10 "Evil" Video Games Where Being Good Pays Off
9. A Good Sith is a Loved Sith - Star Wars The Old Republic
Star Wars: The Old Republic is an MMORPG set in the world of the galaxy far, far away. The player’s character can either join the Republic or the Empire, and as you may imagine, being part of the latter faction involves some pretty messed up, evil things.
A member of the Sith Empire usually finds themselves torturing, killing, and exploiting people for their superiors. As a benefit, they accumulate Dark Side points that can help improve their abilities, but if you’d rather find a date than unlimited power, doing some good in the galaxy is the better alternative to violence!
The unique thing about the Old Republic as an MMO is that it comes with NPC companions for each playable class. Their main duty is to support you in combat, but some of them can be romanced, and among those companions, some can only be romanced if you prove to them that you are good (enough) to be a partner.
Light Side-aligned companions in the Empire include Vette, Ashara, Vector, and Mako. You can technically start being evil after you romance them, but you will have to do a lot of good deeds to raise their affection and even have a chance at love.
Show them not every Sith’s heart is black!
