(Looky Here!) Options in Games that make you Twirl your Evil Moustache, because you can.

[Bang25]

I love to twirl my evil moustache occasionally. You know, when I'm not giving to charity, curing cancer, or doing fetch quests. The greatest moments tend to be in RPG's, like Fallout 3 where you can kill a little boy in his sleep before chowing down on his corpse then sneaking away into the night, the people you meet never suspecting a thing. Maybe the thrill of slowly taking out a room of target's one by one before taking out the last terrified straggler, like in Arkham Asylum or maybe Hitman. Perhaps dragging a peaceful protester to your dungeon as he begs for mercy then throwing him in, locking the door and throwing away the key, like say in Fable 3. Or even something Primal like trapping someone in a room to slowly starve before setting them on fire, nearly drowning them in a pool, breaking their legs, and then watching drown in their own urine, like in The Sims.

Evil in games equals freedom,that's why it's appealing and that is why people appreciate evil choices, and boy these choices are EVIL.

These moments always make me twirl my evil moustache and use my best evil laugh.
Stealthy or Gory? Clever or Brutal (or both!).

go to the wedding in rivet city(fallout 3)stand in the back, take out fatman, and kill every citizen of rivet city

I like stabbing people in the throat in Assassin's Creed.

And oh, the unspeakable things I did to people in Red Dead Redemption.

Yet I never could bring myself to kill the Little Sisters in Bioshock.

...Nuking Megaton.

 

[SturmDolch]

The nuke in Fallout 3, definitely. And the Dark Brotherhood quests in Oblivion. I've stopped being evil in games, though. I usually play a Han Solo type character; starts neutral-for-the-money and ends up fighting for the powers of good.

 

[DirgeNovak]

Pretty much everything you do in all God of War games.

Oh, and OP: you can't kill kids in Fallout 3. You're probably thinking about 1 or 2.

/quicksave, shoot important (read: auto-game over) yet highly annoying character in the face, /reload, repeat until I'm bored. I've done this for 20, 30 minutes at a time, depending on the game, often with every weapon in my arsenal.

Oh, and building rollercoasters that catapult people into empty space in RollerCoaster Tycoon was lots of fun. Actually, tormenting people in that game was fun period and there were many, many ways to do it.

Rampaging in any GTA (or other sandbox style game) naturally.

Reverse pick pocketing grenades into peoples pockets in Fallout 3.

On the same note, reverse pick pocketing poisoned apples into peoples pockets in Oblivion and then stealing all their food.

There are more, but those come to mind most readily.

The "Who dunnit'" Quest in Oblivion is one of my favorite quests ever. I always feel smug satisfaction and sadness afterwards. (Personally, I don't like being evil either. I have gone entire games several times without doing anything evil, like in Dragon Age Origions.)

Wow, those things aren't "twirling your evil mustache". They're just being psychotic. There's a difference. "Twirling the evil mustache" is more classical evil, like managing to cause a rival empire to collapse due to revolutionaries that you supported or turning part of an opposing army against itself by making them believe there are traitors in their ranks. That's when you twirl your evil mustache, go "Nyeh, nyeh. You've fallen for my trap!" and sail away in your evil dirigible while the heros shake their fists at you.

"Nyeh! This will surely affect my inheritance! Nyeh!"

Not to say that those things aren't evil. God damn are they evil. They're just more Chaotic Evil as compared to the Lawful/Neutral Evil I've described.

 

[Bang25]

I was exaggerating for effect.

 

[Bang25]

your right Irony's Acolyte. my favorite is in Oblivion when you have to trick an entire house of people to trust you before murdering them one by one until they collapse on themselves and kill each other. Then striking the last one down just as he realizes YOUR THE ASSASSIN....................SHLICK! Nyeh.

 

[Anarchemitis]

The Combine like to flush out foxholing players with grenades, then flanking them.

This works in reverse.

 

[crimsonshrouds]

I only like being evil in oblivion other games i dont really like being evil.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

I can't be evil. In Fable, my dog is never dumb enough to chase the ball into the canyon and, Why the hell can't I kill any children!? EVER!?!

 

[Drakmeire]

Destroy all humans gave me many fun ways to be evil. like using my UFO to destroy every building in the entire town. Or my favorite, disguising myself as someone's girlfriend or boyfriend and then making the person's head explode when they least expect it.

The only problem is that few games allow you to exercise that kind of evil. Most games only really allow random acts of violence. Give me a game that allows me to create and execute an elaborately over-the-top plan to, i dunno, steal some kids lunch money using a duck and a microwave oven, and I'm all over it. Until then, I'll just hit reload and pump another round into an annoying NPC that made me trek across the wastes/swamp/caves/plains for some random mcguffin for the billionth time.

*Sigh*
I don't have the spine to be evil, even in games. I couldn't even turn down the Elven beggars in the Alienage in Dragon Age.

Me either.... I'm can only be evil sometimes, or when being evil is to my benifite. I Could'nt blow up Megaton if I tried.

 

[Bang25]

I improved the intro. take a look at the top.

 

[Reaper195]

I like finding a nice piece of New York with no infected people in Prototype, slowing and stealthily consume a few people, then unleashing some massive surrounding attacks before simply carving my way through the city with my mean bladed arm.

Oh, and OP: you can't kill kids in Fallout 3. You're probably thinking about 1 or 2.

Actually, you can. As far as I know, there are two ways. One is the...Sandman Perk, I think? The one where you can insta-kill someone if they are sleeping, and the other simply is removing a piece of coding that stops you from targeting kids and having them die/take damage.
