10 Gaming Moments Where You Play Like An Utter Dick

6. Fable Series - More Everything

This is another one of those games that is more or less just designed to let you be a dick. Their logic is sort of circular too; you act evil, which makes you look evil, and so people treat you poorly, causing you to commit even more nefarious deeds. The first real moment you realise you're a dick (or your capabilities as such) comes early in the first game, when you are given your default nickname of "Chicken Chaser". It's normally perfectly apt as at that time in the game you've probably done a fair bit of what that name implies, kicking them for distance. After all, everyone likes a good bit of sport every now and again. If you view these games as being all about your character's self-expression and identity, then Fable 2 is where they really knock it out of the ballpark. There's no more of the linear progression afforded by the first game's armour and stat progression, which caused everyone to have the same character at the end except say, one has horns and the other has a halo. You can really revel in your actions; dress your character up in the outfit you deem the most inappropriate, sacrifice innocents to a cult, or choose all the "bad" story actions so the world becomes dark and bitter. Peter Molyneux really went on about how he wanted to inject the series with some modicum of seriousness in the hopes that players would feel legitimate emotion throughout the story. It's a bit hard to do that though, when you can make your character fart on command.
