No mention of Spec Ops: The Line?
You can definitely play as a ruthless hardass throughout most of the game.

You're right, you can be pretty damned evil in that game as long as you're careful not to loose too much humanity. Surprised it slipped my mind.slo said:Eh... Still no mention of the Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines?
Not only you are a blood sucker, doing a while lot of criminal activities, but the core mechanic of the game is keeping the whole vampire society hidden, allowing your kind to feed undisturbed.
You have to remember that in Shadowrun it kind of spits on the idea of conventional morality. Things are beyond good and evil. For example, trashing a megacorp division headquarters might net you a princely sum, but arguably millions suffer due to those fractions of a percent off the share price reflected in their already unliveable wages and 'entitlements' ... with massive layoffs and even corporate assassinations of managers and their key staffers.Mangod said:Shadowrun: Hong Kong also gives you the option to play as a complete bastard, and arguably makes it far more monstrous:
At least the bad guy of Dragonfall thought he was doing good; here, you just screw over everyone for your own gain exclusively.One of the endings has you feed half your running team, including your adoptive brother and father, as well as the entire Kowloon Walled City-slum (which houses at least a million people) to Qian Ya [http://halycon450.deviantart.com/art/Qian-Ya-the-Queen-with-a-Thousand-Teeth-560427998] in return for 14 years of good fortune.
Shadowrun had some great bad guy things to do
And I'll second Dungeon Keeper for being deliciously hammy Evil.
You know who shares that opinion? TB:ObserverStatus said:Pretty much any Metroid game will do, I mean I know Samus is supposed to be the heroine, but let's just look at what she actually does.
She's driven at least two intelligent species to extinction, the Ing and the X. She decided that she knew them well enough to condemned their entire races to death mere hours after learning that they even existed.
She's destroyed at least three planets, Dark Aether, Phaze, and SR 388. She's a one woman extinction event.
Every time she visits a new planet, she bombs the crap out of irreplaceable alien artifacts in search of missile tanks, and uses the missiles to terrorize the local wildlife.
I'd start with Metroid Prime 2, that seems to be the one Samus is the most obviously evil in.
Wheelchair kid is his little brother. Otherwise yes, he wants to ruin everything for everyone else, he's the only one unhappy there and even then he isn't that unhappy, just conflicted and destroys Ivalice just to be a dick.Raddra said:Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.
You play as Marche, who's sole quest is to bring about Armageddon in the world he's in, re-cripple his friend who got out of his wheelchair and erase the existence of the person who calls you his best friend.
Yeah, the only way you can glass a planet (or something equally destructive) amd still be the "good guy" is if the planet is getting eaten by Tyranids or something similar, where NOT commiting planetcide would have even worse results.The White Hunter said:Wheelchair kid is his little brother.

OT: Infamous 1 does have an evil story but they lead to similar conclusions.
In Skyrim I roleplayed as a straight up chaotic evil jerkbag, murdered everything that got in front of me, questioned why I was stealing all their shit in broad daylight, or otherwised interfered in my harvest of the innocent for power.
In Killzone 3 the ISA are the villains and no you can't convince me that glassing an entire planet is something the heroes would do to a far more interesting people who only wanted expansion because the ISA fucked them over so hard in the first place.
Do you happen to remember the name of that module? Teasing me like that, it's not fair.Frankster said:There was actually a really awesome trilogy of modules that basically follow on straight from the evil ending and has you starting out in your evil castle twirling your moustache as your dark forces lay siege to all that's good.
That game is great, one of my favorite. But you aren't evil. Your character mostly just tries to survive and is in way over his head. You're a chump that everyone manipulates.slo said:Eh... Still no mention of the Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines?
