Does anyone else find it really difficult to play evil in games, like emotionally and morally?
I loved fable and got my angel wings and halo easy-pie; I never managed the horns and huge black wings. I tried, I really did, but I just can’t do it properly.. I feel bad for it.
Edit: Or wait is that what this is about, rather than just a specific game..?
Most people don't do evil runs because people feel bad if they hurt the emotions of someone they care about.
Though it helps if the people you are being an asshole to are the bad guys of the story. Gives more of an anti hero vibe to it.
Most people don't do evil runs cause most games do a shit job at portraying evil.
If I help the nice girl who has the keys to the treasure chest, in order to make her like me, that isn't a "good" act.
I just want her to trust me so it's easier to get the keys later.
Tbf there was also a poll on how many people played through the Mass Effect games and did a Renegade playthrough and a vast majority didn't.
Your idea sounds cool though.
