schijnn Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I usually play goody two-shoes characters (priests/paladins), and even when I do play characters that go through the Thieves' Guild and Dark Brotherhood, I strive to avoid getting a bounty, or killing anyone I don't need to.So, my question to all you evil-doers out there is this: Do you strive to avoid getting a bounty, or do you see how high your bounty can get? And, if you're trying to accrue a large bounty, how do you complete quests? Or do you even try?Also, what mods do you use to facilitate your misdeeds? (I know there's one that adds secret exits/entrances to all the cities) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElricOfGrans Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Why would an evil character want a bounty? A smart evil character would want to do everything they can to avoid being caught in the act. If they are a show-off, they may leave a calling card --- this would be much like using the Grey Cowl so the `Grey Fox' is the criminal, not you. Ultimately, an evil character is a selfish one. They complete quests not to help people, but to get the reward. If a good enough reward is offered, they will gladly perform the act in the manner that results in the least effort and danger to them. Evil does not mean killing kittens in front of small children, like many people seem to think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beefyh Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Perhaps I should have titled this thread 'Playing a Psychopath'. Meh. Same difference to me. What fun is calculated murder? I like to be a werewolf and the rest kind of falls in line... (at least the bodies do.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3rman123 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 There's different kinds of evil characters. I like to cause as many problems as I can without anyone noticing. Summon a huge swarm of daedra to a town, 'forget' to close that Oblivion gate, rig up explosive tripwires, and mess with dispositions to get people to start street fights. It's like a hands-off psychopath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just see people posting screenshots of 'evil'-looking characters, and I wonder what they do in-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beefyh Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I like spawning bears inside of cities. Is that evil? What if they are happy bears? Ohhh he's a happy bear, a happy bear... P.S. They are NOT happy bears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3rman123 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 For some of my evil characters, I collect up a bunch of CM parters, then dress them all out in Pale_Rider's Berserker Armor. Looks epic to have 15 or so decked out like that. Then, depending on the mood I'm in, I turn on the 28 Days and a Bit mod, and go slaughtering.

epicyes Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 If I want to be evil I usually cheat, because after all, cheating is bad. So turn on god mode and lower the difficulty because here comes the angel of death!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3rman123 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Oh yes, cheats are a must if you play evilly. Mostly because playing against the NPCs in the game, guards are designed to whip your butt and haul you to jail. And of course, villains everywhere else in fantasy use cheats. It just doesn't do to be killable by some meager guard. Sauron, GLaDOS, Bowser, they all used cheats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
