Sometimes I feel like a bad person because I see posts like these of people given the freedom from consequence to be good or bad yet still choose to be good. Meanwhile when I play these games I love the fact that I can murder, steal and commit all manner of moral crimes.
My playthroughs usually start with me being nice, then as I learn which characters I care about, what things I want and how people react to me being evil I become more and more of a “murder hobo” as you so eloquently put.
As an example, in baldurs gate three I usually gaslight wyll into believing karlach is a devil so that he’ll kill her and I get a sweet piece of armour. My whole reason for doing this is that I find karlach annoying and the armour is pretty cool looking (and can be sold if I’m not using it)
Same with astarion, killed off immediately because hes annoying, I like him best when he’s comically evil lo
Edit: same with scratch lol. Don’t like dogs what can I say

I’d still be a bit concerned if your default mode in a ROLEPLAYING game is murder-hobo, but I’d let you explain it at least.

I’d say that’s a bit more frugal than murder-hobo. Most people kill Gale though cause he won’t shutup.
Edit: almost forgot he blows up. He stayed at camp then I guess. God he’s annoying.
I need gale. Him respecting into alchemy nerd is a cannon event
