Why play an evil path? Cause I'm in my villain era of gaming

On a less joking note, I'm just tired of not having the choice to play counter to what a game might be expecting. I like having the option to behave a certain way in games. Especially since I've gotten into games lately that really let you approach things differently versus railroading you towards saving the day. Game will let you go off the beaten path just a little bit but not too much because the game doesn't really want you RPing like that. I'm not interesting in stories with those limitations lately.
Over the past year, pretty much every RPG I've played a character that was super chaotic (leaving NPCs concerned about/afraid of what they'd do next) or a really selfish one that didn't do anything that didn't serve their needs. I've been having so much fun doing this!

For me personally, being the "stereotypical" hero in games is overrated right now. I just want to watch the game worlds burn lol
