10 Video Game Villains You Can Secretly Join (And Be Better Off!)

10. The Crimson Fleet - Starfield

Starfield, like most Bethesda games, lets the player join a variety of factions. Among them is the Crimson Fleet, a gang of dangerous space pirates who terrorize the galaxy in search of profit and thrills. Both of which are for you to enjoy in great quantities if you decide to enrol in their ranks.

That's right. Although they're horrible, horrible people, the Crimson Fleet is a joinable faction, and they are easily the best one, too.

In terms of the narrative, their main mission is the most engaging experience, where you play as a double agent, infiltrating their ranks for the United Colonists, whom you can then betray to become a triple agent!

In terms of gameplay and rewards, the Fleet offers a much wider range of activities and money-earning jobs compared to other factions, ensuring you'll never get bored working for them. And yes, you have to rob and murder a lot of innocent people in the process, but if you don't care about it too much, the space raiders are definitely the best of the best!

Oh, and did I mention that joining the Fleet turns half of the game friendly to you, since most raider outposts belong to them?

Best. Faction. Ever.
