It's one of the reasons Tyranny is such a good game. You start out as a bad guy in an evil system. You can try to do good, but you never really succeed because you're trapped in an evil system.
You hace to really look for the non-evil options (yes plural), the game doesnt tell you explicitly they're there, and it still gets messy.

Least in games the good you do is rewarded. In real life the phrases " no good dead goes unpunished" applies more often then it should.

I think it’s funny when you do something bad to video game characters.

I've never actually had a problem with non-state-supported gangs in california.

Nobody else is gonn give you shit about offering free drugs to the homeless. You don't stop being human when you join a street gang; it's not the police.

Idk, I’ve played a lot of Eve Online, and I usually try to be kind to players that are new or friendly.
Sure, if they are in your "tribe", you need to train new talent .... everyone else is fair game, though.
I used to gate camp a lot. If anyone was new and wanted to join, I'd let them. If they were new and does in the gate camp I'd usually send them enough isk to replace what they lost and then some.
When I would scam/lofty people, we never killed the noobs. Do that and you won't have anyone to scam when they are rich enough for it to be worth it. And by then they have enough it's not as big of a blow to them.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Yeah, with low-sec camps we'd often give advice if we killed someone that turned out to be new. Though we didn't usually reimburse them.
No such leniency in null-sec or wh-space, though. You're either blue or you get killed (& podded) because it has to be assumed that every new account is an alt/scout/spy from the enemy.

Fable. The only way to get the best bow in the game is to sacrifice a lot of innocent people.

Fun fact: 96% of the population have at least normal levels of empathy
Doesn't really mean a whole bunch if the "normal levels" of empathy are inadequate to create a humane society.

I do all sorts of evil shit in games. If you can kill it in the game I will. Dogs, cats, Klombo, fuck em.

I think it's good to be able to empathize with fiction, to naturally resist the choice that hurts people or things, even if it's fake.
But yes yeeting a fictional child over a building can still be hilarious to watch.

One of the Bioware devs posted that something like 92% of players were heavily to entirely Paragon despite them putting a lot of effort into Renegade content. People want to care about others, even virtual folks. You get invested.

Games often present moral choices that are too binary. e.g. kill everyone or save everyone. In that case being evil would naturally be a lot harder because most characters would try to stop you.
Would be more interesting if the moral question is more ambiguous, or maybe have some moral dilemmas. Like you thought you made a difficult decision but the right one, (perhaps even with many in game characters telling you that you are right), only to find out ultimately you were the bad guy after all.
