Sometimes I just can’t bring myself to be the bad guy, because either you get the worst possible ending (sorry, can’t suspend my disbelief enough to believe bad people actually get bad ends) or it just goes over the top.
For instance, in one franchise you can be bad, but it’s mostly rude comments, insults, maybe a couple betrayals here and there… Then BOOM surprise you just shot a kid in the back of the head.
I’m all for being a bad guy but it has to be a well-written and iltelligent bad guy that actually rivals the good version, not just stupidly plodding through the worst possible choice “because a bad guy wouldn’t care that he just crippled his fleet and lost the final battle, because he got mad that one of the admirals called him a hothead and crashed his ship into theirs”
Who am I kidding, the moment I betray someone I like, I’m going to bail and go back to being a good guy
Even in mass effect? Evil shepherd has some of the best dialogue. I never got as much satisfaction from a game when I let all the council dweebs die for being idiots.
RDR2 as well, some of the rude comments Arthur says are hilarious. And you’re a rough and tough cowboy so it kinda fits.
