Thanks for avoiding spoilers. I’m relatively early in the game and playing it infrequently. Your comment supports the other reviews that prompted me to go out and purchase it.
Yeah, I get that feeling a lot in the Rockstar games in particular. I enjoy them, but feel very dirty playing them as well.
I recently played the excellent Night in the Woods (having supported its Kickstarter) along with friends, and it really polarized people. We all thought it was excellently made, but without giving anything away, the main character is a deeply troubled young woman (well, cat), and her friends have all had rough backgrounds of one sort or another. The idea of playing a character in a game that says and does things that aren’t always all that nice really bothered some folks. I’ve known people like her, so it really spoke to me.
Even when I intentionally start out trying to be evil, I always end up reverting. But then I also start out saying I’m going to be such and such class, and I always end up a magic user.
Almost all of my gaming time goes to FFXIV on PC these days. I’ve been a long time fan of the franchise, and XIV is a beautiful game as well as highly addictive. Right now I probably spend most of my time on crafting jobs. Lots of fun.
I do still enjoy CSGO and L4D, but it’s been ages since I’ve played them or any of my other steam games. Several consoles and hand held systems are similarly languishing.
On rare occasions, I can create a character specifically for the evil options. I may have about 4 or 5 characters going, and only with my “designated evil” character can I make myself click the “not good” option, and even then I feel guilty about it. One thing about writing fiction: it helps you to be able to say “this is my villain to do villainous things.”
On the desktop I only really play Combat Mission. I managed to build something of a reputation as a scenario designer. Unfortunately I don’t have nearly as much time for it currently.
In the phone I just surf teh innawebs … like right now
Recently finished my fifth playthrough of The Witcher 3 and am now going through Batman: Arkham Knight. It’s decent on PC, now that it’s been patched to high heaven…although I’m enjoying it, I’m wanting it to end soon so I can uninstall it, it has a massive HDD footprint.
Will get Full Throttle on my Vita soon, and jump back into the Gwent beta.
Finally need to eventually pick up a PS4…as I got the recent Humble Bundle that had the remakes of the first two Destroy All Humans! games. They were a hell of a lot of fun.
