I’d definitely like to be able to play the game in an intelligently evil way, which would mean there are malign options available to me like blackmail, extortion, sadism etc. in addition to the plain old do-as-I-say-or-I-pierce-you-with-the-pointy-end routine.
To be a true villain is to be ruthlessly cunning, not psychotically savage – at least not all the time!
