10 Video Game Rewards For Absolutely Terrible Things
5. Slayer - Dragon Age: Origins
Given that your Grey Warden in Dragon Age: Origins is trying to end the Darkspawn invasion at all costs, it makes sense that they wouldn't always act like a hero. The game allows you to make some pretty diabolical choices throughout the story, and for some reason, one of them even grants you an achievement.
While trying to ally themselves with the Dalish elves, your Grey Warden comes across a group of angry werewolves. They explain to them that they have been cursed by the Dalish Keeper and that they're attacking his people to force him to cure them.
The player has two rational ways of resolving the conflict. They can either help the werewolves take down the Keeper or help the Keeper take down the werewolves.
However, there is also a not-so-rational choice. Instead of helping resolve the conflict, you can escalate it and make the werewolves slaughter ALL of the elves, thus preventing themselves from getting their cure.
The choice is absolutely evil, as not only do you cause the mass genocide of the elven clan, but you also doom the werewolves to be forever cursed.
But so long as you get an army of werewolves and a sweet achievement, anything goes, right?
