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

[Auron225]

Funny enough; I did take the non-lethal approach to that and I didn't realize until it was too late what I had done and how it was worse than death. I usually play the paladin when given the option but I rolled with this one rather than reloading. I'm not sure if it counts for me or against me that I wasn't trying to be evil in doing it; I genuinely thought at the time that it was the kinder thing to do.

Most of the non-lethals in that game are fates worse than death (except for having the one guy arrested, which is just slightly delayed death). Hell, if you non-lethal the priest you can find a weeper in priests robes with a note nearby that certainly sounds like it was that guy. Given a choice between just having my throat slit or dying of the plague in a gutter, well, one of those is quick.

Very true, and I also chose the priests "non-lethal" option but I knew when choosing that it was worse than death I don't know, I felt that priest had a more direct hand in the whole thing and if you look around journals and stuff in that level; you find other priests want to do away with "branding" but the Overseer wanted to keep it around. Since it was practically his weapon of choice, I thought there was a sick kind of irony to it Maybe I didn't pay as much attention or find enough extra info but I couldn't realise what exactly Lady Boyle had done to deserve death or why she needed to be gone so I chose what I thought it was the kinder option... obviously without dwelling on it as much as the Overseer.

Probably killing Nazeem after the umpteenth comment about me not being able to go into the Cloud District. Although, depending on the playthrough, I've killed a lot of NPC's.

That's not especially evil; it's almost expected. I'm convinced Nazeem was Bethesdas' attempt at creating an NPC infuriating enough that one might naturally get a bounty in Whiterun.

Everything I do in God of War III makes me feel kind of bad. I don't WANT what my character wants. I don't WANT to kill the Olympian gods, I don't WANT to murder every NPC that I come across, I don't WANT to bring the extinction of mankind over some petty notion of revenge.

When escaping from vault 101, I saved the guy who bullied mes mother from the radroaches, got his jacket as his reward and positive karma.

Then shot her.

Between the eyes.

Right in front of him.

I did it fer da experiuns pointz.

I was playing rust, and was brand new at it. Essentially all I knew came from that one Critical Miss comic, about dying in your sleep being anonymous.

So I spawned a little south of the hangar area, and built a small house. I explored north and discovered the hangar for the first time, and ran into a group of 8 friendly guys (they played in shifts so they were never defenseless) and they let me inside for a minute to hide from a bandit sniper. The server crashed while I was inside, and I logged off since it was around 11. I couldn't sleep knowing i was at someone else's mercy with my first gun, so i checked the server. It was back up, and nobody else was logged on. I logged in, and saw all 8 of my friendly, well-equipped saviors sleeping on the floor around me. I dispatched them with my rock, and stole everything. I jumped out the hole in the roof, as they were still building, and was about to run back to my house before i realized the door was locked. They would know it was an inside job, and I was the only suspect. So i rifled through my ill-gotten loot and found C4. I blew a hole in the side of their base, and went home.

Later, when i logged back on, they said they had been raided. "So thats why i respawned when i logged on?" They were arranging a raid with their rival group and had me provide what supplies I could. I assisted the raid and got the biggest cut of the loot for providing bandages and ammo.

They never found out it was me the whole time.

I've since learned its better to have friends than enemies so i havent raided in a while. I still feel bad about it.

Ah, how could I forget? Anyone who took the "new" ending added in Persona 4 Golden knows what i'm talking about. I tried it for completion's sake, and almost threw up. Was a complete affront to everything we'd worked for through my year in Inaba.

 

[busterkeatonrules]

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.

My motivation for blowing up Megaton was even less noble: I wanted to get Moria Brown to shut her yap.

Yeah. There wasn't a harsh enough 'Shut your yap, Moronia' - option in her dialogue, shooting her in the face would have lacked the desired impact, slaughtering the entire town (which I would pretty much have had to do after killing its main shopkeeper anyway) seemed too much hassle...

I set off the bomb. It was glorious. I trekked all the way back, just to see the smoking wreckage up close.

And then a certain newly-made ghoul approached me from behind...

Watch Dogs has me playing evil unintentionally. Emptying the bank accounts of cancer patients and other downtrodden folk. For being a vigilante he sure doesn't act like 1.

 

[PinkiePyro]

most games I play the nice guy no questions asked but there are the odd occasions I try to be bad I tried to kill off a whole town once only to feel bad about it and reload a prior save so I guess I am pretty well behaved although I do oddly enjoy dragging corpses around and I am a odd pickpocket if an NPC is a jerk I swipe all their stuff but I also often try to reverse pickpocket people by putting free gold in their pockets (oddly giving people stuff is a crime in skyrim)

 

[The Goat Tsar]

I almost never go for acts of evil in video games. I know, I'm a pussy. But I did say almost never. In SWTOR, I may have kinda blown up a ship full of civilians. Well, actually, I didn't do it, I just didn't stop someone else from doing it. Hey, I'm a bounty hunter working for the Empire, if an evil Sith person wants to do something, I tend to get out of the way so long as they pay me well.

In every other game though, I'm 100% light side/paragon/whatever you want to call it.

 

[VaughanyT]

I think almost everything I did in Spec Ops: The Line. Maybe it wasn't the WORST thing I had ever done in a video game, but out of everything, it certainly made me feel the most guilty.

It may not be voluntary, but all I need to say is white phosphorus and everyone who played Spec-Ops will have a chill. In terms of evil actions, I hate to admit it but I'm more of a prankster on games. GTA Online is a brilliant stage for annoyance. Like killing another player and strapping C4 to his car for when they respawn. Never. Gets. Old.

 

[Samael Barghest]

According to the twits on youtube I'm a evil bastard for killing Trevor at the end of GTA V.

 

[BathorysGraveland2]

Probably in Fallout 2. I was tasked with taking a look at this farm where all these corpses (which were in fact scarecrows) were hanging in display as warning. Well, upon looking around I fell down in a pit and held at gun point. I was told to follow them to see their leader. They ensured no hostile intentions, but I could not bring myself to believe them. A fight ensued, and I slaughtered them all. At first it seemed like the right idea, then I noticed my allies and I was gunning down unarmed ghouls as well, and there were some children hiding away. Well, we ascended to the surface and learned that they were simply trying to survive down there and were simply cautious of some well-armed travelers. I massacred an entire community of innocents.

So yeah, that.

First of all, DataSnake, VERY well put. I applaud you, sir or madame. Second, while most my escapades have already been mentioned, I did manage in my Dark Side play-throughs of KotOR to switch Jolee's and Juhani's lightsabers for dinky little swords just before Bastilla. And in Saint's Row 2, the hobos in the church basement that just. won't. leave. after you claim it, well, the gods do demand sacrifice, and sacrifice they shall receive. Sacrifice by the bite of the blade. Sacrifice by the snap of the neck. And, most definitely, sacrifice by the flame.

 

[TheWiseScarecrow]

In Dragon Age Origins I traded the possessed boys soul to the succubus for sex. I was just so damn curious.Oh, and I sacrificed his mother to do the ritual in the fist place.
