Evil choices you hardly couldnt get yourself to do

There's probably been a bunch... for the most part I suck at evil playthroughs. Like a lot of people, Tali in Mass Effect has been the source of a few. I've never brought myself to betray her at her trial in ME2, and only once have I been able to bring myself to deny her the Geth data that will complete her pilgrimage in ME1. Same goes for killing Wrex - I did it once, but that was helped too by the fact that killing him is stupid, pointless and 100% avoidable whether you're a paragon or a renegade.
As for Udina though, ever since getting ME2 and seeing how much Anderson hates the job I've nominated Udina every time. Yes he's still a toolbox, but it kinda feels like the lesser of two evils when the alternative is consigning one of the Alliance's greatest soliders to a life of bureaucracy and paperwork instead of retirement with mai tais and yahtzee...

I ran one character through City of Heroes: Going Rogue as a straight up Loyalist who saw viewed all members of the Resistance as terrorists, that is until I had to decide whether or not to hand over a Resistance leader I'd just defeated to Praetor Tilman, aka 'Mother Mayhem', a powerful psychic and a complete lunatic. I couldn't bring myself to give anyone into the clutches of that psychopath so it was the only 'good' option I picked in that run when I let them go.
It would be easier for me to list the evil things that I CAN do. Sorry but I'm a goody goody, I play Paragon every single time, minus that one time I sided with Ceaser's Legion. It's more of a shock to me when I come across a renegade option that I can't resist passing up, like setting that loud mouth Krogan on fire, he was ANNOYING!
WAIT WAIT WAIT, I just thought of one, in Human Revolution, that desk seargent (forget his name) that served with Jensen once. I used my speech aug to get through once and next thing I know Adam was blackmailing the dude. I instantly rebooted my xbox and used the approach where I help him come to terms with his past.

ME1: Giving the council to Udina, did it on my second play through and it was still hard to press the button to give it to him.
ME1: Letting Ashley die instead of Kaiden, again on my second play through, again hard to press the button.
ME2: Choosing between Miranda and Tali when they both had a love interest for my Shep, this happened during my first play through, I went with Miranda but I was never 100% happy with the decision.

Fallout 3: Pretty much anything. I felt like a dick for pretty much the entirety of the game. After completing Broken Steel, I realised I had blown up the Citadel and Megaton, and poisoned the purified water supply. I turned the game off there in disgust and never went back to that playthrough.
Fallout: New Vegas: Siding with the (comically evil) Legion. No way. The interesting thing is, first time 'round, I was stuck between choosing to back the NCR or Mr. House. I was edging towards Mr. House, but my hand was forced when they both told me to blow up the Brotherhood of Steel. The NCR at least were willing to ally with the BoS, but for reasons I cannot fathom, Mr. House wants them dead and nothing else. I' d had Veronica as a companion ever since I met her, and well, I just couldn't do it. NCR it was. My second playthrough was intended to be a House playthrough, but now I'm Idolized by the NCR and I'm not entirely sure I can just stab them in the back like that. I guess I'm just a big softie at heart.
Also, picking any ending other than Sarif's for Human Revolution (the only one I agreed with completely) for the Deus Ex Machina achievement. It wasn't easy siding with that Grade-A asshole Taggart, I can tell you that.

In KOtoR, in one playthrough I had the Zaalbar murder Mission because she didn't like my whole dark-side deal.
That wasn't nice.

Holy necro thread batman! This was started in May lol.
OT: I always struggle between "what's best for my (my character)" and "what's right". Sometimes I make a dick move, especially if I don't give a rats ass about the NPCs it affects. But definitely in some games it gets hard. I've definitely done "the right thing" and missed out on loot or items or whatever. FO3, blowing up Megaton... I not only couldn't do it my first playthrough, but later on I hunted down Ten Penny and blew his head off.

I usually play Paragon in Mass Effect but I always want to beat up the Aljilani Newsreporter Girl on the Citadel. Because it is so hilarious when Shepard stops the conversation cold and knocks her out. If you´ve bought the shadow broker dlc, you can see some videos of other species beating her up including a Volus. Cracked me up. And it showed me, that the developers love beating her up as much as I do.
ah yes reapers The immortal race of sentient starships allegedly waiting in dark space we have dissmised that claim.DarksideFlame said:
OT: ME3 i was playing renegade and i couldnt fuck over the krogan or the geth.
