10 Evil Video Game Characters Who Saved The Day Anyway

10. The Hero Of Brightwall - Fable III

In Fable III your character spends most of their time fighting against the evil regime of their traitorous brother, King Logan.

However, just because you're fighting a despot, it doesn't mean you can't be a despot yourself. In fact, by being another tyrant, you can actually save your kingdom more efficiently than a noble-hearted hero.

That's right! Fable allows you to roleplay as both a good and a bad person, and while both styles of gameplay are equally viable for accomplishing the main goal of the game, that is overthrowing Logan and defeating the Crawler's horde, being bad is secretly the better strategy, because it makes it significantly easier to gather up funds for building a defense force against the incoming army of monsters.

After you get rid of Logan, you get only a little bit of time to prepare for the Crawler's invasion, and since overcharging people for rented apartments is the easiest and fastest (also, the most evil) way of making money late game, the bad characters are, ironically, more efficient at saving the world.

No wonder Fable is a fantasy game. Greedy landlords are considered heroes of their community in Albion!
