The Forbidden fruit is sweet? Question to fans of the RPG genre - 03/11/20 10:38 PM
I have such a situation.
In any game, if I hear that there are some assholes acting in an organized manner and are my enemies by default, I really want to join them.
Fallout III - The Enclave
The Elder Scrolls - Necromancer Guild, Mannimarco (all parts of the series). In Oblivion, I wanted to go through the game on the side of the mythical dawn, or to join the Black Wood Company instead of the fighters guild. This is not about the fact that I do not have enough evil quests, when it comes to good - the same thing! Shivering Isles, I wanted to become a priest of order and stop Sheogorath, and when completing the quests of the Dark Brotherhood, I had thoughts about betraying / destroying the brotherhood and spare some of the victims whom I did not want to kill, but the game did not give such a choice.
Mass Effect 3 - Cerberus and The Illusive Man side
The only example of an absolute antagonist that did not make me want to work with him is Arl Rendon Howe from Dragon Age Origin, he is very nasty and I killed him with great pleasure. But Loghain Mac Tir was taken to the party.
I can go on. I'm curious if you have similar feelings? The perfect RPG game is a game in which you don't feel like you can't do something that you would like to do. I hope that BG3 will be a game with complete freedom in good, neutral and evil decisions. Shadow Druids for example, why not make friends with them.
