So as I replay Knights of the Old Republic (1) this thought crossed my mind.
See, KOTOR 1's Dark Side path really bugs me. Contrary to popular belief, evil people do not have ridiculous mustaches, cackle a lot and etc.. True, Sith tend to be rather one-dimensional but that's fine for a non-PC character. The whole point of an RPG protagonist is so you can insert some of yourself into them. I could never properly RP as Revan because it's just too hokey. There is a lady early on you can kill. She's a captive being forced to be a waitress. Now, I suppose you could rationalize away killing her as "can't be too careful." Maybe she's lying. But no, the dialogue for killing her is some horrible joke that I think wen tlike "I'm gonna punch your ticket!" And then at the end the game forced me to kill Mission! I'm not some kind of a monster! She was awesome and my favorit echaracter besides Canderous.
But yeah, that's my choice for potential Worst. There's just no ambiguity and no sense to that playthrough and thus no enjoyment, either.
I think it can be contrasted pretty well with the KOTOR II Dark Side playthrough but I still wouldn't say that's my favorite. I think my favorite would be Mass Effect 2's Renegade run, if you want to count that as evil. As the commander of a ship full of various degree of murderers, being some boy scout doesn't make sense. These are not nice people and your mission is not to be nice. It's to take down the Collectors and whatever gets that done, so be it.
What about you all?
This doesn' thave to be RPGs, by the way. I was also thinking of InFamous here because it's evil path makes a lot of sense seeing as how Cole faces so much trout for stuff that wasn't even his fault. It doesn't make him right but I can at least understand it.
