Kyosai7: I recently finished Tyranny and loved being evil and sadistic in it. Looking for more games to do similar. Been playing Neverwinter Nights 2 and enjoying it, but the filler-filled story and the lack of real role playing outside of the small choice here or there isn't engaging me that much. Will Bloodlines let me?
I already know about the patches to download and stuff. Just wanting a good RPG that lets me revel in being evil, selfish, and sadistic.
There are definitely some options in this game that can be considered morally dubious, even if you're playing a "good guy" vampire. For most of the time you can be a prick to everyone, but of course this sometimes changes quest rewards (a lot of the time this is just your "humanity" which you can get back easily enough).
What I mean to say is, to get the most out of it there are some people you probably don't want to piss off right off the bat, but there are also plenty of options to screw people over. Also plenty of options to resolve something violently, non-violently nice, or non-violently... not so nice.
Near the start of the game there are a few opportunities to get some cash using scams and blackmail, so there's that too.
There are also opportunities to seduce someone before munching on their neck, or (depending on the character chosen) control their minds, or make them go insane. Convincing people to kill themselves or giving them a mental breakdown never gets old.
You don't get to wipe out entire villages and burn them to the ground like in Tyranny though - it's smaller scale than that.
