Today I saw Playing a bad guy is hard, and I felt completely identified.

Whenever I try to do an evil playthrough I can’t help to feel bad. For example, I feel bad when I have to kill Narfi, I feel bad when I have to break Bersi’s urn or when I have to threaten Keerava. I don’t even kill Nazeem.

What’s wrong (right?) with me? What’s your experience about this? Do you feel the same way about being evil in a game? And, since this is a modding community, do you have any mod recommendations?

    I feel like Bethesda games make it difficult to be bad. In order to progress through the game a lot of the time you’re pushed to be the good guy at least briefly.

    I had this in Fallout 4 most recently. I pushed the Minute Men back to the castle with the Nuka World Raiders wiped out everyone else but was still railroaded into being buddies with them to finish the game.

      That’s true, it would feel as if the character had a split personality.
