Your most evil gaming atrocities

[Dfskelleton]

I too have done the "Evil Bastard" character in Fallout. Oh, fun times. Fun times indeed.
It didn't help that my friend and I had him running around in nothing but some goofy red-rimmed glasses, a cowboy hat and his underwear.
And he had a pink combover.

Oh, and there was one time in which I was playing around with the spawn cheats in the original Deus Ex. I spawned 200 children...
and dropped them all into the blades of a helicopter.
While Deus Ex had some really weird gib effects, I must say that they're actually pretty accurate for what would happen if someone was dropped into active helicopter blades.

Also, in Prototype, I finally found a use for the musclemass power. I stood by the uninfected edge of the map and started throwing people off into the sky. Since I have EVERY UPGRADE in the game, including the ones for throwing, it was pretty much a screwy version of this:

Captcha was: Sacred Cow
Which is also funny, because another exploit of my Evil Bastard character was the time when I unequipped everything and punched a Brahmin to death with my bare hands. It was glorious.
No cow is sacred.

EDIT:

And in the first one, I murdered the hotel owner about twenty times trying to get the 'What a shame' line (which seemed to be bugged on my version.) I saved over that, though.

Same here! I could never get him to say it either. Maybe they removed the line in the GOTY edition because they realized how many people would kill the hotel owner JUST to hear that line. Which saddens me.

i think the worst thing i've ever done is in GTA3 where i cheated getting a tank and i just ran over pedestrians, i wasnt even driving on the road, i laughed so hard.

what?
it was hilarious!.....

*cough *

Here's another one of mine. I was playing the Soviet Conquer the World Campaign in Rise of Nations and just "won" by turning America into glass with my nuclear arsenal. During the middle of one battle, I even broke off a division of armored cars from my main force to chase down some Scholars whose university I just destroyed with Katyusha Rockets. Can't let those harmless scientists get away, that's for sure.

In binding of Isaac I killed all of the beggars.

WHAT DID THEY EVER DO TO YOU, YOU MONSTER?

...BESIDES EAT ALL YOUR MONEY?

I wanted devil rooms! They have good items.But the next run after i fed ALL the beggars.

I thought you got Devil Rooms from doing really well on bosses...

Base probability = 1%
Add the following percentages:
Have one Pentagram: +20%
Have a second Pentagram (Confirmed): +10%
Have Book of Revelations: +35%
Have Book of Belial: +25%
Killed 1 or more beggars in current level: +35%
Took no damage in current level: +35%
Took no damage on the boss: percentage unknown but probably around 20-25%
Then multiply by one of these:
Met the devil in the current level or the level before: 0.25
Met the devil two levels ago: 0.5
Met the devil three or more levels ago, or never during the current run: 1.0
Right from The Wikia

I swear, it's impossible to figure out this stuff without the Wikia. Then again, maybe that's the point.

 

[Yeager942]

I remember in KoToR: 2 that I had set of starport visas that I could give to a variety of npc's so they can escape the devastation of incoming civil war. After ignoring all the nice npcs and awarding the visas to slavers, mercenaries, and other malcontents, I gave the last one to a smuggler, much to the decry of a widow and her family.

Life drain is such a fun ability on a Sith Lord.

 

[Mycroft Holmes]

If online gaming counts: then more things than I could possibly recall or recount in anything less than a 400 page novel. Often baited lesser players(by purposefully appearing weak) into playing against me for money, then took them for all they were worth. In game currency anyways, but its still months of their lives wasted.

Ran a scam where our front-man was literally a guy named Grabin Urloot. We caught the meltdown of the guy we scammed on ventrillo. http://moonshinegetsmad.ytmnd.com/ is the highlight of that.

In Ultima Online there was an island called three tile island because it was basically a tiny spit of sand. I would maroon dead players, and noobies there and they would have to page and wait for a GM to come and save them.

Stacked up furniture in front of the door of someones house, so that they couldn't get in and then unleashed a horde of alligators on them.

Massively ganked non-combat characters (10-15 versus 1) and then deleted all of the items on their bodies, because we didn't want any of it, we just wanted to ruin their lives.

Ruined player run tournaments by pickpocketing contestants while the ref wasn't watching. Got caught once, the contestants opened fire on the crowd to get their items back and were consequently disqualified, causing our team to win because the ref didn't notice what we did.

Got a player banned by forging IRC chatlogs to make them say incriminating things.

Sold chests that had traps on them, causing players to get blown up so I could steal all their stuff. Did it to the same player 3 times, pretending I was ignorant the whole time.

Taunted someone until they had a mental breakdown in front of their children. He got so agitated that the cops came to his door for a possible domestic dispute.

Trapped multiple people with thousands of pet rats that slowly ate said people.

Have been banned for mod sass and 'disobedience' on hundreds of game servers and relevant forums.

If online games don't count then you're a jerk-face. But I also have a few stories at least for that as well.

On one level of Hitman Blood Money, I killed every armed person, collected every gun. except for my 4 targets. I dragged them all down together so that they could see how fucked they were. Then I fed them to sharks one by one, while a crowd of people watched.

In regards to Blood Money, I also liked taunting people I had disarmed, by dropping a gun in front of them, waiting till they picked it up and then push them down and take it from them.

In New Vegas: I sold Arcade to Caesar as a slave. Killed all of Veronica's family/friends then fed her to cannibals.

In ultima 7 I filled a house with corpses of people I had murdered with a scythe. There was a locked room therein filled with guards who caught on to my killing, and tried to follow me around. So I tricked and consequently trapped them in a room.

Tying up hostages in SWAT 4 then pepper spraying them and shooting them with a beanbag gun.

 

[Zakarath]

My shooting of other players in DayZ always feels far, far more cruel than any of the numerous atrocities I've committed upon NPCs. Whether I'm picking someone off from half a mile away because they just might be a threat, or the time I turned a corner, came face-to-face with a survivor whose only weapon was an axe (I had a pistol), and empty a clip into him as he was slowly backing away because I didn't want to turn my back on him, it just feels a lot more real than any game vs. nothing but the computer.

 

[Laser Priest]

I generally try to play the hero, but I have moments of outright sadism.

In Skyrim, I just recently killed every killable character in Falkreath after a guard tried to arrest me in mid dragon attack after I accidentally hit him.

And in Fallout 3, I decided to be a total bastard and picked off every person in the Republic of Dave. One at a time. Waiting a full day between each kill.

I'd be careful... the Bay12 Forums have proved that threads like this can be "won", locked and get people banned.

This one time.

I stole some guy's sweet roll.


[sub][sub]I don't like being evil in games...[/sub][/sub]

I don't either, man.

The most evil thing I can remember doing was... killing a mook. Which I've done lots.

Have any links? I always miss the good stuff. Mostly it's people asking how to mine adamantite or kill their nobles over and over.

 

[The_Lost_King]

Civ IV.

I was utterly dominating the whole game, had 68% of the population, not including my vassal states and probably about 70-80% of the land surface including vassals, 7x the military strength of the head of the second place alliance block (basically the orient), who I was on friendly terms with, and about 10x the military strength of the leader of the 3rd place block (basically the middle east). I had all the uranium resources so they couldn't build nukes and as far as my spies could tell, they had no BBM's. Essentially they were no threat whatsoever, nobody had even thought of declaring war on me or my vassal states for over 500 years.
So I initiate a massive all out nuclear strike on both blocks as they had a defensive pact so I couldn't just declare war on one. A few hundred million dead, the middle and far east an irradiated wasteland. I didn't need their resources, they weren't hostile or even a credible threat if they were, most of them were actively friendly, I could have taken them easily in a conventional war...but I just wanted to see how completely I could fuck them over with my massively bloated nuclear arsenal. The most vile monster in human history.

Now I need to play Civ IV and nuke everyone to hell.
OT: I don't know. Once I left the village of Redcliff to die. I reloaded my save. That is one of the only evil things I can't do.

In Just Cause 2, I attached a car that had the driver inside of it to a helicopter, flew up about 500 meters in the air, then abandoned ship. Watching the whole apparatus slowly spiral into an inevitable fiery explosion and picturing the terrified driver inside the car was almost therapeutic.

Pretty much this. Followed with attaching a guy to the helicopter and just flying off with him just hanging from the struts. when I jumped out the helicopter just fell past him and cut him up with the still turning blades.

In Prototype I walked into a densely populated area disguised as military and just shot everyone. Then called an airstrike on the surviving civilians. I cannot think of my worst. These are rather standard acts of therapy for me.

They can't figure out how to kill nobles? Sheesh, imagination, people!

Anyways, the thread was deleted because SERIOUSLY, WTF.

From TVTropes:
There was also the "Most evil/horrific thing you've ever done" thread on the Bay 12 Games forum which was deleted because somebody "won". And it was not the story of the dwarf who broke a child's arms and legs, proceeded to slowly beat the parents to death right in front of the child and then beat the child to death with the corpse of its mother.

The winning story was modding the game to allow child rape.

There's something very wrong with some of Dwarf Fortress' players.

 

[Kyr Knightbane]

I did something far worse. I made a child eat bread made with the blood of his dead parents. I killed the dad, obtained a bucket of his blood, carried it around for no real reason til i met the orphans of said parent. Then after obtaining a quest to feed them for 'good karma' i simply used the blood instead of water for the mixture, and then fed the blood bread to the children. And the best part? I GAINED GOOD KARMA FOR IT!

Source? Play Ultima VII

 

[Samuel Evans]

Play the dawnguard DLC. They don't get oblivion they get eons of horrible pain.

 

[Unsilenced]

In Hitman Blood Money, I killed every single NPC on every level.

I tried to do that in the level with the party in the street. I got pretty far a few times, but never really got around to doing it all the way through.

Still though, it's a sick, sick feeling when you open fire and just watch a wave crash through the crowd in front of you.

Ughh... *shakes head*

Even in a game where I played an emotionless killer, that was pretty brutal.



I've left people wounded in a few games. Took on a dude in FNV, broke all his limbs, took him down to 1 health, then followed him as he limped away into the desert. Finally he had enough and tried to punch me, so I blew him to shreds with a shotgun.


In Postal 2 I went to a guy's house, found his cat, and [redacted] so I wouldn't make as much noise. Then I found him and [redacted] him until he [redacted], and poured gasoline over him. Then I [redacted] and let him [redacted] until I figured he'd had enough, and put him out by [redacted]. At that point he was crawling on the floor, so I decided to stand over him and [redacted], but I didn't get very far before growing tired of it. I considered killing him with my cat-[redacted], but then I saw his wife come in, so I did the same thing to her, only I then [redacted] her and left her [redacted] in front of him on the floor for him to look at. Then I set the TV on fire and left.

Good game.

 

[ShogunGino]

Well, I did sacrifice many wives to get the worthless evil weapon in Fable 2.

But my favorite evil moment in that game is in the beginning, after killing the first boss, you're given an option of freeing some would-be slaves, or giving them to their buyer for money. What I did was sell them to the buyer, kill him, take the key back, free the slaves, THEN SNIPE THEM AS THEY RUN FOR FREEDOM!!!

But, yeah, I'm also making a psycho ***** FemShep run in Mass Effect, and I'm finding all the ways I can get as many people killed in the course of the games.

 

[Shoqiyqa]

Morrowind. You know Vivec, the main city of Vardenfell, the big place with the irrationally-designed cantons and the underground and that racist b____ with the magic dagger killing "Outlanders" and anyone else who gets in her way? The place where it can take half an hour to move 100m on the map because you have to go all the way round via several different floors down and back up? The place where you can't take 100 paces without "Keep moving," "We're watching you, scum," or my favourite, "If you're here for trouble you'll get more than you bargained for?"

Well, I lost it.

I'd traipsed all over the island. I'd hunted down brigands, tracked down the murderers of tax inspectors, returned valuable jewellery to its rightful owners, gathered mushrooms from a swamp full of uglies, dealt with plague zombies and demon-worshippers, escorted pilgrims, protected sacred rites and everything else for them, I'd had every disease going outside Corprus and paid to be treated for all of them in a world where people happily stand outside in a blight storm and tell you that standing outside in a blight storm will make you sick, I'd retrieved the f*****g Hellraiser puzzle-box for some guy in exchange for some trivial information, I'd been sent off on all sorts of daft errands, I'd fought corruption and vampires and I was getting sick of it.

"We're watching you, scum."
*sching*
*tchack*
"Ugh!"
*tchack*
*slice*
"Urgh ... "

WATCHING ME, ARE YOU? WERE YOU WATCHING THAT? COME ON THEN!
COME AN' 'AVE A GO IF YEH THINK YE'RE 'ARD ENOUGH!

Vivec became a ghost town. I still won. I shoved The Devil Himself off the ledge into the lava, used the fancy weapons to destroy the Heart, put them away and used a LOT of healing magic to survive the Mortal Wounds, and Arkay came along and thanked me for ending the zombie plague. I'm still, technically, the Nerevarine Messiah. I just did a Sodom & Gomorrah act on Vivec City along the way.

 

[loc978]

Playing serious in Sins of a Solar Empire. I usually like to take planets through cultural means, destroying orbital facilities, replacing 'em with my starbases, and waiting for a rebellion... but when I'm playing to win as swiftly as possible I bomb the place until there's no trace of life and no brick left stacked upon another, then re-colonize. Much quicker. Also genocide.

This, but with most of Vvardenfell, and leaving the main quest unresolved/in shambles because I killed so many plot-important people. I really hate everyone in that game, basically.
In Skyrim I used the console to lock Delphine in her little basement hideout forever for being a *****.
This is not counting all the GTA, Saint's Row and Just Cause rampages, those are just part of the game.
The only evil things I've ever genuinely felt bad about in games were leaving Redcliffe to die and nuking Megaton. I'm pretty much a-okay with anything short of complete destruction of thriving towns.
-thinks back to Red Faction: Guerrilla-
Wait, no, scratch that. I'm a-okay with that too!
