I honestly don't understand people who want to do "evil" things in games. And I'm not talking about morally ambiguous things like looting already-dead bodies, the empty homes of dead people, or stealing a loaf of bread when you are starving. I?m talking about what another person pointed out is psychopathy: raping, torturing, killing innocent people or animals that have not done anything to you. People say that they play evil to see what its like or for a different experience. I can?t possibly imagine why anyone would want to experience causing terror in a young girl as she is held against her will and forcibly violated.
I suppose that in some games the reason people feel free to do these things is because the action is vague. They don?t have to actually perform the extreme action ? its simply a choice they make from a menu. Maybe that makes it easier to pretend to be a psychopath. I guess my imagination is too good to allow me to go that route.
As for killing innocents, I suppose when you play a game where you have to kill so many things, for some people why you?re killing might cease to be important. I personally hate quests where the reason for killing certain things is lame ? so I definitely pay attention to why I?m killing. And I wish there was less killing no matter the reason. Not because I'm a prude, its just boring and I like to do other things in games.
