written? It always winds up being edgy for the sake of being edgy, with some pretentious monologue thrown in. On top of that, going evil usually shaves off a quarter if not half of potential game content because everyone winds up either dead after your first few interactions, or they refuse to interact with you because you fucked them over.
On a related note, why is being "good" so shitty? Half the time the player never has to make ANY significant sacrifice in games, and they are still deemed as paragons of virtue. Most of the time doing the "good" option is the most valuable self-interest for the player, as shaking down or blackmailing that NPC for a bit more currency doesn't even pay off in the long run as currency almost always becomes useless anyway, and being mean to NPCs usually locks out any future quests or content from them.
Morality in games is usually stupid anyway.
