10 Video Games That Reward You For Being A Jerk

[@51eduardoflores]

0:47 oh wow... thanks Jess! That look really suits you

[@braddrcrushalot3785]

Considering how the majority of Far Cry games end for the main character from being killed, to learning your actions only put another dictator in charge, etc., Dani saying *bleep it* and leaving is truly the best ending for the main character of the series.

[@UlissesSampaio]

6:30 VtM:B is a masterpiece. Also on top of my head is that hospital quest where you need to find a replacement blood "donor".

[@TheDMind]

Speaking of Pisha in particular, there's also another quest where you have to figure out what to do with a dead vampire's ghoul, who's a threat to the masqurade. One of the options is to send her to Pisha.

[@Croseidon]

Love seeing Kingdom Come Deliverance, its MASSIVELY underated, there's so much you can do and can't wait for the second one

[@justineck5664]

The problem with Fable is that if you don't sacrifice your sister then you get a hero's sword that is just as good, so it doesn't matter either way. But, if you sacrifice a group of people to the night cult, you can get a longbow that is the best in the game.

[@chrism6880]

The heros sword didn't exist in the original Xbox version, though. It was kind of sad that they completely removed the incentive for taking the evil route.

[@Jeustful]

Avo's Tear is not as good as the Sword of Eons. Somewhat close though...

[@crappleindusuries]

You only need to sacrifice one person exactly at midnight to get the Bow of Skorm. Also you can glitch your way to get the sword of Aeons right after you reach adulthood if you get level one summon and assassin rush.

[@alexanderkesterson6338]

You can just use the summon and assasins rush glitch to clip under the stairs and you can grab the sword of eons

[@IronMaiden4ever]

Not to mention that the actual best melee weapon (solus greatsword) is sold from the shop in bowerstone north.

[@HitchcockJohn]

Dishonored likes to have you choose between killing your targets or finding a less-obvious non-lethal solution, and often rewards you for the latter. The thing is some of the non-lethal options are arguably WORSE than just killing them. The Pendleton Brothers are faced with mutilation followed by being worked to death in their own mines. Overseer Campbell gets infected with the plague that kills him slowly and painfully while also turning him into a zombie. Lady Boyle gets kidnapped and handed over to a stalker in a situation that would get you labeled a monster in any other context. In the sequel you can “ethically” deal with Kirin Jindosh by giving him an impromptu LABOTOMY!!! You get rewarded for all of them in ways that aren’t provided if you go for the lethal option. You could argue that they had it coming but as terrible people as they are a lot of these choices still feel pretty extreme.

[@Syurtpiutha]

It irked me a bit that the game told you in advance that your actions would affect the ending in such a manner. I agree though, 'Nonlethal' isn't about 'ethical'. Corvo is on a roaring rampage of revenge, ethics and revenge generally don't mix. There was an interesting article about Corvo's actions in the light of historical british honor culture vs more mediteranean vendetta culture. I think the title was 'Corvo is not an honorable man'. Highly recommend it, made me appreciate the game a lot more.

[@Relaxedplaythroughs]

Original fable that was your only option but this is the same version with the freeze time exploit which is so much fun. Shoot a bunch of arrows at guards then use your shovel to restart time and watch all the arrows hit at once.

[@kicksandswords]

Best sword in Fable you can just buy in a store in Bowerstone, so yeah don't know who did the research on this one but you got it wrong. And before anyone says it they said Fable not the original release but Fable overall.

[@DMBLaan]

Not all the Daedric Quest in Skyrim and "evil". Azura's and Meidia's are basically morally good, unless you the player MAKES them evil. And to even get the Masque of Clavicus Vile (no the Axe is NOT a Daedirc Artifact, it's just an enchanted weapon) you have to do the "good" decision and spare Barbos.

[@brandenzuch2773]

Love the hairstyle Jess! I always have a hard time doing evil playthroughs

[@chrisrudolf9839]

I'd say having an affair with Lady Stefanie is by far not the meanest thing you can do in Kingdom Come Deliverance, if it is mean at all. On the one hand, it is adultery and I did feel a little bad for kind old Sir Diwish (by the way, the guy in the video footage is not Diwish, but his guard captain and right hand man, Diwish himself is even older), but on the other hand he is more than 30 years older than Stefanie, it was a political marriage, he still is childless (because he spent the early years of his marriage imprisoned by a rival) and Stefanie - though too well-mannered to spell it out expressis verbis - heavily hints that Diwish is unable to *perform*, so you might even do him a favor by helping him to produce a "heir". I liked how they let this relationship grow organically, made the characters' motivations humanly understandable and put it in a really ambiguous morally grey area instead of painting it in black and white. Most of the time when a video game gives you a choice to romance a married woman, they either make the husband a hideous abusive tyrant or they make it very clear that you are the villain if you do this and realy should only take this romance quest if you aim at collecting maximum dark side points and unlock the evil ending.

[@buzzsawgr81]

there's a part in cyberpunk where you can narc on panam to the leader of the nomad camp, this locks you out of the rest of panam's quest line and makes her hate your guts, but in turn the nomad leader gives you his car which is one of the best cars in the game.

[@civilwildman]

Note about #4: You can just complete the requirements of the Reaver specialization in one save file and just go through the whole heroic route of the game on your main save and then use said specialization if desired. Once you get Reaver unlocked, you never have to do that again.

[@Syurtpiutha]

This is true. Yet I prefer to play a character who would actually stick with that choice (and think up why they would do that). Same for if I were to play a Blood Mage. My 'jerk warden' playthrough turned out a Dwarven Noble, who also backed Branka. Lot of fun. Also complete jerk.

[@DragonLigerX]

It's also not the best class

[@anthonysmurthwaite6258]

Update the gaming list playlist

[@aldotrioksidi]

There's not much reason to kill Theresa for Sword of Eons, because you miss on Avo's Tear, which is superior to Sword of Eons. Even then, the sword you get from the north bowerstone store is better than both of them.

[@Jeustful]

No, Avo's Tear is not better or equal to the Sword of Eons. But Solus is much better than both.

[@iyeetsecurity922]

Neeeeeeeerds!

[@cdunlap0008]

Taking the easy way out to get that secret ending in a Farcry game is mandatory. Color me a bad guy

[@willdiaz-rojas4267]

The destruction happens after 2077, per the arrow, time is not specified

[@viix3815]

In Fable you can make a sword using stuff that makes an even better sword than any legendary item, IIRC.

[@xjwithazero8915]

not usually into it but damn jess looking like a babe in this one x D

[@The_Nightsong]

VtM:B was my first gaming-obsession and got me into this hobby ❤❤❤ ps. Dragon Age + Baldur's Gate 3 ❤❤❤ i always play as a Durge in BG3

[@vagrantmessiah]

The real #1 of this list is Jess' hair

[@MaizeFa]

I love the smile and joy while watching her saying this stuff 😂

[@yotaruvegeta]

Games in this list: Grand Theft Auto 5 Baldur’s Gate 3 The Witcher 3 Kingdom Come Deliverance Far Cry 6 Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines Dragon Age: Origins Fallout 3 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Fable

[@donaldfrederick501]

Yes folks, the list does begin with Trevor Phelps - GTAV - cause what the hell else could possibly debut such a list.

[@Canrugger]

Makes you wonder about the people who work at the video game companies that make them

[@DMBLaan]

One thing that I think CDPR games do better than most other studios/publishers, though Larian is now also with them on that list, is making ACTUALLY morally grey choices where you're really only picking the lesser of 2 evils, rather than a blanket "good or bad" choice.

[@davido.1233]

Fun fact: In Fable Lost Chapters and Fable Anniversary, if you choose to throw the Sword of Aeons away, you can obtain an equally powerful sword called the Sword of Avo.

[@davidfitzpatrick6535]

In game ABSOLUTELY AM I TRADING MY BLIND OLDER SISTER FOR A LEGENDARY SWORD IRL NO OF COURSE NOT! Wait does my family know I did it?? (Just kidding)

[@alecbuxton7634]

One could argue that the secret ending in far cry 6 being the smart choice

[@mikesb113]

Isnt the fabled Fable sword also obtainable in the first hoir and a half by glitching through the floor?

[@TheBHAitken]

No outros anymore?

[@emptycradle1304]

I consider this a realistic approach to story, after all IRL being a jerk is more beneficial than otherwise as you have less rules to abile, however it can be a double edged sword since you get so used to it you skip straight to jerk-like solutions thinking they will work better when the often time will not... Kinda like when Henry Ford Started changed his employee's work week from 6 to 5 and make a hefty profit... If i were designing a game i would make it so you start off with all available options but your choices change your karma and your karma changes what solutions your character thinks of... after all if you keep picking the evil solutions when a situation comes along where a good solution would profit you more, you are far more likey to not even think of it...

[@sacysily8968]

"No other way to get those rewards" is absolutely not true for Dragon Age: Origins, as the Reaver class can be unlocked by reading a book later and the constitution upgrade you get by letting the slavers sacrifice the elves is absolutely miniscule compared to rewards you gain by making correct moral and explorative choices in the game. Dragon Age is in no way a game where pursuing evil gets better rewards, in fact the series will actively punish you for this in every installment.

[@original_caffeinator]

"Plenty of fish in the sea" jerk move from Shadow Complex?

[@krvgames9258]

Number 10 is well known, as Trevor in GTA 5 is ALWAYS a jerk.

[@stormboss57]

Being a jerk is a chicken kickin' good time!!

Man i wish i knew this channel existed

[@Rincevind007]

Technically your friends die at the start of Far Cry 6. Everyone you work with later are people you just met

[@DragonLigerX]

Knights weren't generally good people, the code of chivalry was created by the church to improve their image and deal with the bad behavior they didn't like

[@jh9794]

Oblivions daderic quests are way more messed up at times half of the skyrim quests are nuteral and maybe 4 are actualy evil for the quest itself. No the ebony blades tempering doesn't count as a quest for me.

[@jamesstarnes8026]

Great video!

[@Jeremiah12thLvlGeek]

Does Dark Souls reward you for being a jerk? Let me query something different: How badly do you want Solaire's outfit? (Imma ask Patches what he thinks...)

[@majincaveman2709]

Crash 2? U get a trophy and free lives for jumping on the bears head over and over

[@cppblank]

With her being blind, number 1 feels like mercy.

[@roguerifter9724]

AFAIK I'm the only person I know who played Fable and never did a playthrough where they claimed the Sword of Aeons

[@garyballard179]

Never kept the Sword of Aeons myself. Looked kinda cool, but not really, and it was the end of the game, anyway.

[@Jianichie]

For Joy offers a lot of items/experience... if you know, you know.

[@Canrugger]

Vacation you say?? 🤔🤔

[@missitheachievementhuntres560]

Overlord 1 and 2 ^^

[@joesunday199]

Classics!

[@megarockmanz]

Why does no one talk about those games at this point I'd settle for a remaster so I could play them again

[@TheScarekrow420]

I feel like Jess is judging 😂😂😂

[@Fabio-Carvalho]

If i remember correctly. In fable you can actually get a better sword later

[@chrism6880]

Only in the PC release / Fable: The Lost Chapters. The original Xbox version, the sword of Eons was the best weapon available (by far)

[@risteskiii]

Add time stamps pls

[@matthewhibbard9807]

Untitled Goose Game…

[@ekemran5]

WoW just WoW. JESS MCDONELL is Becoming more beautiful each day.🥰🥰

[@missitheachievementhuntres560]

You looks good in this video Jess ^^

[@matunusdonnerhammer3423]

Every game with open world PVP.

[@iandutton4601]

Being a complete arswhole in a game is so much fun

[@piemaster1288]

Actually, I think you can keep the sword and save your sister. The game doesn't tell you, but I believe in the lost chapters version, if you just leave the room when you are given the choice, you get to keep the sword while your sister gets to stay alive.

[@Thrythlind]

Geeze, every time I hear about GTA I have less interest in playing it.

[@gerbmcnuggets5466]

No 420 themed list? Boo!

[@Slothisticated0252]

Why would you want a Hitler’s birthday themed video? (Kidding ofc)

[@paigemalloy4276]

The only time I can be evil in a video game is if I play as a dude lol

[@liamevans9353]

Hello love ❤️

[@hawwmann7032]

Lol the hostess with the mostess. Jess is well aiming at ex partners.

[@jamesronnie5346]
