[Kev Inkline]

I wouldn't know.

I've heard Tyranny lets you rape a baby. It doesn't get anymore fucked up than that.

I've heard Tyranny lets you rape a baby. It doesn't get anymore fucked up than that.

"Best" could mean most enjoyable or rewarding experience, not most depraved, but it could mean that too I guess.

 

[Safav Hamon]

I'd still say Tyranny, because it gives you the power fantasy of becoming a god.

 

[Nano]

Mask of the Betrayer is my nomination. Has an awesome evil path-only companion.

 

[nobre]

Two suggestions.

Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magicka Obscura: So much evil stuff to do here. Unleash Half-Orc rebellion, Necromancy, double and triple crossing, side with the Dark Elves, slaughter a peaceful village, or just kill everyone on sight and still complete the game.

Deus Ex: Just go full Terminator on everyone for funny results.

 

[Safav Hamon]

I'm revising my answer - Fallout: New Vegas

 

[Darth Canoli]

Dungeon Keeper was quite satisfying in that regard.

Mistreating your servants, killing and torturing heroes in shining armors, summoning the Reaper and unleashing it upon your enemies, that was fun.

I'd still say Tyranny, because it gives you the power fantasy of becoming a god.

And raping a baby.

 

[v1rus]

MotB def.

I also found corrupting your companions into Dark Jedi in Kotor 2 to be extremely fulfilling.

 

[TT1]

Tyranny, for sure.

 

[felipepepe]

Mask of the Betrayer.

But Arcanum and Baldur's Gate 2 had some great evil things to do, like forging an armor made of human skin.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

Realms of Arkania HD

 

[octavius]

Natuk.

 

[Erebus]

Mask of the Betrayer. The evil path is well-developed and genuinely satisfying.

 

[deuxhero]

Definitely Mask of the Betrayer. It actually ties into the epic level of the campaign and avoids the derp of evil=aggro everyone by making the NPCs too afraid to deal with you as they know damn well you'd do worse than kill them if they tried.

 

[lukaszek]

deterministic system > RNG

 

[Funposter]

KOTOR 2 due to companion corruption (as previously posted) and also for the ability to spam Force Lightning with impunity. I think it's the only game I've ever played where I instinctively lean towards evil choices.

 

[DemonKing]

KOTOR when you get to force your Wookie companion to kill his best friend cute lil' ol' Mission because of his lifedebt to you - also ability to spam force lightning as mentioned above...

 

[Rake]

Mask of the Betrayer, followed by Planescape Torment.

 

[Sranchammer]

CK2

That depends what you mean by evil playtrought. Nice evil character? Or criminal?

You could nuclear bomb a town in Fallout, or be evil and support that ghoul woman.


There you have one evil character.


That mage that changed himself to cabinet (in Baldur's Gate) just to store women underwear was also pretty evil.
And then we have Trevor from GTA V.

But let's look at recent games I played that allowed evil playtrough.

Dark Souls had decent evil ending, better than regular ending actually.
Demonicon well, you play as evil character and it doesn't suck.
Kings Bounty Dark Side. Refreshing game about revenge of a vampire (or one of two other starting characters).
Prey 2017. Allows doing stuff.
Princess Edge Dragonstone. Naked evil princess broke from imprisonment grabbed a sword nearby, and she's completely kickass and wants pay them back. What not to like? Aside of graphic, simplistic story, and it's not RPG.
Seinarukana lost alternative route in english version, and I'm not sure if it counts.
Shogun 2 obliterating shogun and getting shogunate to yourself is so evil. And enjoyable.
Silent Storm. You are playing as Abwher section... You know Nazi. Not much choices and consequences or Roleplaying elements.
Solium Infernum decent game, just too simple and short.
Space Pirates and Zombies. Yea this one is also nice.
Tropico 4 Modern times DLC. You can get 3rd super secret ending. Quite nice when you do evil playtrough.
Overlord has VERY enjoyable gameplay. Evil only.

Also Disgaea I and II had enjoyable evil playtrough, as long as you could stomach grind.

Lotta fun evil choices in FO2.
