10 Video Game Villains Who Won By Losing

10. Bhaal - Baldur's Gate 3

The Dark Urge origin from Baldur's Gate 3 allows you to play as the dreaded spawn of Bhaal, Fearûn's god of murder. Throughout the story you have to make decisions regarding your evil heritage as the call of your screwed-up father constantly beckons you to commit atrocities in his name.

Your choices are to either reject your urge to kill or embrace it. However, even when you defy Bhaal's will, the dark god still has a chance to have his way and win anyway.

Yes, although there is a way to completely overcome your dark urges, if you decide to choose the path of righteousness too late, your act of resistance will only lead to a worse outcome.

If you spent the whole game following Bhaal's will, but right at the finale you have a change of heart and stop his army of cultists from taking over the world, the decision will lead to a special secret ending in which shortly after saving the day your character's mind becomes overwhelmed with Bhaal's influence and the god turns you into a brainwashed murder puppet.

Well, if you wanted to be a good guy, you should've committed to it from the start!
