Incongruous-Behavior 2 Report post Posted June 15, 2010 I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, however, I didn't know where to post this- and supposed that here made sense. Anyway, I'm an avid fan of RPGs, but never will you see me rooting for the main character, but rather, the antagonist- this applies for books, too - To the main point- Does anyone object to the protagonist of a game that I am thinking of making being a villain? If so, would you be so kind as to tell me why? Surely I am not the only one who prefers the villains. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiriashi 117 Report post Posted June 15, 2010 It's kinda weird that you prefer villains, but I think that it would be rather interesting to play as the bad guy. You're game sure would be unique. By the way, this is the perfect kind of topic to have a poll, you should add one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FranklinX 37 Report post Posted June 15, 2010 This should be in story development. I actually prefer certain villains. In DBZ I always cheered for Freeza, his family, and special forces. They had that edgey vibe that is totally cool for a villain. Kefka in Final Fantasy 6 also had that vibe of being the bad guy who should win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Freeza was a good villain- a bit conceited, though. I didn't think that anyone would agree with me- but it makes me happy that it is not minded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiriashi 117 Report post Posted June 15, 2010 There is no "Story Development" board. There is a "Story & Characterization Support", but Incongruous just wants our opinions on the subject, so this is the perfect place for his development. ;) And I just googled Freeza and saw a picture; I thought his name was boo. xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marked 197 Report post Posted June 15, 2010 I can't think of a playable villian in an RPG.. In DBZ, vegita and {the green guy} were bad guys who eventually became good. The problem with villians in DBZ is that they want to kill everything, so.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polraudio 122 Report post Posted June 15, 2010 Theres only 1 problem with playing as a villain. Where does the story end? Sure you take over the world or whatever your trying to do. But people will want to know what happens after that. Theres really no ending to an all villain story. Its a very good idea but if you can come up with a good story then go for it. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiriashi 117 Report post Posted June 15, 2010 Pol's got a point there. :yes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FranklinX 37 Report post Posted June 15, 2010 I disagree with Pol. There story does not have to be the bad guy trying to rule the world. Maybe he is looking for an object. He could try to kidnap a woman of royalty. A gang of bad guys can simply go on a wild adventure causing problems. The stories can have hangovers to make more games.

clone1018 4 Report post Posted June 15, 2010 I think a totally cool game would be playing the game as a good guy and then right before the ending the lights flash... and suddenly you are the enemy and you play the game again. But your objective is to kill the Hero :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
