lord of flies Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I don't mean "eat babies" literally, but as a metaphor for "be a jerk for no reason." Can I, for example, purposefully give people poison instead of medicine, for no real gain? Can I manipulate my allies and get them to kill each other? Can I commit an act of genocide? I've been reconsidering this game, and I suppose most of it's design decisions aren't too bad, and I'm reconsidering a purchase, but if I can't be pure evil...

Cl_Flushentityhero Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 As much as I would like to attempt a sarcastic reply, I consider that a legitimate question. That said, I doubt it, as AP seems to be a very goal-driven game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Somehow the idea of causing a genocide doesn't as fun to me. But shooting in the kneecaps whenever I feel like it would be awesome too.

Oblarg Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Hey, guys, will I be able to start a nuclear war? If not, I probably won't be buying the game, because I want to be able to be truly evil. What kind of spy game is this if you can't bring about the end of the lives of a large chunk of the world's population?

Enoch Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I really doubt that providing a platform for cackling, moustache-twirling, cartoon-villain evil is particularly high on Obsidian's list of priorities. Everything I've read about the game says that it's focused on morally ambiguous choices. Throwing in options for gratuitous acts of puppy drowning would undercut the impact and drama inherent in such decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fearless_Jedi Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Oh I'm sure you can "eat babies." The question is: can you beat them up first? "Some people are always trying to iceskate uphill."
