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 don't have the urge to play a bad guy. If I did, I'd maybe replay Mass Effect?

I don't think there's necessarily anything wrong with you, just like how I don't think there's anything wrong with bdsm practitioners.

This is interesting because when I was a kid I would always try to do every bad thing the game would let me because I found it hilarious that in the context of the game there could be no consequences for bad behavior. My favorite moment was in KOTOR during a trial where I committed numerous crimes, went on trial for those crimes as part of the story, admitted to my crimes proudly in a court of law, and was let off the hook for story reasons. Now when I play games I have more fun playing heroically and trying to help out as best I can because that's what I have more fun doing and would find trolling the hapless npcs boring since I used to do it so much.

When are you on trial in KOTOR?
