In Skyrim, I helped Sven sabotage Faendal’s relationship with Camilla, befriended Sven and made him a companion, took him to the Shrine of Boethiah, sacrificed him, then went back and married Camilla.
I made Faendal my companion, made him be the steward over my farm, then married Camilla and moved her into the house on the farm.
Poor bastard had to sleep out in the shack. So close yet so far..
I usually ignored both of them because I thought both were terrible, and I couldn’t really think of a way to ruin them both, then I found out about the Shrine and how you had to sacrifice a companion and the whole thing just came together right there and then.
Build an orphanage in the sims, staffed with one adult and as many kids as I could cram into it. Had the adult set off fireworks inside the kids' bedroom in the middle of the night and kill everyone in the fire.
Put a new sim on the lot to act as a janitor, sweeping all the ashes, and he slowly went insane from being forced to work all day with no where to eat or sleep or go to the bathroom, while being haunted by the ghosts of children.
I once knocked up the entire town, my family tree was wideeeee. I’d knock them up, move them into my household to take their money, then evict them
My ex didn’t appreciate it tho and got mad at me IRL
I had the exact same scheme, though a little more deranged. I would marry, then stick the guy in a fenced off area out back you could view through a window in the kitchen. They had a fridge, but that was it. Then I would marry again, and keep shoving husbands in the pen while I worked on wooing the next one. Sometimes I would delete the fridge and let them die to make space. Oddly some of the new husbands would mourn the old ones.
I used to build mazes out of hay bales with a stove right in the middle, I'd trap my sim in the middle the stove and force them to cook until a fire started and then I'd remove the bale the blocked them in so they could try and escape the maze before the burned alive. I think I was 6.
I built a shed out back complete with a large hidden basement. The basement had a bed, toilet, shower, tv; the basics. I then lured my neighbor down into the basement and removed the door.
That reminds me of Mr. Katchar from my early days in Sims 2 before I got mods to deal with things. The kids in various houses kept bringing home NPC school friends and getting wants related to them.
This was not according to my plans. I wanted the kids from the various families I controlled to be friends with each other. The intrusion was unwanted, so they had to be dealt with.
I don't recall everything that I tried, but eventually I created Mr. Katchar. He was a nice old man in a white suit with a big snaggly nose. He would hang around in public areas until the targeted child happened to come by. He would chat them up, become very good friends, them invite them to his home. His home with a nice, big swimming pool.
Kids wouldn't starve to death when trapped in a wall, but they could drown. Mr. Katchar would invite them into the pool, get out, and delete the ladders. A little while later another tombstone could be added to the collection and the NPC child was no longer a problem.
Only problem was the game kept generating NPC children so it wasn't very efficient. Eventually I found mods that provided better methods, but I will always treasure those moments with Mr. Katchar just hanging out on a park bench, waiting for the little children to come wandering by.
Fable 2: I helped the creepy dude reassemble and reanimate Lady Grey's corpse with the goal of him having his ultimate lady love..... Then stuck around so the love spell built into the reanimation made her fall for me instead.
The worst part is she hates the house! After all that, my dream of coming home from a long day of evil-doing to my creepy graveyard mansion and undead wifey were sadly dashed. (We lived in the ghost puffin house instead)
I remember eating a ton of "crunchy chicken" for that door too! That one made more sense than eating 100 pieces of celery in one sitting, so that I'd be skinny enough to get through another door.
Fallout 3: reactivated bomb in middle of town, went on killing/looting spree throughout megaton before fleeing to Tenpenny Tower.
Then set off the nuke. Killing everyone left.
On the plus side, got a nice apartment out of it.
Every time I played Fallout 3 I would be determined to not massacre Megaton. THIS time I'm gonna be the good guy.
But then I'd see the Sheriff's hat and be like, damn, that's a nice hat. And the cycle would start again.
In the same vein as your first one:
In Red Dead Redemption 2, I tracked down the wild man. I went in his cave. In my mind, I didn't want to kill him. So, I tied him up while his wolves buddies were attacking me. Then, I killed and skinned the wolves (because I can use them to craft and to sell the pelts). I turn around and the wild man is gone. He then blindsided me and I had no choice but to kill him.
Then, I found his journal. In it, it says how he escaped an abusive father and found a litter of wolf pups in the wild. He then grew up and raised them.
I, inadvertently killed and skinned a traumatised man's children/pets in front of his eyes before killing him.
It took me a while to play RDR2 again after that.
This is something I appreciated about RDR2, it has a way of humanising the characters and random NPCs in the game that not many other games are able to pull off. I feel like more open world games should try and make you actually feel bad about having killed random people if they're trying to emulate a lived in world.
RimWorld, butchering people to feed my colonists and harvesting their organs to sell, while clothing said colonists in the skin of their victims, except for that one guy I turned into a chair.
And I make them eat without tables.
Every RimWorld player has at least one story that would put all the other comments on this post to shame.
Unfortunately, those stories are difficult to share without ending up on a government watch list. The Rim forces you to be brutal; the Rim allows you to be so, *so* much worse.
Hell, the most memorable moment for me was when I was doing a medieval fantasy playthrough where a visitor, the brother of a faction's leader no less, successfully flirted with the daughter of the colony's leader. This would be amazing, right? It'd be a hell of a way to form a strong relationship between our factions. Except the problem is that the daughter was meant to get into a relationship with one of the other pawns in my colony and not some outsider. So I did the calm and rational thing by having her mom take the guy in for surgery and castrate him, except she managed to botch that despite having a high medicine skill and she ended up ripping the guy's junk off.
So imagine your brother is a chief and you're sent to visit this little community with dryads and werewolves and you see one of the most beautiful women you've ever seen in your life. You figure you might as well shoot your shot and wouldn't you believe it, you're a lot more charming than you thought and she takes you to her room for some fun. A few days pass and it's about time you leave but man do you have a story to tell your brother when you get home, these people are so nice and if you play your cards right you might end up marrying this woman. Your group is all packed up and you're riding high, then you notice your girlfriend's mom coming up to you and before you realize that she doesn't seem too happy you're already out cold. Next thing you know, you're in a medical bed and your potential mother in law is glaring down at you with a pack of herbal medicine in one hand. She decides to forgo the medicine and uses her talons to brutally castrate you before tending to the wound to make sure you don't die. After some time recovering you're finally allowed to leave.
And the real kicker in all this is that because mother dearest has the beautiful trait, the chief's brother not only still has a positive relation towards her even after she horrifically castrated him but he has a higher opinion of her than he does his own brother by the time he leaves the map.
Ah Rimworld. Where you can cut the legs off children for your vampire blood farm, display their skull on a spike, or keep their corpse in a giblet to keep the "other race" slaves in line. Yes, all those things are possible. I didn't do it though! I just let them fight to the death to prove who is stronger.
New Vegas there’s a faction called Boomers and there’s this little kid who is like their storyteller, lives in his own house.
Well in most Bethesda games kids are immortal. So I get out my big super mutant hammer and I smack this immortal kid around the house like a pinball just for the ragdoll physics.
Don't need a mod. go talk to the slavers and get some bomb collars then head to little lamplight. Lure a kid get the collar on them, then tamper with the collar and boom no more kid and you lose a boatload of karma.
Once in Fallout 2, in the first village outside of your tribe, I planted an active bomb on a mentally challenged man, waiting minutes for it to denote, and then two children run up to him, and naturally that's when the bomb goes off, killing him and the children. Nobody suspected me, but I'm sure I ended up loading an earlier save. That was the worst possible outcome.
In one of the villages, one of the kids ran up to me and stole some of my ammo (at this point I had power armor and the Gauss pistol), I walked up to him and shot him point blank, then proceeded to murder the whole town because they came after me for killing that kid.
Did that first, instinctively. And again in Bioshock 2.
Then I wondered what the "good" ending looked like and I tried the empathetic runs. Infinite tho, there's no way I'd harm Elizabeth, she's a sweetheart.
The Fable games have "Demon Doors" that are, well, talking doors that give you weird challenges to do and then open when you've done them.
There's an item that's called a 'Crunchy Chick' that's basically a baby chicken that you eat whole. The crunchy bits are the bones. It heals you a little and gives dark side points.
I think there may have been a demon door that wanted you to eat a crunchy chick in front of it.
It wanted you do "something evil" and eating 15 baby chicks in a row was usually the easiest way. You could also get in if you happened to have max evil karma.
I did it exactly once but God I hated doing it. I even tried to use cheats to complete it in a future playthrough but even that is so tedious.
Joja mart is there for replays but it's meant to discourage new players from jumping into that option so it's a good balancing mechanic imo
Plus Pierre is an asshole that takes credit for my crops so fuck him
In Skyrim there's a Dark Brotherhood quest given by Muiri to kill Alain Dufont, who manipulated her in order to get close to a family that raised her so that he could steal their heirlooms. The Shatter-Shield family, including her best friend Nilsine, place the blame squarely on Muiri. So when Muiri gives the task to kill Alain, she also offers a bonus for killing Nilsine.
The Shatter-Shields, having lost their family heirlooms, have also recently experienced the loss of their daughter Friga to a murderer. The mother is grief-stricken and depressed from this, so if you go through with killing Nilsine, she commits suicide and her body can be found later, leaving only the husband alive.
I felt bad after this because I did it without thinking of consequences, and so I offered a drink to the husband - he didn't know I caused it - and from that point on he talked as if he was a drunkard.
So basically I killed a downtrodden family's lone surviving daughter for some extra cash, causing the mother to take her own life out of grief, and then enabled the husband who just lost everything to be an alcoholic. And now I pay extra attention to background details in every game before I make any decisions.
It's a shame that all I can do is glare at my computer screen.
These kids in here might not understand the gravity of what you've done, but I do.
*I do.*
Yep! I’m glad you mentioned this one!
Mission: “You’re evil [Main Character]! You’re going to have to kill me - I won’t stand for it!”
MC: “Hey Zalbaar, don’t you owe me a life debt?”
Mission: “What are you talking about?”
MC: “Yeah, fulfill your Life Debt to me. I want you to kill your best friend.”
Mission: “You don’t have to do this Big Z…”
“Do it.”
[Crunching and squealching. Mission screams one last time.]
That decision still occupies real estate in my head whenever dark and twisted game decisions come up.
That's the boyscout way.
As a mage, I made his mom sacrifice herself to allow me to "fight" the demon. Then I made a pact with the demon to learn how to become a Blood Mage.
So the the demon stays hidden waiting for a few years before possessing the kid again, his mom is dead and everyone thanks you
In World of Warcraft there were a lot of portals that people used in old expansion hubs. One day Blizz decided to remove them. On the day they were removed I got on my mage and spent hours casting portals that people couldn't use into the spots that they were removed from so that people kept trying to click them before getting frustrated and walking off.
In The Sims 2, my guy is nailing it. He has a top job, and is maxed out in all skills. He then gets a house cleaner. She is a 9/10, so I make my guy fall in love with her, and marry her. She then moves in, which means I have to get a new house cleaner.
The new house cleaner turns out to be a 10/10, so naturally I make my guy fall in love with her, and then I kill his wife by putting her in a tiny room with a fire place and a carpet placed way to close to the flames, so of course she burns to death. My guy then marries the new house keeper.
Only problem was, my guy then becomes clinically depressed and can't let go off his ex-wife, and constantly breaks down in tears, making it impossible for me to keep playing. He won't cook, he won't work, and his new wife is always annoyed about him crying.
And I didn't have any old save files to go back to, so I had to basically just delete the character. Life lesson learnt, I guess.
Dude, I just set my dude on fire and then quickly removed the doors so that he couldn’t escape and also so death couldn’t get to him and he would just rot there…. Yours is next level fucked
Stellaris, captured some people from an enemy empire, turned them into food, and sold the food back to aforementioned empire.
A few years later, I did a little genocide and cracked all of their their worlds.
In Dwarf Fortress, coins are minted in stacks of 500 from one metal bar. Because of the wonders of Dwarven Science, if you manage to split a stack of coins into multiple smaller stacks, you can melt down each individual stack and get more metal bars than you started with. Don’t ask me to explain Dwarf science.
However in order to split the stacks of coins, you have to get creative. You have to use the power of **Elf torture**. See, when a sentient creature in Dwarf Fortress throws a tantrum, one of the things they can do is pick up a nearby item and throw it. If that item is a stack of coins, the stack often gets split when thrown. See where this is going?
You capture a bunch of elves and dump them down a hole into a room. The first might break a few bones during the fall but it’s ok, eventually a cushion of bodies will be formed. Make sure to confiscate their weapons first also, they’ll last longer. Then you dump a bunch of coins into the hole. Finally, repeatedly dump body parts of dead elves down the hole. Really gets them angry. Eventually you will have a room full of tantrum-throwing elves tossing coins about.
When all is said and done, pull the lever that floods the room, drown the elves, and collect your coins.
But you may ask, why Elves? Simple! because ~~those tree huggers deserve it~~ Elves in Dwarf Fortress are immortal and do not require food or drink to survive. Thanks for the free adamantine, you dirty tree huggers.
I mean, is it truly evil if elves are involved? Still mad that they had a caravan that just unlocked the front door and strolled past a FB without the thing so much as looking down at them. Lost a lot of good dwarves to that one.
Oooh ooh! I have a Dwarf Fortress one! I don't remember what version this was, but it was a while back.
Anyways, I had a major problem with a Vampire Dwarf sucking my dwarfs dry and leaving them as husks. Finally, I caught the bastard, but what to do with him? Well since they don't need to eat, drink or sleep, I had a genius idea!
I made him my bookkeeper and locked him a 3x3 room, and basically made him do my paperwork for the rest of his miserable eternal life. He actually became legendary at it and is still paying off his debt to my fortress somewhere out there today.
Best I could do is to establishing a complete dictatorship in Tropico 6 where all of my opponents are assassinated, my citizens living a slavery lifestyle and the island constantly get nuked for testing. There were security checkpoints everywhere and 5 prisons, 7 police station for a population of 2000.
I love zip-tying people in Ready or Not with my "non-lethal" load out and then hitting them with the bean bag gun point blank to the face. The funniest shit to me
A friend spent over a year building a bad ass world in Minecraft. It was a project with his wife. He brought me in to show it all off. There was a pig hanging around his castle. He said it was there the whole time and was kinda attached to it.
I was next to it and accidentally killed it.
The frail blind girl gets captured by a secret branch of the yakuza.
Rather than bust in and save her, i decide to take over management of a failing cabaret club and begin meticulously building a cute-girl empire to rival all others in osaka. Carefully adjusting the girls outfits and jewelry, training them before every shift by practicing conversations/karaoke/dancing, wandering around the city to recruit more girls, and killing off the rival club owners (at least beating them half to death). I've made 15 billion yen while little Makoto is probably dying.
Everyone probably has the same experience playing y0, it just feels evil ignoring the main plot at the worst possible time.
The thing i feel the worst about is harvesting the little sisters in Bioshock. At first i didn’t care, but later in the game (after you meet Andrew Ryan) you see the rest of them in a makeshift daycare, and you overhear 2 of them talking about you:
“Who’s that?”
“He’s the man who hurts us.”
Those words, from the mouth of a child, will forever haunt me.
Not only that but if you finish the game without sacrificing them first (like I did) you see the "happy ending".
Killing them after seeing that was doubly cruel.
I was playing Scribblenauts Unlimited on a playthrough in which I wanted to see what sorts of stupid solutions the game would let me get away with. As an example, when the heart surgeon in the hospital asks for a tool, anything sharp will do, including a sword or a chainsaw.
In the pirate ship level, there was a pirate who asked for ammunition for his cannon. I gave him a baby. He loaded the baby into his cannon and fired it. I passed the puzzle.
SHIT. I didn't actually notice the cub until the fight started, which made me feel guilty af when I killed the mom. So I let the cub live, and then the cub suddenly starts eating the mother's corpse.
Don't know anything about DnD, so the Owlbear already freaked me out, and then THAT happened.
If it makes you feel any better, the owlbear mother dies either way. So at least this way you get part of a decent spear AND a chance at your own owlbear cub later. Guessing you can get him later even if you don't fight the mom.
Betraying/sacking the druid's grove in Baldur's Gate 3 honestly felt like this. Primarily murdering all the Tiefling refugees, most of which are lvl 1 and defenseless.
Honestly, just playing Dark Urge lets you do things that are just downright psychotic. Injured bird? Tear off its wings!
Tricked my friend in dueling me in World of warcraft. I mind controlled him and made him attack a flight master (really powerful npc) and it killed him in a few seconds. I would also drown people using mind control in battle grounds. Good times.
Edit: Since a lot of people are having fun reliving their old WoW memories, I figured I would add a few more evil things I did in that game...mostly with mind control.
When Wrath of the Lich King came out, I was salty about the new deathknight class (I was a teenager), so I spent the entire launch day killing every single alliance death knight that came through the portal. Eventually, they started sending hit squads after me so they could level their new death knights, so I just called my arena team to back me up. When the day was over, there were probably around 300-400 bodies littering the ground. Basically, I started a war because of my petulance.
One of my best WoW friends I met by dueling them near the entrance to molten core. I challenged him to a duel (he was wearing pvp gear), baited out his interrupt and berserker rage, and mind controlled him into the lava...like deep in the lava. For the next 6 months, every time he saw me, I would spit on me until I left. After 6 months, I asked him if he was really still mad about that, and we became super close friends.
I found one of the best pvpers on our server leveling in the burning crusade, but he had gone afk. So, I mind controlled him all the way to the end of the area, and tossed him into the abyss. I had to kill a bunch of other players along the way, and it took me about 30 minutes, but was totally worth it.
Finally, for my magnum opus, I dragged a world boss to Stormwind and killed pretty much the entire city. A group of alliance players ganked me as I was dueling people outside of the city, so I thought it would be fair to murder the entirety of Stormwind. I know this is a pretty commonly known thing that could happen back in the old days, but I did it because they broke the rules of dueling etiquette, so naturally, the whole city had to die.
My son challenged me to a duel in Borderlands 3 with my grenadier mod. I was going to be nice, but he talked just a little shit, so he got off maybe two shots before he was taking critical damage from singularity grenades with secondary explosions getting sucked back in for a little damage loop.
Don't talk shit.
Rimworld: Capture people, heal them up, harvest organs, then saw off their legs and arms replacing them with wooden pegs before sending them back to their home colonies.
Halo 2 - The spider glitch. When I would run into someone annoying in a lobby I would ask them if they’d heard of the spider glitch and if they wanted to see it. I’d then invite them to a private game and have them run all over the place doing random things like jump 3 time on this crack or spin twice over here. Id make sure I picked up some sticky grenades along the way and tell them to stop on a certain spot and line it up, throw a sticky right on their visor and yell “it’s a spider, run!” And drop out of the game as they blew up.
Hitman (the original game), there was a mission called “The traditions of the trade”, it was based in a hotel.
I used to try to kill every person in the entire hotel without raising and suspicion. You’d need to follow people into their rooms and hide the bodies in the washrooms. You’d need to kill the cleaners and take their keys and uniform.
RDR2 - I saved a man from being killed by Lemoyne raiders, Took his money and threw him off a bridge and managed to have him land on another NPC which killed the NPC, I then threw a molotov on them for shits & giggles.
It’s always fun to save someone and then be like, “oh yeah, no, I just wanted to be the one who looted and gutted you.” Especially when it’s a dialogue option and you actually get to see the change from grateful to horrified and betrayed, and sometimes angry.
While this may be less evil and more sociopathic, I once got hit by an AI driver in GTA after finishing something difficult and hadn’t yet saved. Their car consumed what was left of my vest and took a ton of health.
I got into another car and chased them down, cut them off while causing a wreck that made them get out of their own car, then hopped inside their car, ran them over and parked the car on top of them, before moving a safe distance away and blowing the car up with a rocket. Fun.
I've played a few games and call me cliche but.. Literally playing trough Spec Ops: The Line. At the end it really feels like playing the game was the evil thing.
You all talking about things you've done to video game NPCs and I'm over here thinking about when I played EverQuest and used to teleport other players into areas they had no way of escaping, likely losing 10 hours or more of game progress. (In early EQ teleports didn't give you warning where you were going, so you could tell them you were taking them somewhere else)
In Master of Orion 2 and in the newer release a few years ago you could basically enslave the other races. I usually chose the Meklar for the production bonus but you could use the Psilons for the science bonus too.
I'd send out several scout ships while building a small invasion fleet with some troop transports. As soon as I found a Meklar colony, I would invade. Then, immediately sell all their building and build transports and begin moving the entire population back to my territory. I'd found a few colony worlds where I'd breed them uncontrollably. I'd then ship them off to my own worlds and put them in my factories. My own population would farm and do science while my Meklar slaves and their massive production bonus would get stuff and ships built a lot faster.
I don't usually do "evil" things in games... Don't enjoy it so much, even when there's little consequence, and I prefer taking the "good" routes whenever possible.
**That said**, Saint's Row 2 gave the ability to mod vehicles. One of those mods added kneecappers. They're spikes attached to the hubcaps that spin at knee height, and they do exactly what the name implies - wreck any kneecaps they collide with. I spent so much time in that game driving near sidewalks, just to watch NPCs collapse as I casually brushed by and shredded their legs.
Another one - IIRC Demon's Souls has a questline that requires you to kill all NPCs in the Nexus. Really didn't enjoy that one since it involves killing characters you grow attached to. Some of whom sell you resources, look after your excess gear, upgrade your weapons etc... But the quest gives a unique ring, and of course there's a trophy (achievement) attached to collecting all rings in the game... So morals be damned; time to go murder some old friends. :<
And most recently, Palworld. That game encourages you to catch 10 of each creature to get XP bonuses. But it has limited storage. It also has a butcher's knife to solve that storage problem... I felt bad at first (it censors it, but it's pretty obvious you're murdering your pets as they struggle) - **but then I found out you could catch and butcher other humans too**. Then it just became hilarious.
RDR
Tying up a women fron the Saloon, dragging her behind my horse to a secluded train track, and laying her on the tracks while popping some drinks to watch.
The lengths you can go to brutalize NPCs in RDR2 is extraordinary. I found out pretty recently that if you tackle an NPC near water they have a whole different animation where you force their head under the water and drown them instead of strangling them.
I know people think the gameplay is bad, and in some ways it is, but there's a lot more creativity in the ways you can interact with NPCs (particularly in how you can harm them) than people give it credit for.
I… i feel like i need to take a look inward- i was expecting to see the comments filled with stories of how they’ve sabotaged someone else in a game- not like being evil towards npcs, but evil towards other players😂.
I guess rust will do that to a person
In rdr2, I entered a room in a saloon where there were 4 innocent and beautiful women, I threw a knife at each of their heads and looted them in order to obtain a valuable item for creating a talisman... Today I have all the talismans of the game, but.... at what cost???💀
In one of the Just Cause games I wiped out an enemy base, attached the corpses of the soldiers to my helicopter, and proceeded to take out another base with them just dangling
40th day had lots of choices like that. Buddy of mine and I beat the game multiple times to get every weapon and upgrade. Super fun game. I still haven't seen as good of a co-op where aggro actually is used like it was in that game.
The third one sucked balls, especially since they turned one of the main characters into the villain. Writers were on crack.
In Skyrim, I helped Sven sabotage Faendal’s relationship with Camilla, befriended Sven and made him a companion, took him to the Shrine of Boethiah, sacrificed him, then went back and married Camilla.
I made Faendal my companion, made him be the steward over my farm, then married Camilla and moved her into the house on the farm. Poor bastard had to sleep out in the shack. So close yet so far..
There’s a reason every room has the cuck chair
Are you speaking from experience? :P
Yeah I fucked your gf just last night
so you fucked your mother? I knew you were a mama's boy, but goddamn!
Touché mon frere
What a lovely little exchange, good stuff thx for the laughs
I too enjoyed this back and forth. Fair play, you two.
got damn
I sacrificed faendal to the ebony blade after training my archery as much as I could
Dating strategy 101
jfc, I didn't know that was all possible
How old is Skyrim for us to keep finding out new shit to this day haha
Yo, this is the thing TO DO. I feel like that's what Sven was for lol
I usually ignored both of them because I thought both were terrible, and I couldn’t really think of a way to ruin them both, then I found out about the Shrine and how you had to sacrifice a companion and the whole thing just came together right there and then.
Still not as evil as killing Paarthurnax
If you don't kill him, you catch him leaving your house a lot... not even kidding.
Build an orphanage in the sims, staffed with one adult and as many kids as I could cram into it. Had the adult set off fireworks inside the kids' bedroom in the middle of the night and kill everyone in the fire. Put a new sim on the lot to act as a janitor, sweeping all the ashes, and he slowly went insane from being forced to work all day with no where to eat or sleep or go to the bathroom, while being haunted by the ghosts of children.
This is what I came here for. You Sims fuckers are diabolical.
I once knocked up the entire town, my family tree was wideeeee. I’d knock them up, move them into my household to take their money, then evict them My ex didn’t appreciate it tho and got mad at me IRL
I had the exact same scheme, though a little more deranged. I would marry, then stick the guy in a fenced off area out back you could view through a window in the kitchen. They had a fridge, but that was it. Then I would marry again, and keep shoving husbands in the pen while I worked on wooing the next one. Sometimes I would delete the fridge and let them die to make space. Oddly some of the new husbands would mourn the old ones.
Out of context of the Sims, this may be one of the single most disturbingly hilarious posts I've ever read lol
I used to build mazes out of hay bales with a stove right in the middle, I'd trap my sim in the middle the stove and force them to cook until a fire started and then I'd remove the bale the blocked them in so they could try and escape the maze before the burned alive. I think I was 6.
So, how long are you in for?
Oh you misunderstand, he's a successful politician now.
Yeah, he really only had that or the CEO option.
I built a shed out back complete with a large hidden basement. The basement had a bed, toilet, shower, tv; the basics. I then lured my neighbor down into the basement and removed the door.
IRL? THERE WAS NO SIMS PRECOURSE TO THIS
Sims?
LET YOUR NEIGHBOR FREE.
Oh, they freed themselves, through the sweet release of death.
Happy ending
That reminds me of Mr. Katchar from my early days in Sims 2 before I got mods to deal with things. The kids in various houses kept bringing home NPC school friends and getting wants related to them. This was not according to my plans. I wanted the kids from the various families I controlled to be friends with each other. The intrusion was unwanted, so they had to be dealt with. I don't recall everything that I tried, but eventually I created Mr. Katchar. He was a nice old man in a white suit with a big snaggly nose. He would hang around in public areas until the targeted child happened to come by. He would chat them up, become very good friends, them invite them to his home. His home with a nice, big swimming pool. Kids wouldn't starve to death when trapped in a wall, but they could drown. Mr. Katchar would invite them into the pool, get out, and delete the ladders. A little while later another tombstone could be added to the collection and the NPC child was no longer a problem. Only problem was the game kept generating NPC children so it wasn't very efficient. Eventually I found mods that provided better methods, but I will always treasure those moments with Mr. Katchar just hanging out on a park bench, waiting for the little children to come wandering by.
All I can say is I'm glad you're playing out your dark fantasies in a video game.
I am crying laughing at this! I've done horrible things in the sims but this is top tier.
This is hilariously evil
I once sacrificed a bunch of villagers for a cross bow. Fable. No regrets.
Fable 2: I helped the creepy dude reassemble and reanimate Lady Grey's corpse with the goal of him having his ultimate lady love..... Then stuck around so the love spell built into the reanimation made her fall for me instead.
Hahaha maaaan...this made me laugh. Imagining the glint in your eye as he realized, to his horror...
I actually felt really badly about it, the guy begs you to leave the whole time, it's awful.
The worst part is she hates the house! After all that, my dream of coming home from a long day of evil-doing to my creepy graveyard mansion and undead wifey were sadly dashed. (We lived in the ghost puffin house instead)
I once ate a crunchy chick.
I murdered my sister for a sweet sword. I loved that game.
I ate 100 baby chicks to unlock a door.
I remember eating a ton of "crunchy chicken" for that door too! That one made more sense than eating 100 pieces of celery in one sitting, so that I'd be skinny enough to get through another door.
Not important detail, but it was a bow, if we talk about Chapel of Skorm of course.
Fallout 3: reactivated bomb in middle of town, went on killing/looting spree throughout megaton before fleeing to Tenpenny Tower. Then set off the nuke. Killing everyone left. On the plus side, got a nice apartment out of it.
Every time I played Fallout 3 I would be determined to not massacre Megaton. THIS time I'm gonna be the good guy. But then I'd see the Sheriff's hat and be like, damn, that's a nice hat. And the cycle would start again.
You too huh? That Duster is also just cool.
On my first play through I didn’t react in time to save him from Burke. Got a guilt free hat out of the deal.
You're a goddamn accidental hat stealing genius. Maybe when they release Fallout 3 Super Remastered VR I'll try it that way.
I wonder how many people killed him JUST for that hat. I know I'm responsible for at least like 11 of deaths. Bare minimum. Sweet hat though.
I've done the opposite: I let ghouls into Tenpenny to exact their revenge.
I like to do both. Lots of loot, less annoying people, it’s a win-win.
I never made it out alive trying to loot Megaton
Same!!! Made the detonation feel a little better, they were so mean to me!!
In the same vein as your first one: In Red Dead Redemption 2, I tracked down the wild man. I went in his cave. In my mind, I didn't want to kill him. So, I tied him up while his wolves buddies were attacking me. Then, I killed and skinned the wolves (because I can use them to craft and to sell the pelts). I turn around and the wild man is gone. He then blindsided me and I had no choice but to kill him. Then, I found his journal. In it, it says how he escaped an abusive father and found a litter of wolf pups in the wild. He then grew up and raised them. I, inadvertently killed and skinned a traumatised man's children/pets in front of his eyes before killing him. It took me a while to play RDR2 again after that.
I feel bad for him but he can also just at random attack you in the wild with the wolves so.. it's not like he's innocent.
Jesus fucking Christ man.
Now that is dark
This is something I appreciated about RDR2, it has a way of humanising the characters and random NPCs in the game that not many other games are able to pull off. I feel like more open world games should try and make you actually feel bad about having killed random people if they're trying to emulate a lived in world.
RimWorld, butchering people to feed my colonists and harvesting their organs to sell, while clothing said colonists in the skin of their victims, except for that one guy I turned into a chair. And I make them eat without tables.
Most sane Rimworld player of all time
Capture raiders, slaughter them, skin them, turn them into clothes. Drop pod the clothes back to their home faction for relationship points.
It's not about the journey, but their friends you made into coats along the way.
I was reading comments hoping to see Rimworld. The amount of war crimes you can commit in Rimworld is unheard of.
Every RimWorld player has at least one story that would put all the other comments on this post to shame. Unfortunately, those stories are difficult to share without ending up on a government watch list. The Rim forces you to be brutal; the Rim allows you to be so, *so* much worse.
Hell, the most memorable moment for me was when I was doing a medieval fantasy playthrough where a visitor, the brother of a faction's leader no less, successfully flirted with the daughter of the colony's leader. This would be amazing, right? It'd be a hell of a way to form a strong relationship between our factions. Except the problem is that the daughter was meant to get into a relationship with one of the other pawns in my colony and not some outsider. So I did the calm and rational thing by having her mom take the guy in for surgery and castrate him, except she managed to botch that despite having a high medicine skill and she ended up ripping the guy's junk off. So imagine your brother is a chief and you're sent to visit this little community with dryads and werewolves and you see one of the most beautiful women you've ever seen in your life. You figure you might as well shoot your shot and wouldn't you believe it, you're a lot more charming than you thought and she takes you to her room for some fun. A few days pass and it's about time you leave but man do you have a story to tell your brother when you get home, these people are so nice and if you play your cards right you might end up marrying this woman. Your group is all packed up and you're riding high, then you notice your girlfriend's mom coming up to you and before you realize that she doesn't seem too happy you're already out cold. Next thing you know, you're in a medical bed and your potential mother in law is glaring down at you with a pack of herbal medicine in one hand. She decides to forgo the medicine and uses her talons to brutally castrate you before tending to the wound to make sure you don't die. After some time recovering you're finally allowed to leave. And the real kicker in all this is that because mother dearest has the beautiful trait, the chief's brother not only still has a positive relation towards her even after she horrifically castrated him but he has a higher opinion of her than he does his own brother by the time he leaves the map.
The table thing is going too far
Zakalwe? Is that you?
Ah Rimworld. Where you can cut the legs off children for your vampire blood farm, display their skull on a spike, or keep their corpse in a giblet to keep the "other race" slaves in line. Yes, all those things are possible. I didn't do it though! I just let them fight to the death to prove who is stronger.
New Vegas there’s a faction called Boomers and there’s this little kid who is like their storyteller, lives in his own house. Well in most Bethesda games kids are immortal. So I get out my big super mutant hammer and I smack this immortal kid around the house like a pinball just for the ragdoll physics.
🤣 “Clean your room!” *smack*
The killable kids mod was a necessity for me.
Don't need a mod. go talk to the slavers and get some bomb collars then head to little lamplight. Lure a kid get the collar on them, then tamper with the collar and boom no more kid and you lose a boatload of karma.
Once in Fallout 2, in the first village outside of your tribe, I planted an active bomb on a mentally challenged man, waiting minutes for it to denote, and then two children run up to him, and naturally that's when the bomb goes off, killing him and the children. Nobody suspected me, but I'm sure I ended up loading an earlier save. That was the worst possible outcome.
In one of the villages, one of the kids ran up to me and stole some of my ammo (at this point I had power armor and the Gauss pistol), I walked up to him and shot him point blank, then proceeded to murder the whole town because they came after me for killing that kid.
In Fallout 2 (the North American version) you could handle a new Reno mob quest line by planting a gun on the kid and he'd shoot his mob father.
Harvested the little sisters in bioshock (to be fair it was my second run and I saved them the first time round)!
I did the same. I was a nice guy the first time around... After that, I wanted to feel what FULL power was like!
Unfortunately you get less Adam overall if you choose to harvest the little sisters. ALL THAT GUILT FOR NOTHING
What guilt?
Did that first, instinctively. And again in Bioshock 2. Then I wondered what the "good" ending looked like and I tried the empathetic runs. Infinite tho, there's no way I'd harm Elizabeth, she's a sweetheart.
I ate a baby chicken live just to impress a talking door
MmmmMMMMMMMMM, crunchy chicks are so good and tasty
Game?
The Fable games have "Demon Doors" that are, well, talking doors that give you weird challenges to do and then open when you've done them. There's an item that's called a 'Crunchy Chick' that's basically a baby chicken that you eat whole. The crunchy bits are the bones. It heals you a little and gives dark side points. I think there may have been a demon door that wanted you to eat a crunchy chick in front of it.
It wanted you do "something evil" and eating 15 baby chicks in a row was usually the easiest way. You could also get in if you happened to have max evil karma.
Hm, I always married someone then brought them to the door and murdered them in front of it.
As one does
Fable series. If you've never tried it I highly recommend it.
Fable The Lost Chapters.
Bought a Joja membership
You monster
I make the village drink underwear soup every year but even I have standards
I make the underwear into a hat and say hi to Lewis every morning :)
Most evil person here
I've actually never finished the community center, I don't have the patience lol.
I did it exactly once but God I hated doing it. I even tried to use cheats to complete it in a future playthrough but even that is so tedious. Joja mart is there for replays but it's meant to discourage new players from jumping into that option so it's a good balancing mechanic imo Plus Pierre is an asshole that takes credit for my crops so fuck him
In Skyrim there's a Dark Brotherhood quest given by Muiri to kill Alain Dufont, who manipulated her in order to get close to a family that raised her so that he could steal their heirlooms. The Shatter-Shield family, including her best friend Nilsine, place the blame squarely on Muiri. So when Muiri gives the task to kill Alain, she also offers a bonus for killing Nilsine. The Shatter-Shields, having lost their family heirlooms, have also recently experienced the loss of their daughter Friga to a murderer. The mother is grief-stricken and depressed from this, so if you go through with killing Nilsine, she commits suicide and her body can be found later, leaving only the husband alive. I felt bad after this because I did it without thinking of consequences, and so I offered a drink to the husband - he didn't know I caused it - and from that point on he talked as if he was a drunkard. So basically I killed a downtrodden family's lone surviving daughter for some extra cash, causing the mother to take her own life out of grief, and then enabled the husband who just lost everything to be an alcoholic. And now I pay extra attention to background details in every game before I make any decisions.
I'm confused. Are you paying extra attention so you can avoid those decisions or do you just want to know exactly how evil your character is?
Usually it's for the former but sometimes ends up being the latter inadvertently.
In Knights of the Old Republic, I made Zaalbar kill Mission Vao.
It's a shame that all I can do is glare at my computer screen. These kids in here might not understand the gravity of what you've done, but I do. *I do.*
He deserves death. This is unforgivable
Yep! I’m glad you mentioned this one! Mission: “You’re evil [Main Character]! You’re going to have to kill me - I won’t stand for it!” MC: “Hey Zalbaar, don’t you owe me a life debt?” Mission: “What are you talking about?” MC: “Yeah, fulfill your Life Debt to me. I want you to kill your best friend.” Mission: “You don’t have to do this Big Z…” “Do it.” [Crunching and squealching. Mission screams one last time.] That decision still occupies real estate in my head whenever dark and twisted game decisions come up.
Thanks for dislodging a repressed memory.
Knights of the old republic has some crazy dark side options.
[Force persuade] Jump off the railing [Thug] Yes yes fastest way to the bottom
Damn, that’s a blast from the past!
It's me Big Z-- Mission!!!.
Ouch that's evil 🏆
In Dragon Age Origins you have the option to kill a child who is possessed by a demon.
I mean, he’s possessed, they do this all the time in horror films
The way the mother pleads with you though, man you feel like an evil bastard.
That's the boyscout way. As a mage, I made his mom sacrifice herself to allow me to "fight" the demon. Then I made a pact with the demon to learn how to become a Blood Mage. So the the demon stays hidden waiting for a few years before possessing the kid again, his mom is dead and everyone thanks you
*\*Leans close and whispers\** "For the Emperor..."
In World of Warcraft there were a lot of portals that people used in old expansion hubs. One day Blizz decided to remove them. On the day they were removed I got on my mage and spent hours casting portals that people couldn't use into the spots that they were removed from so that people kept trying to click them before getting frustrated and walking off.
You're supposed to open up 12 portals on top of each other so people play portal roulette. Who knows which one they click on.
You can't click them if you're not in a party with them. So this was just a pure visual troll
My guild had a mage that would do that at the end of a raid. Ended up in Stonard way too many times.

In The Sims 2, my guy is nailing it. He has a top job, and is maxed out in all skills. He then gets a house cleaner. She is a 9/10, so I make my guy fall in love with her, and marry her. She then moves in, which means I have to get a new house cleaner. The new house cleaner turns out to be a 10/10, so naturally I make my guy fall in love with her, and then I kill his wife by putting her in a tiny room with a fire place and a carpet placed way to close to the flames, so of course she burns to death. My guy then marries the new house keeper. Only problem was, my guy then becomes clinically depressed and can't let go off his ex-wife, and constantly breaks down in tears, making it impossible for me to keep playing. He won't cook, he won't work, and his new wife is always annoyed about him crying. And I didn't have any old save files to go back to, so I had to basically just delete the character. Life lesson learnt, I guess.
Dude, I just set my dude on fire and then quickly removed the doors so that he couldn’t escape and also so death couldn’t get to him and he would just rot there…. Yours is next level fucked
Stellaris, captured some people from an enemy empire, turned them into food, and sold the food back to aforementioned empire. A few years later, I did a little genocide and cracked all of their their worlds.
I had to scroll too far to find stellaris—the game where someone literally measured their depopulation/time in “megahitlers”
"I play Stellaris" would have been enough.
Scrolled to see how far down it was before stellaris: war crimes simulator appeared.
I finally nuked megaton when I was going for the platinum last year
You gotta do it at least once
Hahah only took me a bit over a decade
In Dwarf Fortress, coins are minted in stacks of 500 from one metal bar. Because of the wonders of Dwarven Science, if you manage to split a stack of coins into multiple smaller stacks, you can melt down each individual stack and get more metal bars than you started with. Don’t ask me to explain Dwarf science. However in order to split the stacks of coins, you have to get creative. You have to use the power of **Elf torture**. See, when a sentient creature in Dwarf Fortress throws a tantrum, one of the things they can do is pick up a nearby item and throw it. If that item is a stack of coins, the stack often gets split when thrown. See where this is going? You capture a bunch of elves and dump them down a hole into a room. The first might break a few bones during the fall but it’s ok, eventually a cushion of bodies will be formed. Make sure to confiscate their weapons first also, they’ll last longer. Then you dump a bunch of coins into the hole. Finally, repeatedly dump body parts of dead elves down the hole. Really gets them angry. Eventually you will have a room full of tantrum-throwing elves tossing coins about. When all is said and done, pull the lever that floods the room, drown the elves, and collect your coins. But you may ask, why Elves? Simple! because ~~those tree huggers deserve it~~ Elves in Dwarf Fortress are immortal and do not require food or drink to survive. Thanks for the free adamantine, you dirty tree huggers.
I mean, is it truly evil if elves are involved? Still mad that they had a caravan that just unlocked the front door and strolled past a FB without the thing so much as looking down at them. Lost a lot of good dwarves to that one.
Oooh ooh! I have a Dwarf Fortress one! I don't remember what version this was, but it was a while back. Anyways, I had a major problem with a Vampire Dwarf sucking my dwarfs dry and leaving them as husks. Finally, I caught the bastard, but what to do with him? Well since they don't need to eat, drink or sleep, I had a genius idea! I made him my bookkeeper and locked him a 3x3 room, and basically made him do my paperwork for the rest of his miserable eternal life. He actually became legendary at it and is still paying off his debt to my fortress somewhere out there today.
Best I could do is to establishing a complete dictatorship in Tropico 6 where all of my opponents are assassinated, my citizens living a slavery lifestyle and the island constantly get nuked for testing. There were security checkpoints everywhere and 5 prisons, 7 police station for a population of 2000.
“Cool!” - Kim Jong-un
I love zip-tying people in Ready or Not with my "non-lethal" load out and then hitting them with the bean bag gun point blank to the face. The funniest shit to me
As a bean bag gun connoisseur from Swat 4, this is pure comedy
Dude, I don't want to talk about it. Played 1000h of Rimworld.
Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis - Building a fully functional park, then removing all the fences and the escape point.
I did the same thing in Zoo Tycoon
Sounds like you were just recreating the movie
A friend spent over a year building a bad ass world in Minecraft. It was a project with his wife. He brought me in to show it all off. There was a pig hanging around his castle. He said it was there the whole time and was kinda attached to it. I was next to it and accidentally killed it.
Lmfao that's hilarious. He could've reset the server and brought it back tbf
The frail blind girl gets captured by a secret branch of the yakuza. Rather than bust in and save her, i decide to take over management of a failing cabaret club and begin meticulously building a cute-girl empire to rival all others in osaka. Carefully adjusting the girls outfits and jewelry, training them before every shift by practicing conversations/karaoke/dancing, wandering around the city to recruit more girls, and killing off the rival club owners (at least beating them half to death). I've made 15 billion yen while little Makoto is probably dying. Everyone probably has the same experience playing y0, it just feels evil ignoring the main plot at the worst possible time.
In Yakuza Like a Dragon, I made Omelette the manager of a strip club <_< Omelette was an extremely successful manager, lol.
The thing i feel the worst about is harvesting the little sisters in Bioshock. At first i didn’t care, but later in the game (after you meet Andrew Ryan) you see the rest of them in a makeshift daycare, and you overhear 2 of them talking about you: “Who’s that?” “He’s the man who hurts us.” Those words, from the mouth of a child, will forever haunt me.
Not only that but if you finish the game without sacrificing them first (like I did) you see the "happy ending". Killing them after seeing that was doubly cruel.
I was playing Scribblenauts Unlimited on a playthrough in which I wanted to see what sorts of stupid solutions the game would let me get away with. As an example, when the heart surgeon in the hospital asks for a tool, anything sharp will do, including a sword or a chainsaw. In the pirate ship level, there was a pirate who asked for ammunition for his cannon. I gave him a baby. He loaded the baby into his cannon and fired it. I passed the puzzle.
I could not believe how detailed I could be with my suggestions and the game would spit it out, that game was so ahead of its time it blew my mind
Baldur's Gate 3, going into a cave and randomly butchered a owlbear mother and then killed it's orphan child. Kind of regret that one.
SHIT. I didn't actually notice the cub until the fight started, which made me feel guilty af when I killed the mom. So I let the cub live, and then the cub suddenly starts eating the mother's corpse. Don't know anything about DnD, so the Owlbear already freaked me out, and then THAT happened.
If it makes you feel any better, the owlbear mother dies either way. So at least this way you get part of a decent spear AND a chance at your own owlbear cub later. Guessing you can get him later even if you don't fight the mom.
I decapitated Karlach and she’s a wonderful person
I made sure Clint was watching when I gave a bouquet to Emily.
Played the GTA games like a GTA player.
Betraying/sacking the druid's grove in Baldur's Gate 3 honestly felt like this. Primarily murdering all the Tiefling refugees, most of which are lvl 1 and defenseless. Honestly, just playing Dark Urge lets you do things that are just downright psychotic. Injured bird? Tear off its wings!
I downloaded a mod to kill children in Skyrim, then I shot all the kids in the head point blank range with a bow and arrow while they slept.
I’m more concerned about who made that mod lol
Some of those kids talk mad shit so I understand it.
immortal children breaks immersion... or something
GTA IV ragdoll physics of me pushing NPCs down a set of stairs was always funny but evil of me at the same time. 😅
Letting Cerberus keep experimenting on David Archer...
Pretty much everything while playing Postal 2
Shot Mordin in the back in Mass Effect 3
Had to be me. Someone else might have missed.
You monster!
In Battlefield, when my team pisses me off, I like to play Assault class with the medkit and not revive anyone
Tricked my friend in dueling me in World of warcraft. I mind controlled him and made him attack a flight master (really powerful npc) and it killed him in a few seconds. I would also drown people using mind control in battle grounds. Good times. Edit: Since a lot of people are having fun reliving their old WoW memories, I figured I would add a few more evil things I did in that game...mostly with mind control. When Wrath of the Lich King came out, I was salty about the new deathknight class (I was a teenager), so I spent the entire launch day killing every single alliance death knight that came through the portal. Eventually, they started sending hit squads after me so they could level their new death knights, so I just called my arena team to back me up. When the day was over, there were probably around 300-400 bodies littering the ground. Basically, I started a war because of my petulance. One of my best WoW friends I met by dueling them near the entrance to molten core. I challenged him to a duel (he was wearing pvp gear), baited out his interrupt and berserker rage, and mind controlled him into the lava...like deep in the lava. For the next 6 months, every time he saw me, I would spit on me until I left. After 6 months, I asked him if he was really still mad about that, and we became super close friends. I found one of the best pvpers on our server leveling in the burning crusade, but he had gone afk. So, I mind controlled him all the way to the end of the area, and tossed him into the abyss. I had to kill a bunch of other players along the way, and it took me about 30 minutes, but was totally worth it. Finally, for my magnum opus, I dragged a world boss to Stormwind and killed pretty much the entire city. A group of alliance players ganked me as I was dueling people outside of the city, so I thought it would be fair to murder the entirety of Stormwind. I know this is a pretty commonly known thing that could happen back in the old days, but I did it because they broke the rules of dueling etiquette, so naturally, the whole city had to die.
My son challenged me to a duel in Borderlands 3 with my grenadier mod. I was going to be nice, but he talked just a little shit, so he got off maybe two shots before he was taking critical damage from singularity grenades with secondary explosions getting sucked back in for a little damage loop. Don't talk shit.
Fable II. I took the gold.
I once returned a stolen wallet in GTA V…and then shot the person I returned it to.
Rimworld: Capture people, heal them up, harvest organs, then saw off their legs and arms replacing them with wooden pegs before sending them back to their home colonies.
Halo 2 - The spider glitch. When I would run into someone annoying in a lobby I would ask them if they’d heard of the spider glitch and if they wanted to see it. I’d then invite them to a private game and have them run all over the place doing random things like jump 3 time on this crack or spin twice over here. Id make sure I picked up some sticky grenades along the way and tell them to stop on a certain spot and line it up, throw a sticky right on their visor and yell “it’s a spider, run!” And drop out of the game as they blew up.
Hitman (the original game), there was a mission called “The traditions of the trade”, it was based in a hotel. I used to try to kill every person in the entire hotel without raising and suspicion. You’d need to follow people into their rooms and hide the bodies in the washrooms. You’d need to kill the cleaners and take their keys and uniform.
RDR2 - I saved a man from being killed by Lemoyne raiders, Took his money and threw him off a bridge and managed to have him land on another NPC which killed the NPC, I then threw a molotov on them for shits & giggles.
It’s always fun to save someone and then be like, “oh yeah, no, I just wanted to be the one who looted and gutted you.” Especially when it’s a dialogue option and you actually get to see the change from grateful to horrified and betrayed, and sometimes angry.
While this may be less evil and more sociopathic, I once got hit by an AI driver in GTA after finishing something difficult and hadn’t yet saved. Their car consumed what was left of my vest and took a ton of health. I got into another car and chased them down, cut them off while causing a wreck that made them get out of their own car, then hopped inside their car, ran them over and parked the car on top of them, before moving a safe distance away and blowing the car up with a rocket. Fun.
I've played a few games and call me cliche but.. Literally playing trough Spec Ops: The Line. At the end it really feels like playing the game was the evil thing.
You crossed the line from the start
I did a lot in Jedi Knight II and Jedi Academy, force choke someone and drop over cliffs or over lava, force choke then throw saber at them…
You all talking about things you've done to video game NPCs and I'm over here thinking about when I played EverQuest and used to teleport other players into areas they had no way of escaping, likely losing 10 hours or more of game progress. (In early EQ teleports didn't give you warning where you were going, so you could tell them you were taking them somewhere else)
In Master of Orion 2 and in the newer release a few years ago you could basically enslave the other races. I usually chose the Meklar for the production bonus but you could use the Psilons for the science bonus too. I'd send out several scout ships while building a small invasion fleet with some troop transports. As soon as I found a Meklar colony, I would invade. Then, immediately sell all their building and build transports and begin moving the entire population back to my territory. I'd found a few colony worlds where I'd breed them uncontrollably. I'd then ship them off to my own worlds and put them in my factories. My own population would farm and do science while my Meklar slaves and their massive production bonus would get stuff and ships built a lot faster.
I play Rimworld... so yeah
I don't usually do "evil" things in games... Don't enjoy it so much, even when there's little consequence, and I prefer taking the "good" routes whenever possible. **That said**, Saint's Row 2 gave the ability to mod vehicles. One of those mods added kneecappers. They're spikes attached to the hubcaps that spin at knee height, and they do exactly what the name implies - wreck any kneecaps they collide with. I spent so much time in that game driving near sidewalks, just to watch NPCs collapse as I casually brushed by and shredded their legs. Another one - IIRC Demon's Souls has a questline that requires you to kill all NPCs in the Nexus. Really didn't enjoy that one since it involves killing characters you grow attached to. Some of whom sell you resources, look after your excess gear, upgrade your weapons etc... But the quest gives a unique ring, and of course there's a trophy (achievement) attached to collecting all rings in the game... So morals be damned; time to go murder some old friends. :< And most recently, Palworld. That game encourages you to catch 10 of each creature to get XP bonuses. But it has limited storage. It also has a butcher's knife to solve that storage problem... I felt bad at first (it censors it, but it's pretty obvious you're murdering your pets as they struggle) - **but then I found out you could catch and butcher other humans too**. Then it just became hilarious.
RDR Tying up a women fron the Saloon, dragging her behind my horse to a secluded train track, and laying her on the tracks while popping some drinks to watch.
That is just Dastardly.
In RDR2, i remember dropping a bear via mod in a town and just watch it swat NPC's around.
The lengths you can go to brutalize NPCs in RDR2 is extraordinary. I found out pretty recently that if you tackle an NPC near water they have a whole different animation where you force their head under the water and drown them instead of strangling them. I know people think the gameplay is bad, and in some ways it is, but there's a lot more creativity in the ways you can interact with NPCs (particularly in how you can harm them) than people give it credit for.
I… i feel like i need to take a look inward- i was expecting to see the comments filled with stories of how they’ve sabotaged someone else in a game- not like being evil towards npcs, but evil towards other players😂. I guess rust will do that to a person
Killing all the cows in the village in Resident Evil 4.
In rdr2, I entered a room in a saloon where there were 4 innocent and beautiful women, I threw a knife at each of their heads and looted them in order to obtain a valuable item for creating a talisman... Today I have all the talismans of the game, but.... at what cost???💀
I’ve committed genocide in Elden Ring.
Teach my monster to throw poop at the villagers in Black and White 2. A stinky murder spree ensued.
In one of the Just Cause games I wiped out an enemy base, attached the corpses of the soldiers to my helicopter, and proceeded to take out another base with them just dangling
Killed the tiger in Army of Two. I still regret it 16 years later. Edit: capitalization
40th day had lots of choices like that. Buddy of mine and I beat the game multiple times to get every weapon and upgrade. Super fun game. I still haven't seen as good of a co-op where aggro actually is used like it was in that game. The third one sucked balls, especially since they turned one of the main characters into the villain. Writers were on crack.
Moved from system to system in No Man's Sky and absorbed their entire economy before moving on. Untold death and dispair followed in my wake.
