One of the few mechanics that developers can toss into a game while making almost everyone happy is some kind of morality system. Even the systems that are a bit of an afterthought can make your favorite games all the more interesting in key moments, regardless of how impactful the choices you’re able to make are.

Luckily, whether because of a morality system or just because of how the game works in general, it’s often possible for you to turn against everyone in a game. Creating chaos by going full villain or controlling your hapless victims to their doom is your choice, and sometimes, it’s oh-so-sweet.
10Infamous 2
People may not think of these games every day anymore, butInfamous 2is still a great game that lives in plenty of people’s hearts. One of the best aspects ofthis electrifying gameis the morality system that allows you to make a series of choices that ultimately impact your ending.
If you decide to take a darker path through the game, you will end up betraying everyone that ever loved Cole. In this ending, Cole essentially becomes the new big bad and goes on to dominate the world as more Conduits rise.
9Until Dawn
There isn’t really a lot of a single character betraying any other character with their actions inUntil Dawn. You simply get to turn on everyone as the player, making it so that none of the hapless survivors can make it to dawn.
The best part is, you can even pick your moments to allow the characters to meet their gruesome endsduring all those excellent QTEs. If you go into the game blind for the first time, it’s possible that you might lose every single character without even trying, and that’s something special.
8Skyrim
While it’s not as exciting as in many other games, you really can dominate the land ofSkyrimwith as much evil as possible. The game will keep you from killing certain characters, but that won’t stop you from knocking them out.

You can be an enemy to the entire world, even going as far as killing all the dragons. That second part might actually help the world at first, but in reality, that just leaves more people to make the enemy of your very own Dragon-Born.
7Dark Souls
Dark Soulsis already an incredibly dark game if you uncover the lore of the world, but it can be even darker if you feel like being a complete jerk.you’re able to kill all the NPCsyou come across to leave the world eerily devoid of life outside of the creatures you fight.
You can then go even further by deciding to become the lord of darkness at the close of the game, something that essentially dooms the world to dwindle in darkness until another chosen undead comes along to fix your mess.
6Undertale
It’s easy to forget just how RevolutionaryUndertalewas, purely because you become the biggest bad guy around by playing the game the exact way you would play any other RPG. If you fight enemies, you’re killing innocent monsters, and you can kill everything and everyone you come across.
The route in question where you kill everyone is literally known as the “genocide route” something that is also viewed as the worst ending of the game. Most people who went into the game blind probably saw some version of one of the worst endings and just had to try again.
5Mass Effect: Legendary Edition
If you knowMass Effectwell, you can make it through the entire series while simultaneously turning your back onevery single crewmatethat ever steps aboard the Normandy. It’s not an easy task, especially if you love the games, but it is possible.
You essentially have to put in as little effort as possible during each of your playthroughs, to see to it that almost every member of Shepard’s crew is a goner. You can additionally be a jerk to every person you come across throughout the trilogy if you go pure Renegade.
4Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic
It’s almost funny how comedically evil you can be in the Sith route of the originalKOTORgame. It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone who loves Star Wars, but becoming a Sith pretty much requires you to be the absolute worst.
The thing is, if you choose the Sith route, you pretty much become the kind of supreme bad guy that Palpatine wishes he could be. It may be a bit more dated in nature, but it was games like these that set the standard for these kinds of morality systems in the modern era.
3The Witcher 3
It may come as a surprise to most people, but you can be a serious jerk inThe Witcher 3. If you play your cards right, you can basically turn your back on nearly every single major character in the game.

It will require some knowledge of your potential choices to pull it off, but you can make your Geralt the absolute worst. You can make things with Ciri,Triss, and even Yennefer go shockingly badfor everyone’s favorite Witcher, and that’s without mentioning all the helpless citizens you can ignore for the worse.
2Fable 3
While it may not be as loved as the other games by some people,Fable 3does give you some interesting choices to make. One of the more infamous moments in the game is the situation in which you spend tons of cash, be hated, or let everyone die, a decision that can take you by surprise on your first playthrough.
If you’re feeling like completely turning your back on everyone, you can do so throughout the game, but you can also make Albiion the equivalent of a creepy ghost town if you want to. It’s actually surprising how dark this game can be.
It really is kind of dark just how far you can go to turn against literally everyone inDead Rising 2. There’s no solid storyline choice you’re making to betray a bunch of people bysacrificing them to zombies, instead, it all comes down to how you play.
You can ignore all the survivors in the game if you really want to. Even worse, you can completely ignore your soon-to-be-zombiefied daughter as well.
It makes for a dark way to play the game, but it does allow for more time spent killing zombies in ridiculous ways.
