I don’t get the mentality of people who say “Isn’t this great? I can do all this shitty stuff and be a complete asshole because it’s just pixels.” Like of course you can, but why is that fun?
Evil can be fun if it makes sense. I sometimes enjoy games where I find myself backed into a corner and have to do something bad to get out. Or I find myself genuinely drawn to the power that an evil choice tempts me with. Or circumstances beyond my character’s control compel them to use The Evil to get things done. It can make for an immersive and nuanced story.
The problem is if the “evil” path is more just “asshole” or “kills everyone in sight” then I tend to find it less fun.
It doesn’t feel evil to me if we’re left with no other choice, but in those cases I still whisper a “fuck you” to the developers. I guess I’m a goody two shoes, but I don’t enjoy the evil stuff.
Because being bad is fun. Depends on the game for me but it also comes down to how well written the evil choices are etc but idk I try to do the good choice all day occasionally it’s fun to play the baddie

It just doesn’t work for me - I don’t enjoy it.
