    Pathfinder: Wrath of the righteous.

    It’s similar to Baldur’s gate but on pathfinder which is (imo) a much better system than 5e.

    In the game you choose a mythic path which grants you incredibly strong abilities but also drastically alters your gameplay and story interactions. You can have the powers of an Angel, Lich or even just be the embodiment of a swarm, so intense that you actually kill your whole party.

    I loved how well the game does at fulfilling the fantasy of the path you choose. In my lich playthrough I really felt like an unstoppable mage with incredible power.

    I recommend playing in turn based mode.

    SvR 2011, Rey Mysterio’s heel turn

    You get to use a sick ass attire for him that doesn’t exists anywhere else, and this is the only time Rey turns heel

    …I suspect a lot of online games or multiplayer games to some extent. Being a player killer or just a cavalier machiavellian sort will probably get you where you need to go faster, as long as you’re smart about it.

    Fable: The Lost Chapters comes in mind. You can get lots of gold and some powerful items going down the evil path.

    Another one would be Tyranny, though that game is quite morally gray and what is evil is rather debatable.

    Vampyr. While I wasn’t a big fan of the game in general, you do get more XP and better skills by being evil and hunting humans throughout London

      Same. I’ve tried several times in Baldur’s Gate, but I just can’t bring myself to do it. Especially once I recruit Karlach, I can’t bring a frown to her face 😞

      I run a “The end justify the means” type character when I play evil routes. Be an even more power hungry/corrupt/etc person than the villain(s), but doing it for altruistic end goals. Like yeah, I got most of the hostages, sure I may have chosen a very violent/questionable route and some MAY have gotten killed in the crossfire when the villains attempted to appeal to my moral standing, but mission accomplished.

      It feels both bad and wrong…there should be a word for this…like badong. Yes being evil in a video game feels badong

    Too many things to list in Skyrim (beware spoilers).

     If you destroy the Dark Brotherhood, you get 3,000 gold as a reward. You get over WAY more by joining them and doing the quests, plus more unique armor and weapons.
    
     You can't kill the theives guild at all, some members can die but most can't. And you don't get anything for *not* joining them, at no point do you have to, but you just miss out on content if you don't.
    
     And at the end of the main quest, you're supposed to kill Parthuunax, which I guarantee nobody wanted to do. You miss out on content if you don't kill him, and if you do, you'll be able to reform the blades.
