Going to the dark side... Options

[flowerboom]

Do you enjoy being evil ? Overall do you enjoy characters being evil or are you just opposed / dont enjoy the idea or playing of it

I love going to the dark side , it gives a lot just like being good does.

Also : do you think there comes a "point of no return" or can any character turn around

Do you think being a vampire makes you "bad" ?

And which people in the game / acts do you consider truely evil?

If I may elaborate a little here since my current character is an evil one... Falador is evil and doesn't care much about taking lives of innocent people (or harvesting souls as Lucien Lachance says) but he isn't a mindless killer that would go on a rampage killing anyone that crosses his path. He has a 'good' side on occasion but it happens very very rarely. Something about his personality and his deeds:

-He finds himself ugly & repulsive, that's why he thinks of himself to be a chosen of Namira. Since beggars are chosen of Namira as well, Falador doesn't have anything against beggars and gives them gold on occasion.

-In most cases he doesn't kill without a reason although there were exceptions. More about exceptions later. He serves the Dark Brotehrhood and obeys the tenets, so he doesn't have qualms about killing his targets. But he likes challenge that's why he (if possible) killed only the person required and not the others. But there were few exceptions - he killed whole crew of Marie Elena although the contract was only on the captain. He killed a man who lived with Matthias Draconis although the contract was only on Matthias - but his roomate found him and Falador had no 'choice' but to kill him. Another exception was after assassinating Phillida - when he went to IC to place his finger into a desk, two random Imperial soldiers were standing in his way and he picked them off. There was no need, he could as well sneak past them he wanted to show other people that nobody should mess with the DB. In his early days he was more savageous but then sort of 'calmed' down.

-He smiles rarely and even if he does, it's a wicked smile. But when he saw Carwen for the first time, he smiled with honesty. But because he finds himself ugly, he didn't dare to talk to her. When he found out that she's member of TG as well, he encouraged and asked her about Rumours He actually didn't listen to her but only admired her beauty. It was the only time so far that Falador realized that he will never be able to have a family because of his life-style. But he pushes these thoughts away and continues with what he knows the best - killing.

-His hideout is (modded) Fort Caractacus and he pays proprietor of the Aleswell Inn Diram Serethi 50 gold on occasion to warn travelers / adventurers to stay away from the fort. I don't use any mods for this, it's just something that happens in imaginary conversation (but he still gives him 50 gold each time).

I think he would be boring to play if I roleplayed him as a mindless killer slaughtering everyone so I very much agree with this quote.

But if you're going to be a bad guy, in my opinion, like mALX said, be interesting about it. same with good guys. I feel like there are different shades to everyone. Good people do bad things, and bad people do good things.

-I tried to give him some traits in his personality that make him more interesting to RP (I might still add him some trait since we've only reached a little over hundred hours). He's mostly a loner and stays away from towns, unless he's got 'business' to do there. He would never attack shopkeepers without a reason and he doesn't even think about it. Because of high infamy he gets nasty & arrogant remarks all the time but he ignores them as he also ignores most of the people that pass him. He would never kill somebody because of a remark.

-But being evil an all that, he likes to 'play' with his unsuspecting victims... for example - on his way to Bravil he noticed an Imperial guard who was turned towards him with his back. Falador dismounted, readied his bow and targeted the guard. If he fired an arrow, the guard would die instantly. He was moving the arrow up and down, deciding whether to do it or not and in the end he didn't fire the arrow. The power of deciding about someone's fate without that person knowing it makes him feel superior. When he passed the guard on Shadowmere, he said to him:"Not this time," but the guard had no idea what Wood Elf was talking about.

But when he's out for revenge... things get messy.
