8 Video Games That REWARDED You For Being A Dick

Sometimes, we gamers just love playing against the rules. Tons of games reward you for wandering off the beaten path and battering whatever's in your way, and sheer experimental escapist mischief has been on the cards for decades.

You know what, though? There are some devs that clearly want to fuel this sort of thing; concocting all sorts of fun scenarios where digital crime definitely does pay.

8. Overlord

We begin with a game that literally casts you as a big bad lad and actively encourages you to destroy and pillage in the name of evil. You take control of the titular Overlord, and your job is very simple: Build an evil empire from the ground up by sending out your minions to do the dirty work.

It’s all played for laughs as well, with the “heroes” of the realm actually being more corrupt and evil than the main bad guy himself. After all, he’s providing housing, jobs AND social security to a marginalised race of creatures.

Overlord, he’s got my vote.

Anyway, one particular example in many that rewards a good old reaping is when you are faced with whether to spare peasants or add them to the murder pile. Sparing them actually does nothing, but snuffing out these chuffs not only gives you some money but also cranks up your evil meter, allowing you quicker access to the top tier spells.

So yeah, act like Theresa May and murder the working class. It's... a... win-win?
