I'm still contemplating if I should lie to myself and say "I can totally do an asshole playthrough this time!" only to end up doing the exact same things as I did last time because I can't stand making lines of code sad.

Dark Urge made it easy for me. I kept wanting to do an "evil game" but would always lose heart and pick the nicer choices.

And then my group made me the Dark Urge character on a different playthrough. And once I realized some of the evil shit was beyond my control, I just kinda said "Fuck it" and went evil as possible.

10/10 recommend. It's so OTT it's hilarious.

Are you me? Haven't played this game yet but I always have to roleplay the good guy.

Ah, the Skyrim effect – "this playthrough will be different, I won't even touch the beacon!"

I have started Skyrim around 5 times just to make something other than a stealth archer. I now have the stealthiest orc you'll ever see.

Is that because we won't see the stealthiest orc?
