Probably AoD has a interesting evil path. That game is brutal.

AoD didn't really seem to have a good or an evil path. There's justifiable reasons to side with any of the factions. I suppose going with
those alien motherfuckers
would count but that always seemed more "my character is too weak to beat the final boss or doesn't have a skillset to do any of the alternatives" non-standard game over. Other than that none of the houses/factions are intrinsically morally superior to each other at all.

This thread made me realise how stale the writing and settings of the recent crop of RPGs are. All the originality and creativity seems to have disappeared from the genre for stale tedious I Can't Believe It's Not D&D McSettings that mistake lots of writing for good writing.

As for Lexx, I think there were only a handful of good characters in that show lol (and they usually get shafted). Everyone else ranges from selfish and cowardly to outright sadistic.

Attacking monastery - in what way this is evil? Raiders, ex-farmers who make enough food from soil, are trying to survive. When someone is starving to death, attacking remote location with reaches is not evil for them.

Vikings sacking monasteries weren't really evil. Dickish and selfish maybe sure. But again hardly evil.

Nobody mentioned Alpha Protocol Thornton incorporated ending, pretty fiendish, but all logical and practical even as you put a bullet through Mina "Pooty" Tangs head day after you nailed her.

Codex 2016 - The Age of Grimoire Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
What is the evil play-through of FO:NV, though? Killing everyone? Joining the NCR? Going solo? Really bad Karma? This has me puzzled because all approaches seem to have negative consequences. I saw a playthrough where the player pretty much kills everyone everywhere. Seemed like a bleak ending, but I guess it wouldn't be evil because no faction seemed to gain the wasteland...
