8 Times YOU Were More Of A Threat To Society Than The Gaming Villain
1. The New Deity Of Destruction - The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
So here we have it, the game that nearly everyone and their nan's dog has played through at least twice.
A game about ultimate freedom, of ultimate adventure, and ultimately a game in which the villain is doing absolutely naff all for about 99% of it.
Seriously Alduin, get your dragon s**t together mate. Not only did you absolutely toe knife botch killing us at the beginning of the game, you do absolutely nothing to stop our rise to power aside from popping in to set lesser goons on use and mug to the camera. Just get in there and kill us already!
Plus who can take a villain seriously when they patiently wait and watch us complete all manner of menial sidequests for other, arguably more powerful beings? I'll be right with you Al but first I just gotta just drop of a set of cursed cutlery to a Deadric prince. And while we're delivering, stealing, killing, and of course turning people into wheels of cheese, we're building up a rep that overshadows Alduin as a true lord of chaos. You'd be quaking in your boots if the Dragonborn showed up in your town as they're likely to stab your mate in the face, rob you blind, and then yell so loud that your mam was blasted through the bakers window.
At least in the last game Oblivion, the hell gates all over the map reminded you that there was an overarching villain all the time and that they were kind of a big deal.
Plus plus, by the time we even get to this silly scaled sausage we've killed so many dragons that it almost feels boring. So sit down Al, we'll take over from here.
