Light from Deathnote was pretty insanely evil by the end. What began as a desire to right wrongs in the world became twisted, and the power given to him corrupted him, until by the end he pretty much just wanted to be a god. It was all the more unnerving because even at this stage he believed he was doing the right thing, and because we actually got to see his decline into madness.
But then again, Lucien Fairfax shot my dog. I think that wins out in the end.
You forgot you sister? But I'll let that one pass because my dog being shot certainly was one of the most distressing moments in video game history.
Anyway this is a difficult one to call... So many evil ones! I can't decide!
Can I ask why SammiYin got a warning for his post?
To be perfectly honest, I (and I'm willing to believe that I'm not the only one) was thinking the same thing. I know that this might seem like trolling because of the backlash that various gods (but mainly the Christian/Judeo-~Christian one) get on this site but the fact remains that god in the Bible is a fucking evil character.
So can I get an answer?
Uh... Tzeentch, the Lord of Change, Master of Sorcery, the Great Schemer?
Just sayin, this is not only a Dark God who wants nothing but the destruction of all that is good and organised, but he knows all, makes his brother gods fight each other for his own kicks and giggles etc...
Damn... I thought I was gonna be the first to say that...
Although I must disagree with 'unexplained', I think of him as generally the grandfather of all madmen-antagonists out to become the one-and-only god and destroy the world because they think it's too imperfect.
Personally I would say Jerry mouse from Tom and Jerry- yes, the mouse, because even in the episodes where Tom is doing NOTHING wrong, Jerry still bullies him, AND YOU WILL ROOT FOR HIM! Tom is always seen as the villanous oppressor of little Jerry, even when he's not.
The player. No matter how well you set up your villains, what horrible plots and bottomless cruelty you channel into them, they can never even remotely compare to a player character left to its own devices.
Let's see... systematic slaughter of immigrants and nobles, exploding the pants of every NPC and then defiling their corpses, running over people by the thousands... yeah, we are the most vile of horrors.
As completely chaotic evil as that ruthless mountain of a man is... I find Cersei Lannister to be even worse. Neither have a single redeeming quality in my eyes, but at least Gregor is just a big dumb beast. Cersei is the kind of lawful evil that invents excuses for itself while it causes the deaths of tens of thousands.
Dolores Umbridge (Harry Potter): she's WORSE than Voldemort. she embodies everything wrong with human nature (much like Stan Lee's intentions for J. Jonah Jameson); she's bigoted, she's sadistic, she's racist, she's just pure evil. there's cool villains who are totally bad dudes, but you still like them. villains like Darth Vader or Scar. then, there's villains like THIS. villians so DESPICABLE, that you don't even love to hate them, you just HATE THEM. to me, THIS is a good villain.
Agent Ross and Bill Wiliamson's Gang
(Red Dead Redemption):
First up is Agent Ross. fuck this bastard. I can safely say that I got more satysfaction from sending his bullet-riddled body floating down the Rio Grande than anything else I've ever done in a video game. a close second is Williamson's gang from the mission "Hanging Bonnie MacFarlane". you get attached to Bonnie's character by this point, and hearing the scumbag talk about what the gang is probably doing to her brought my blood to a boil. suffice to say, no gang members walked away from the shoot-out that followed.
I love me a good villain, but I personally think the best villains are the ones who strike a nerve with the audience. Darth Vader's awesome, but we know there's good in him. plus, he's a total badass. even if he DIDN'T turn back to the light side, there still would've been something to like. Same with Biff from Back to the Future; awesome villain, he's a total asshole, no matter what time period, but he's still enjoyable to watch. But the best villains for me are the ones who make the audience HATE them. They're so awful that they become great.
Myrkul from Forgotten Realms fame, but most noted in MotB
It's really hard to get into all the stuff he did, but what was most notable was
He...
*) Help Bane and Bhaal become gods
*) Scared people into worshiping him
*) Sponsord necromancery
*) Dealt with fiends
*) Killd his chosen's girlfriend for no real reason
*) Turnd his chosen into a empty hunger that devours souls and spirits
*) (Depending on opinion) Developed the Wall of the Faithless as a punishment for atheists in Forgotten Realms
*) Ruled the afterlife as a cruel tyrant in order to scare people
*) Helped Bane steal the Tablets of Fate from Ao
He works well as a villain because you don?t see him till the ending of the second act. He doesn?t twirl his moustache at you, or make threats or demands. You are working for him, through him, without knowing it.
Here?s the conversation (http://lparchive.org/Neverwinter-Nights-2-Mask-of-the-Betrayer/Update%2031/), but the tl;dr version is that he is an asshole who is kept ?alive? by your suffering.
Possibly, but there is an argument that he sold out the earth so the Combine would deal with a mediator, rather than just round up, kill and or assimilate the entire human race. But like all interesting Half Life fan theories, Episode 3 can make or break it.
Probably Darth Sidious. I mean he had maniplate alot of stuff like the whole clone wars, rising to policital powers and toss his apprentices left and right as if he is replacing broken products.
