Evil choices in games make no sense. Do devs really think that even the most socially outcasted gamers would go through with harming or murdering innocents for profit or even their own amusement?

It's a game bro, most people won't frick bears IRL either, doesn't mean it won't be popular in games.
It isn't real, anon. I've blown up Megaton more times than I've saved it, purely because I can. It's a game.
I always blew up Megaton for teh lulz
i don't want to make a post that violates US law
but let's just say, if i could get rid of _______, ____ and _______ i would
This thread is about evil choices though.
evil?
Reality and fantasy aren't the same thing. I have blown up Megaton, sided with Caesars Legion, killed party members in KOTOR 1-2, ME and done evil things in every single DaS, Bloodborne and ER.
>Do devs really think that even the most socially outcasted gamers would go through with harming or murdering innocents for profit or even their own amusement?
Yes because most people can differentiate between reality and video games and know what fun is.
Evil choices are done all the time IRL with complex reasonable motives behind them. Game devs keep it cartoonishly evil so that people won't be inspired to commit evil.
Labeling choices in games as "good" or "evil" is silly. There should just be choices and consequences. Why label them?
Because sone decisions really are just dumb for the sake of being an butthole.
Blowing up a populated area while being 16 years old, growing up in a sheltered environment with parents and friends who loved you is psychopathic, Cartman levels of evil. Its so blatantly evil that killing the men who orchestrate it awards you Good Karma.
Taking choices made in a videogame seriously is a hallmark of mental illness. Teenagers messing around in a virtual sandbox are not the people you should be worried about. Those with the real problems are in their 30s and wish the Legion were real
I'm not taking it seriously at all moron I'm merely saying that you can't sugarcoat it or use the phrase "morally grey." Blowing up Megaton is evil.
you are a fricking idiot, there is no sugarcoating it either. have a nice day.
Ok explain how it isn't evil.
not saying it isn't evil, but it is just a fricking game, stupid frick. killing an ant is EVIL irl, but killing pixels? who the hell cares? do you also feel remorse if you let food go to waste? poor people is poor and couldn't buy food anyway.
God damn you have the reading comprehension and diction of a third-worlder. What a waste of a conversation.
my place is second world, mr copium whiteoid
I would absolutely blow up that shithole city full of schizos and Irishmen in exchange for a suite with a working toilet in the apocalypse.
Explain why grand theft auto is so praised in here then
OP drives the speed limit, stops at red lights and only kills in self defense.
>IS DOING FUN THING IN GAME... LE LUDONARRATIVE DISSONANCE
>WHAT DO THEY EAT? NO MOLERATS MUDCRABS BRAHMIN AND BLOATFLYS IS NOT AN ANSWER
>WHY WOULD ANYONE BUILD A HOUSE ON A BRIDGE? NO DON'T TELL ME PEOPLE CAN BE moronic IN REAL LIFE
>ALSO DON'T TELL ME FALLOUT ISN'T SUPPOSED TO BE AUTISTICALLY REALISTIC LIKE HOW I THINK IT SHOULD BE IN MY troony PORN MIND
>WHY DOESN'T THE WORLD LOOK LIKE A GENERIC FANTASY FOREST AFTER A NUCLEAR APOCALYPSE? NO DON'T TELL ME IT'S BECAUSE FALLOUT 1 AND 2 ALSO DON'T LOOK LIKE A GENERIC FANTASY FOREST
>GUYS WHY CAN WE JUST ENJOY GAMES
I download mods to kill kids in Bethesda games. Nobody takes my sweet roll. Nobody.
evil playthroughs are fun too OP
also there are a lot of unironically bad immoral motherfrickers out there
>evil playthroughs are fun too OP
rarely, mostly because devs don't wanna make them so they're boring
soul nomad and the world eaters had probably the best evil route i've seen in an RPG and you can tell that NIS cared about the fricked up world they made
Evil choices just lock you out of stuff and don't really benefit you in any way. There should be more content and alternative paths for evil characters.
Most game don't explore evil or give them any good motivation, I think spec ops the line did a great job with creating a human villain that isn't 'im evil just because I'm'
It's a multiple layer problem, firstly you can't really be evil in most rpgs because usually you get a choice of
>reasonable obviously correct good choice
>comically evil obviously incorrect choice
As well as evil options nearly always having less rewards or options.
In mass effect something like 80% of players picked paragon compared to renegade. People are just more likely to pick good options so devs only focus on the good stuff while the evil stuff is an afterthought continuing to make the problem worse.
It’s to stop the next school shooters
some homosexual goldpanner insulted me in red dead 2 so i shot him in the foot, tackled him to the ground, hogtied him and then threw him in a shallow part of the river and watched him drown
being evil is fun
