10 Video Game Rewards You ONLY Get From Being A Dick

10. Let The Hate Flow Through You - Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic

Throughout George Lucas' galactic saga, the Jedi are regularly tempted to turn to the Dark Side. Of course, any true hero would never do such a thing. (Well, usually.)

But after playing Knights of the Old Republic, it's easy to see why the purest Force-wielders strongly consider joining the Sith. After all, most of KOTOR is a cakewalk if the lead character takes a less honourable approach in their endeavours.

By stealing money, your team can purchase awesome weapons and equipment much sooner than if you were acting like a goody-two-shoes. Rather than taking part in elaborate fetch-quests to obtain an artefact, you can take it by in-canon Force, saving a ton of time and trouble. 

Take Bendak, for instance. Duelling with this Mandalorian will earn a few Dark Side points, but the protagonist also earns a ton of credits and the strongest blaster in the game. (Also, Bendak is a scruffy little nerfherder, so watching him die would be worth it, even if there were no other rewards.)

But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Only by embracing the Dark Side will you attain coveted abilities, including Drain Life, Force Choke, and Force Lightning. Although this decision will permanently lock out certain Light Side abilities, you'll be far mightier in the long run.

It's nice to fight on the side of angels, but there's no doubt choosing evil makes the playthrough easier and more entertaining.
