It is our everyday life as well, can be different by a lot. The brain can become tired and crave a change.
If all is well, a bit of naughty trick and biting here and there means just fun, and I can agree with that, as long that happens just inside the game or with people who can take it well in real life.
Same if we see many sad things and surrounded by pain, we wish to help, but rarely things can be changed by a lot in real life, though we never give up trying... With this mindset, going into the game, the bliss will be, being able to help, inspire and do what - so much - we would to do around us, in real world.
There could be a balance of wishing a bit of both, or not. If we can do both, then likely we in a good spot. A bit of laugh helps, and I wish everyone would be so happy in life, that they would need the fun of doing "evil" in games. Only in games of course
I don't expect every game to be made for everyone, just avoid it if can't enjoy it. I played the Sith Inquisitor in SWTOR, just wanted to see the other maps as well, and surprisingly I could be a maximum light side character, though still limited by the main scripts, I guess in the way Tyranny allows, but was still sad in the end, because I had no options to do more and I actually made the evil side stronger.
I guess I'm not looking to have fun in games, but do "good". That's likely wrong, because games are for fun. Just some of us are broken and can't. That's on us of course.
I still was glad when watched Swen playing in that gameplay presentation, he really enjoyed it. I could agree with "evil" that way, just letting someone else do it, because my joy would be seeing that other person enjoying it. Only in games of course. Who knows, maybe still there's hope, and we can become "evil"?
