In most MMOs, your moral compass and career objectives are fixed for you: You’re a hero-for-hire who’s only out to save the world, rescue lost bunnies, and eviscerate nasty demon spawn. You’re the good guy or gal, in other words.
And while there’s nothing wrong with that, the “R” in the MMORPG genre means that sometimes we like to roleplay a little differently. Maybe we prefer to be on the side of the villains or in the murky grey middle. Maybe the anti-hero trope appeals to us or we just want to watch the world burn.
Do you like playing as an evil character? If you are given choices in the game, do you choose to indulge in sinister acts and nefarious deeds?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
