Gamers of Reddit, what is the most vicious things you did to NPCs and the virtual world?


  1. Heh heh heh. Copy/pasted from the last time I answered this question. This is from skyrim. Spoilers to follow. To set the scene: One of the Dark Brotherhood missions involves assassinating a bride during her public wedding reception. You get bonus points for killing her as she's making a speech on a balcony with her new husband by her side. Already pretty evil, right? Well, I decided to get creative. One of the fun things you can do with pickpocketing in skyrim is planting a poison on the target which will then take effect. So here's what I did. I planted a black soul gem and a dagger enchanted with a soul trap effect on the groom, stole his existing weapon so he'd go right for the dagger in the event of a fight... then planted a powerful frenzy poison on him. Not only did the groom spontaneously lose his mind and brutally murder his bride in front of a crowd of horrified onlookers, he stole her very soul, too. A guard killed him shortly thereafter and I took that his bride's freshly harvested soul from his corpse.

  2. Edit: realized that my actual most vicious act was in cities: skylines natural disasters dlc. My town was complaining about health care, I build a hospital, then they complain about the noise. I use green energy to power the city and turn my industrial zones to woodworking/farming, they complain that I'm too much of a hillbilly and snarkly tweets "isn't there something more modern we can invest in?". I redo the farming zones to general industries, they complain about pollution. They complain about traffic, I give them trains and subways, they complain about noise and taxes. So I brought down tornadoes, forest fires, earthquakes, tsunamis and sink holes and watched as the dead piled up in the streets whilst they were tweeting in panic. Worth it.

  3. In the Sims (3?) I had my wife and home and was playing, until I noticed one of neighbors was flirting with my spouse. I encased them in a glass room inside of our bedroom and made him watch me and wife bang until he died of starvation

  4. My friend: There's that homeless man slowly dying in the hot sun in Fallout 3 begging for water. Friend took the Rock-it Launcher and loaded it with a water bottle. Blew him away with it found the same water bottle and drank it over his dead body. Fun game.

  5. Alexander beat me to building Petra by one turn, when I had a city in the most *perfect* Petra set up you could imagine. I was playing as Spain and I'd gone for Desert Folklore over One With Nature; *that's* how perfect this set up was. I was fuming. I built a tiny city in the most inhospitably shitty tile I could find (right up in the snowy wastes), and blocked it in completely with other cities until it was maybe one or two tiles big, no more. Then I laid waste to that son of a bitch. I took *everything*. I seeded the ground with salt. Every city I had no use for, I burned to the ground. Then, just before I took his last city, I traded him the one-tile city I had renamed 'Alex's Shame Corner', trapping him in a desolate frozen wasteland for the rest of the game.

  6. Rollercoaster Tycoon (first one). I'd grab every person who complained and put them on a tile that was 1/2 a unit lower than the park. When it was a teeming mass of hundreds of unhappy customers I'd lower it quickly and then raise it so they'd fall under the map. Then I realised you could put them on a bridge with no ends and watch them drown by deleting the bridge... The [beeping alert sound](http://www.zedge.net/ringtone/1581719/?src=a) spamming over and over is forever stuck in my brain.

  7. I killed a hooker in Fable 2, because she sided against me in a post-coital dispute. I was just messing about and seeing what would happen if I said yes to her (turns out, nothing, you just fade to black and then wake up), and so off we went to *what I assumed was* her house to do the deed. It was not her house. The actual homeowner apparently turned up while we were asleep. He was pissed off, and decided to attack me for screwing hookers in his bed, which if I'm honest is fair enough. And then the bloody hooker pulls out a gun and tries to shoot me in the back! Like, really, you brought us here and now **you're taking his side?!** They both had to die. The hooker for her treachery, and the homeowner because by that point I was feeling like the wounded party and just wanted to hit someone.

  8. I married a woman, had a baby with her, took all her money, moved her (and the rest of my family) into a small house in another part of town then befriended her daughter (who was not my kid) and when her daughter was old enough to do adult stuff I started dating her instead. On the Sims of course

  9. By far the worst one was in Fallout 4 on the questline where you agree to help a guy who's down on his luck by robbing a drug deal. So me, the guy I agreed to help, and the guy who knew about the deal and set the whole thing up in the first place went to the deal, and I ended up slaughtering everyone there. Before killing the drug dealer I interrogated her and promised her I would let her live if she told me where they manufactured drugs. Then instead of splitting the profits 50/50 with the guy like we agreed upon I intimidated him into giving me 80%. Then I decided to kill him so I could have all of it, which of course upset the other NPC who set up the robbery in the first place, so I killed him too. Then I hacked all their limbs off and threw them in the river so no one would ever know what happened. Then I used the information I got from the drug dealer to go rob their warehouse where they manufactured them. Once I got back to town I lied to the wife about what happened to her husband and said I would help with the investigation, she later gave me a picture that I took to the crime boss who convinced me to assassinate someone for some more money, and after the job was done I returned to the crime boss and killed him too. Then later on the daughter of another man I killed as part of the quest approaches me trying to figure out what happened to her father and I also lied to her and convinced her that it wasn't me, so she skipped town. I met her again later on and told her I killed her father, which causes her to become hostile, so I killed her too finally tying up the last loose end in a quest chain that involved me murdering and dismembering over a dozen people just to steal some drugs and money. I've never felt more like a psychopath than those few hours it took to complete the quest, but it was really fun.
