Discussion In games, do you find it hard or easy to be evil?

I can't choose the evil paths, it makes me feel real bad in my stomach when I do and that's why I always chose the good options.

That's also why I couldn't finish dishonored because killing people got you the bad ending and the game was REAL boring if you didn't kill people and just played stealth all the time.

 

I usually do both if the game has save functions.

 

Hmm , there is my favorite evil path in Himegiri dungeon meister, when the mc broke the hero distant family. Convert her to his knight and conquer her country.

 

For games like undertale I tried straight for the genocide rout since I had the misfortunate timing of reading summoned slaughterer right before playing. So basically my moral compass is determined entirely by the last novel I've read.

 

I can't say I didn't choose evil path because it is evil
It's more of if I kill this npc will I suffer consequences kinda thing
If it is more beneficial to kill the npc, I won't mind doing it as long as it doesn't against my own moral judgement.
I think my alignment more to lawful neutral?

 

"You choose all"

Also with how you explain it the game this comes from wouldnt be your cup of tea

 

I don't care for good or evil, I hate picking sides. I want the benefits of both. I remember in Wow I kept a bunch of factions neutral for a long time cause I didn't want to. Only when they forced the choice did I do it. I stopped playing many games when they made me choose.

I like to be friendly with everyone after all





Then backstab them when they least expect it

 

I believe that whether you are good, evil, or neutral. Nazeem deserves to DIE.

 

I tried to make everything 'right' (as in, get most out of the situation)

If the motivation is to save the girls, then I'll try to save everyone; but if the motivation is the make money, then killing and drug-trafficking won't stop me.

 

It depends on the game for me. But it's not really hard for me to be evil in a game

 

I want to murder npc in town, but the game forbids me

 

Both. Roleplaying as extremely benevolent and capable person in game is easy. While projecting evil and doing crimes without repercussions is a fresh out of the norm experience.

Your question should be which one you're more interested in doing in game given that you're free of responsibility or consequence.

 

I also feel like that. I thought that I could be bad at least and just in the sims, but recently I discovered that all evil sims that I had (not to many) never actually did something bad. Yesterday I made my sim cheat her husband and I felt so awful that I excluded the save.

 

I usually have an easy time doing the bad endings, but I prefer taking the good endings first, and if I feel like it, I go do the bad endings too.

 

No, I'm role playing, so if I don't do something I usually don't in real life, then what's the point in playing the game?

Now my brethren. Slaughter and kill! SLAUGHTER! AND KILL! Kill them all! Leave not one blade of grass standing. Cull the weed.

 

I always choose for good ending. So I don't choose to be evil if that would led me to bad ending.

 

The game i play only write chaotic and law

 

The only games I remember right now, where you could be "evil", were the old Knights of the Old Republic games... Maybe there has been others I've played... maybe not... But anyway, while there were some moments when I think I may have felt a little "bad" about doing some of the evil options (like getting certain wookie to kill his twilek friend comes to mind), mostly it was just some stupid petty shit that didn't feel like true evil that a Sith Lord should be doing...

 

I like being evil in most games, the evil options are usually the most fun to mess around with.

 

Depends on how you define "evil". Most games allow morally ambiguous, neutral options these days.

In Divinity II, the game encourages you to follow your own whims while subtly pushing some level of morality (mainly because it's too hard to go into OP-kill-everyone mode in high difficulty settings).
Or in D&D speak, it's basically Chaotic Good, Lawful Neutral, True Neutral, or Chaotic Neutral.
