10 Games That REWARD You For Being EVIL

[@gameranxTV]

What other games do you think deserve to be on this list?

[@NewMateo]

2 come to mind. In vampyr you become god tier by literally taking over London and destroying all the npcs. Also Fallout New Vegas DLC with the divide - you can choose to nuke both ncr and legion and you get a ton of nice gear left in the irradiated debris after.

[@ObligatoryBook]

Maybe Shadow of War? Obviously the orcs are pretty evil too, but brutalizing and torturing them I would consider to be pretty evil too and it's such a powerful way to carve out hundreds of them at once.

I've always found the evil playthrough to be the best test of a writing team, sometimes you are just generic evil and no one cares about it, but some rare instances you go beyond a party members tolerance and they flat out betray or try murdering you. Like wrath of the righteous, there is a path that is plain evil and everyone and everything abandons you once you do it.

[@immortalfrieza]

Yeah. It's clear that with a lot of games with an evil path the developers half assed it because they just put it in for cheap replay value. Few games that have evil paths the developers actually put their heart into.

[@pockylovingranger]

I personally love how both paths in Infamous games can make you feel like a total badass. Hell, my favorite powers in the second game are Bolt Stream, Ice Shield and the Gravity Wave which are all Heroic Karma abilities xD

[@franson34]

tip for anyone getting skorn's bow in Fable, you dont need to kill a whole lot of people. You only have to have your evil meter go up by X amount. So, if you play the game as "good", get a "holy" follower from the chapel and take him to the Chapel of Skorn and sacrifice him that should be (or close to) enough evil points to get the bow pretty quick. Source; I do this on almost every playthrough.

[@humpteedumptee8629]

Yeah sacrificing the two good followers (Oakvale and Temple of Avo) gets you enough evil points to get the bow IIRC as long as you're close to max goodness prior. I usually get the bow then donate 60k to the temple lol

"Guess my goodness and compassion has evaporated.." I have said basically the same thing after going through that in an RPG game as well 😂 When it comes to my much loved Fable games, there are endless ways you can be good, bad or in between. However in Fable 3 (the one game in the series ppl usually dislike the most including myself) the ending leaves you with the feeling of "damned if you do and damned if you don't." SPOILERS below... Having to break all your promises to all the ppl that helped you overthrow your brother from the throne plus turning some towns into disgusting wastes, building brothels instead of a school for kids, ect is what you have to do to save all the lives of ppl in Albion. These are considered the "evil" choices. Or do the reverse of all that and most of the ppl in Albion die bc you don't have enough money to fund an army and fortify the area to defend against the darkness. You do those "good choices" and ppl still love you as ruler but there is basically no one left to care one way or the other anyway so....you're screwed no mater what you decide. One of the main reasons why Fable 3 sucks compared to 1 and 2 which were awesome.

[@KorilD]

Fable 3 is one of the few games in which abusing expoits to amass gold is morally correct.

[@paradsecar]

While morality in the Mass Effect series largely affects the story, as you’ve said, I think that being Renegade Shepard rewards you with way funnier dialogue. And because it can be argued that the game is canonically built around Shepard being Paragon, it leads to some very hilariously uneven and schizophrenic responses in conversation.

[@derkz4145]

As a fan of Chrono Cross, it hit me differently to have chosen not to save Kid when I was trying to go for 100% game completion. Korcha was gonna hate you so much. But getting Glenn was absolutely rewarding. And going on to complete Glenn's side quest enables him to ditch that Dragoon shield he's using and dual-wield two Einlanzers. He even looks more badass then and gets an insane attack boost. Serge and Glenn even have a duo attack which also gets a massive boost after Glenn dual-wields.

I can't really agree with the Witcher 3 one. In the mission helping Olgierd you can find the final piece for the Viper Witcher set, the silver sword, which can be upgraded to grand master level, and get the Viper set bonus.

Vampyr. You can play through without killing a single civilian (the enemies that attack you are fair game), but doing so severely limits the skills and powers you can get. Playing the non-lethal route is essentially hard mode and the powers you can get when you kill a bunch of civilians are really useful.

[@immortalfrieza]

You can get those same powers just by fighting more since enemies give you EXP.

@@kyokonightstorm5844 They don't, but if you run around the available areas killing all the enemies 2 or 3 times every so often you get hundreds of EXP with each run and lots of practice.

Especially since on a lethal run to optimize your EXP from draining you've got to both make the correct choices across the board when talking to people and avoid drinking everybody for as long as possible anyway.

Except with Vampyr you don't really get anything out of being evil. Sure you get cool combat powers but you can just fight a bit more and get the same results since fighting gives EXP too. On top of that in order to get the most out of being evil you have to hold off on actually drinking anybody in a particular section of the city until you learn everything there is to know about them, then go on a drinking murder spree afterward so it's not like you're going to be significantly stronger than you would be otherwise.

In Fable, you don't have to sacrifice that many people. I forget exactly how it works, but it's based off of how good they are and what time you do the sacrifice If I recall correctly, you can do it with just one follower if you pick the right one and do it at the right time

I'm one of the people who played the original Chrono Cross. To clarify on the Saving Kid situation however you can choose to save Kid or not to and there is a slightly different story because of that. Both options will lock you out of 3 characters. Saving Kidd will eliminate Macha, Glenn and Doc. While Abandoning her removes Korcha, Meg, and Razzly. So whether the best option is abandoning Kidd is actually very arguable because of Razzly, I don't know if they fixed this in the remaster but Razzly is supposed to be a magic focused character being the only Green element character to do so. However her bug gives her the stats of Greco the pro wrestler exorcist instead, making her physical attacks, which AoE, scary good.

When I play Kotor I play lightside but choose to use dark side powers. The only cost is using powers apposed to your alignment is the force cost can easily almost double. The same rule applies to Kotor 2. I always have force lighting even as a light side Jedi.

[@aarons.8161]

Only game on this list I have a minor problem with is Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Mainly in that you don't really have to be evil to use the Darkside powers. You can still use them even as a Lightsided character, they just end up costing you more force points to use. The real reward for being evil in that game (at least in my own sick, twisted and evil mindset) is all the down right evil and often funny things you can get away with. Most of them being through the use of the Mind Trick power. For instance, there are two evil dialog trees you can work through on Dantooine, though one of them I think is actually in KotOR 2. One being with this very... "generous" mandolorian/mercenary that you can effectively Mind Trick into giving you everything he has, including the very cloths (armor really) off his back, and he ends up none the wiser of "WTF just happen!?". Better yet, his partners are there... laughing along with you. The second, and perhaps my most favorite, is when dealing with the two noble families that are at war with each other. Long story short... the evil path... leads to a rather classic "Romeo & Juliet" styled ending. Only thing I regret however... is not having some popcorn at the time. lol

[@Hillman234]

I'm surprised you didn't mention KOTOR 2. Completing the story following the dark side gives you an amazing dark side force power. It also gives you the opportunity to turn alot of your force sensitive companions to sith. If you choose the light side story you get a buff that's just okay. Pretty clear which side is the better choice.

[@immortalfrieza]

On the light side, the buff you get is based on how buff based you were in general since it just gives you 3 buff force powers you've got simultaneously. So it's pretty terrible if you aren't already focusing on buffs.

[@theguylevi]

For these sort of choices, Fallout (probably New Vegas) is still among my favorites.

Still unsure if the dishonored series should belong on this list. I guess it depends on what your definition of "reward" is. If it's only to reward yourself, then the dark path is fine. But obviously if it's to reward other people, you need to play the good path, which makes the game harder.

[@Victthequick]

callahans magnum, also a awesome reference, also skorns bow only needs 1 sacrifice if you do it right

[@Sage24555]

Fun fact about fable, you can get the bow from almost the start of the game and only need one sacrifice, the henchman found in twinblade's camp. He is a pretty morally questionable character to begin with so it's not really something that would leave a bad taste in your mouth should you do it. Having this bow early on makes the entire game a meme especially if you're going with an archer build and is comparable to having the sword of aeons for the fighter build at the start. You can visit the darkwoods and twinblades' camp well before any quests that would direct you there. So there are ways to make this choice far less evil.

[@Sage24555]

I forgot the add but the temple of skorm doesn't like pure souls for their sacrifices, they prefer evil individuals which is why the henchman works in this regard. Note he is also cheap to hire and you need only bring him to the location, he also doesn't need to trust you or have you convince him somehow to follow you considering he is a merc.

2:30 but if you don't help Olgierd you don't have the option to get the upgraded version (especially legendary one on NG+) of the viper steel sword. Sure, on deatmarch difficulty the bottomless bottle would be best but the viper sword is also pretty strong unless you want to go through that annoying (especailly if you suck at Gwent) Gwent tournament in BaW to outclass it. Yes, there's better grandmaster swords but you're going for a combat build with ursine armor and fully maxed out Aerondight it's one of the best steel swords due to the bonus status effect chance and also the crit one.

Skorms bow was awesome but you dont have to sacrifice 4 people. There are 4 people you can hire to help you 2 good and 2 evil. to get the bow you sacrifice one good one at exactly midnight in game according to the in game clock. The clock is difficult to read and your timing has to be impeccable or else you dont get the bow. I also think they either dont respawn or take a long to spawn and skorm doesnt like the evil merecenaries.

I wish Infamous made a comeback, one of my fav series of all time. Second son and First light are overlooked too.

[@DillonHathaway]

You definitely don't get locked out of the assassinations if you go explore volcano manor that'll only happen if you fight rykard btw

[@onlyws6810]

So glad you guys recognized the Kotor series, I'm always a sith in the games

[@reighzhor1058]

Ahhh, KOTOR...that brings back memories. In one playthrough, I was the nicest nice guy to ever nice guy...until the first fight against Bastila. Then, when we got back to the rest of the party, I did the evilest thing in the game...made Zalbar take out Mission...

[@Ibench315]

Web of shadows gives you better powers if you use the symbiote suit which is bad

[@douggiles7647]

In The Witcher 3 IMO you should always choose to be swift as the wind if you help O'Dimm, you find so much alcohol around the world and it's cheap to buy as well, so picking the vodka bottle that's always full is totally pointless, whereas the saddle he gives you you can't get anywhere else in the game

[@doyen4626]

Dante's Inferno for sure deserves to be on the list

[@pt87153]

You can also get rewarded with bell bearings for killing the merchants in Elden Ring if you're feeling especially evil. You can use the bell bearings at the Twin Maiden husks in the Roundtable hold and never have to track down another merchant again.

Damn I guess I missed out. I never played the evil story version of Delsin because him being "evil" felt forced. But Cole on the other hand...

[@immortalfrieza]

Yep. Cole being evil made more sense because he starts Infamous 1 with people treating him like shit. Delsin being evil though requires you to make choices that Delsin as a character has no real reason to make.

Its a bit of a moral quote: Hard to be good, easy to be evil

[@BobbysWrldd]

I aaaabsolutely lovedd Fable 2,3 to the point where I beat the game multiple times to see the good side ending and the evil side… the evil was always the most entertaining ironically 😭😭 but the good was good too lol. The game will really pull your alter ego

[@iaamanerd101]

Great video .. i was always looking for a list like that.. i can never choose the evil option but it's good to know what i miss out on when i dont.. thanks gameranx

[@MGS4280]

Me thinking of the game “Infamous” and being infamous is the better of the two powers….makes sense to me

[@joshh535]

KOTOR 2 actually had a ridiculous ability only available to dark side characters that choose “Sith Lord”, called “Force Crush”. It was an upgraded form of Force Choke, but would lift the target off the ground before crushing their entire body and causing massive damage. It was single-target, and the “being lifted” *could* be resisted, like by bosses, but even if it was resisted the enemy would be stunned for a moment as they go through an animation of resisting it… but by the game’s design, even resisting it causes damage. So you could just spam that ability on bosses to stun lock them. Worked on Sion like a charm, not as helpful on Kreia since she uses ranged attacks, but Sion was ezmode

[@ArcaneSorceror]

Force Crush is a powerful single-target ability. But the buff for being light side makes things much easier

[@ezrafaulk3076]

I remember trying to play a good character in Skyrim; ended up being shoved down the evil path in a number of situations. So much for freedom of choice; that's why I've been looking into mods that'll allow me to get the best rewards even playing *as* a good character.

[@frankjaeger1711]

Another that comes to mind is just a single quest I can think of. In wasteland 3 there is a slave girl who runs away and is being hunted down by this woman and her men. The slaver woman offers to give you the codes to your own bunker you have your base of operations in. Unfortunately there’s no other way to get access to that area without giving up the girl to the slavers. Feels bad but man is the loot worth it. Especially early on. I love quests like that because it shows being the good guy isn’t always worth it since you get nothing in return for helping the innocent girl. Also you can’t kill the slavers because by the time you head back to them, they’re gone and they only send an envoy with the code you were promised. The least I did was kill the messenger after.

[@Soulache]

Thanks for putting the names in time stamps!

[@jacobdrolet4262]

Amazing video of video games that rewards you being evil, fantastic job gameranx.

[@elliottryan13]

HERE WE GO! LOVE IT GUYS THANKS FOR ALL THE GREAT VIDEOS!

[@gameranxTV]

woo

[@yanewstepdad1355]

Star Wars Forced Unleashed had a great Good and Evil reward system

[@TheLoneTerran]

That was one of the chief failings for me in Divinity. You're railroaded into being an evil bastard. In an RPG focusing that much on good n evil, it's pretty lame.
