Re: Playing "evil" in RPGs

I have a difficult time playing anything but good because I enjoy being good in games. It gives me fuzzy feelings to make characters happy or give them a second chance; doesn't matter that they're just pixels. If I can help I usually want to.

There are exceptions, but playing pure evil is almost impossible for me because I feel too guilty over it, to the point where I'm so disturbed that I'm not actually enjoying the game. There are some things I can justify doing (stealing in games like Skyrim, some of the renegade interrupts in ME, etc), but others I can't (there is no way in hell I'm ever getting through ME3 as a pure renegade. Some of the things you would have to do are appalling. And I can almost never kill innocent characters; it makes me feel like scum just thinking about it.)

The only game I've managed to go full evil with was Fable, I think. Those games are fun but there's fewer unique characters to get attached to (And you can't talk to them and form relationships with them on the same level as characters from, say, Mass Effect or Dragon Age), so it's easier to screw people over when they just seem like “civilian #28”.
