10 Video Games That Reward You For Being A Jerk
4. A Mean Warden - Dragon Age: Origins
The setting of Dragon Age: Origins is a dark and gritty world that's plagued by a devastating catastrophe, so it only makes sense that sometimes your character would have to make morally questionable choices.
Or most times, if you want to act like a colossal jerk and/or get the best rewards for the missions you complete.
The game feature a lot of moments where acting like a villain or bully grants you more gold or an item, but two missions in particular can actually give you unique, one-of-a-kind rewards for resolving them in the most evil way possible.
The quest for the sacred ashes of Andraste will unlock a powerful Reaver class for your warrior characters if you defile the ashes with blood and anger all of your faithful companions, while the quest where you try to rescue city elves from slavers offers a permanent increase to your Constitution stat if you let the slavers sacrifice the elves in a blood ritual.
There is no other way to earn the said rewards, so if you're one to care about power-scaling your character, you better get ready to break some hearts and ruin some lives.
