What's the most evil thing you've ever done in a video game?

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

Mine was an accident... but I felt pretty bad!

I was playing the new MGS:V Prologue thingy for the first time, and was meant to save Chico. I found him and proceded to make my way to the RV. I was trying a non killing playthrough (yes... for my first one... bad idea!) and painstakingly decided to save all the other prisoners first, avoiding all the guards.
I finally get to saving Chico, but his constant cries and talking irritated me, so I stuck a tranq between his eyes... fine. It was as I finally made it silently to the drop off point and approached the cliff I suddenly had a brain-fart and forgot the controls. For some reason B wasn't putting him down, so I tried other buttons... then I hit RT and threw him in the sea.
I felt pretty damn guilty about throwing a teenage boy with bolts in his achilles, who I had point blank shot in the face with a tranquiliser dart, into the sea to his death. :/

Sadly...the only times I've done anything evil in games...were in both South Park games. (The FPS for the N64 and The Stick of Truth.)

In the N64 FPS, I would activate the infinite ammo code and then go to town on Cartman with the rapid fire foam dart gun. VERY fun seeing him go all apeshit and swear like a mother.

And in the Stick of Truth? Let's face it...half the crap you do in that game could be seen as "evil".

In Fable, I ate crunchy chicks.

MANY OF THEM.

CRUNCH, CRUNCH. >

...I'm terrible at being a bad guy in games

As am I, which is why most of the time whenever I'm trying to be a villain or just plain evil in games, I come off as either Waluigi or Dick Dastardly. Hell, I even do a Waluigi voice at times, and I'm practicing my Dastardly one.

Probably something I did in Postal 2 that involved burning elephants trampling bystanders.

Way back in Knights of the Old Republic, you're presented with a scenario in which two feuding farm families are at each other's throats. The son of one family has gone missing so the father believes that the father of the other family killed him. As it turns out, it was a Romeo and Juliet scenario, the son had run off to be with the daughter of the other family. Long story short, during the final confrontation of both families, you can either work things out to a peaceful resolution, side with one family or the other, or tell a lie that ultimately causes both families to slaughter each other.

I always enjoyed the last option the most. It's just so deliciously evil! >=D

Then there's the horrific things I've done to my friends' games in Minecraft. Encasing their rooms in obsidian five bricks thick after ensuring they don't have a diamond pickaxe (requires murder to get them to spawn back in their room), the ol' "Hide the lava in the ceiling" trick, but the worst when I made a friend blow up his own castle with a some well-placed TNT, a lot of redstone, and a pressure plate right inside his front door.

I'm a terrible person.

 

[Rip Van Rabbit]

I was playing Prototype.

And I -

I killed a man.

*thousand yard stare*

 

[Michael Tabbut]

A few.

Spec Ops the Line: The whole thing from the White Phosphorus incident to the end.
Fallout 3: Nuking Megaton, burning Harold to the ground, slavery
Mass Effect 3: NOT curing the genophage while Wrex was still leader.
KOTOR 2: Darkside playthrough

I have more but I'd feel like crap if I posted anymore. Especially the ones from Planescape Torment.

 

[kasperbbs]

I stripped random people of all of their stuff, put a bomb collar on their neck and sent them through the wasteland to a slave camp. Thats probably the most evil thing i ever did in FO3.
I lured a priest to a cave full of canibals to become their dinner in skyrim, i reloaded afterwards and saved him tho since i'm not very fond of eating human flesh.
I gave away one of my assasination targets in dishonored to some pervert, i suppose killing her would have been the kinder option.
I won't even mention the shit i did in saints row games..

 

[zerragonoss]

I was playing eador master of a broken world, a fantasy strategy game really fun but insanely slow, I was getting my ass kicked by the stamina draining effects of a desert world. I deiced to stop caring about my morality meter and just restart playing as a necromancer. So not to bad yet nothing I have not done a dozen times. Until I realized I was not producing enough mana to maintain a army of undead. The solution, hire a army of barely armed peasants, send them to the front line to be killed, tire the enemy out, and make some nice fresh corpses to turn into zombies at the front line. After the fourth time or so returing to town for a fresh batch I started to feel like a truly horrible person.

I can't think of anything, I'm always a boring goody two-shoes in games, given the option.

I don't know why I feel guilty for being an asshole to non-sentient NPCs but I do. I'm a total wet blanket.

I've just started Mass Effect for the first time and I'm playing paragon, as usual, maybe I'll switch to renegade to spice things up a bit.

[sub][sub]Nah, I'm too much of a wuss.[/sub][/sub]

maintaining a strong moral compass in the face of a valueless system does not make you a wuss. (I know your probably joking, but people who equate being moral to being boring need to be smacked upside the head, its not true and a horrible way to view the world.)

 

[Phrozenflame500]

Instituting a policy of genocide against the native americans of the new world to protect my central american trade colonies in EU4.

 

[Doom972]

The first thing that comes to mind is a certain moment in KOTOR:

Spoiler

As a dark Jedi with the Mind Control ability, you can get Zaalbar to kill Mission. I still remember her response when her best friend approached her to kill her.

I've seen more evil things in games, but not things that you can actually control. Even if you play an evil character, you don't have to do this unless you specifically choose to.

 

[Fr0stbyt395]

White Phosphorus, nuff said.

 

[ChristopherT]

In Deus Ex Human Revolution I was with some punks, and things kind of set off. So I killed a few of them, then settled down in the corner, relaxed, but still two more of them were coming after me, so I shot them with tranqs to be kind. Then, i took the bodies, the dead, and living alike and piled them all together, so when the two sleeping punks woke up they'd be in a pile of their dead friends. Then I lightly pushed a soda machine on top of them, I don't know why.

Make your own choices! Tell the Council to get fucked! It's more fun!

Seriously, I just finished ME1 and had a lot of fun with my Captain Kirk morality. I still got more Paragon than Renegade because I did all the side missions and tried to save everyone's life. That seems about right. Kirk is a good man, he just doesn't care about rules.

OT: I did an evil playthrough of InFamous 2. Civilians were beneath my notice. I didn't bother to count how many I zapped, crushed, blew up, and otherwise destroyed. Treating people like ants is pretty evil. Then there were the ones I ate for energy....

There's also the kill scene in BioShock. That's a scripted moment, so I'm not sure it counts. I felt dirty afterwards.

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

Well in Bethesda games sometimes I create a new save file and basically become Dick Dastardly, only I kill people. Where that be enslaving the Capital Wasteland, luring Cazadores into towns, or forcing villagers to fight guards and get killed for my amusement. Then about 3 minutes after I've done something even remotely bad, I feel bad myself and reload my goodie goodie file...

There is a hilarious comic somewhere about that... but I can't for the life of me remember where it is!

Although I have a nagging feeling it is a Critical Miss, which would be embarrasing!

 

[KarmaTheAlligator]

Stealing everyone's clothes in Skyrim, so they all ended up "naked" in winter conditions. Sadly, none of them noticed.

 

[Rattja]

Usually I'm the type who wants to help everyone in the best possible way. If someone can be saved, I will reload the backup save until I get it right.
However I have done my share of killing over the years.
Sure you have Infamus, GTA, Fallout or hell, anything from Carmageddon! But the first thing that comes to mind is Black & White.

See, sacrificing children yields the most magic power used for miricals. The younger they are, the higher the reward.
Once I knew that, I built a kindergarden next to the temple and told every adult in my village to make children.
The result? Unlimmited power! Power I used to feed the remaining people so they could make more babies so I could toss more fireballs.

Either that or electrocute all the small children to get the cool looking evil wonder as fast as possible.

I also tought my creature some really nasty tricks once, like only pooping on small children and eating only men.

Come to think of it... there were also a character on one of the maps that could not die. He got tossed around, set on fire, left in the water for days and all sort of cruel things just to see if I could eventually kill him.

Oh, that also reminds me. Removing ladders after putting my Sims in the pool or putting them in a tiny room and then remove the door was also kinda cruel.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I don't know. I always play the hero so I don't often do anything evil. Although playing Overlord, and before anyone points out that you're supposed to be evil in that game there is the choice between Lawful Evil and Chaotic Evil, I condemned the entire Elven race to extinction. I also burned down their sacred tree. Both of those were by accident though, I was trying to be Lawful Evil.

 

[jdogtwodolla]

I've gone on killing rampages in open world games. Is there really anything more evil than that?

 

[DrStrangelove]

Pretty much anything I did in fallout 3, being evil is just more convenient, probably the highlight of this was when I blew up megaton because I wanted to have a base with a bed that wasn't dirty.

I recently played Fallout 3 again and I tend to kill everyone after I'm done with them. As soon as I finish a series of quests for someone I then kill them. Like in the Ghoul headquarters in the Museum of History in D.C., once I finished the quests for Moira Brown and got the companion from there I started throwing grenades throughout the place, it was glorious.

Skyrim, on the other hand, I try to play more realistically like an RPG. Although, as a nord I don't get along with elves, and I've taken that to the extreme and kill any elf I come across. Thalmor don't have a chance if I happen upon them.
