15 Disturbing Video Game Achievements You Should Be Ashamed Of
15. Seal Slayer (Overlord II)
In fairness to this achievement, in the Overlord games the entire point of the title is to go around spreading cartoon evil and doing dastardly things to undeserving people. So although most of the game indulges in funny little acts of over the top evil, it's all fair game. After all, the title itself puts you in control of a ruthless comic book bad guy. But even then, the second entry into the series’ achievement for killing 100 baby seals is just inexcusable.
Although the entire game has you spreading your evil minions over every level of the title’s map, when you encounter a troop of baby seals, you don’t have to be the bearer of their extinction - it's only a side quest. Even the worst fictional bad guys like Darth Vader had a human side, and probably wouldn’t ever even consider murdering a bunch of harmless seals, virtual or not.
So while this achievement is gained from just “doing your job” as the game’s muahaha'ing villain, that doesn’t mean it excuses you from the guilt you should so rightly feel afterwards.
