10 Video Game Moments You Played Again (Because You Were TOO EVIL)

5. Dishonored - "Saving" Lady Boyle

I'm not sure I'm cut out for this whole evil lark. It makes me feel this harrowing sense of guilt and regret and, worse than that, I keep having to load previous saves. So let's try to be nice for once, shall we? In one of Dishonored's standout missions, Corvo is tasked with blending in with the well-to-do crowd at a masked party in the exquisite Boyle Estate, and has to find out which of three women is Lady Boyle, his target.

Once you've sleuthed out who the Lady is, you can simply assassinate her if you're a crude unfeeling villain, but we're trying to be um, what's the word... Good! Yes, good. So let's take the non-lethal approach. All we have to do is knock Lady Boyle unconscious and this dodgy-looking man in a scary mask will make sure she's never seen again.

Actually, now that I say that out loud, that does sound suspicious… I think I might have accidentally delivered Lady Boyle to a fate worse than death. I knew I should have just killed her! Trying to be good was a mistake.
