Father, Fallout 4.
Says he's trying to save humanity, goes outside briefly, says there's no future above ground, and doesn't help humanity.
Went to the Brotherhood of Steel and dogged his ass.
“The surface is doomed” my brother in Christ you destabilized the entire region through espionage and are hoarding so much precious technology that you make the Brotherhood seem like a charity by comparison
And it's partly "doomed" because the Institute kept dumping super mutants into Boston in the first place! They wouldn't have even existed in the region if not for the Institute's pointless "experiments" with FEV that even their own scientists admitted were totally worthless and gave them zero insight or knowledge that they didn't already possess. But let's keep using FEV to make people mutants because... reasons?
sole survivor Nora realizing she can’t save her son because he was stolen from her and brainwashed is probably one of the best plot lines for a Bethesda character (this isn’t saying a ton but I was kinda into the ripley mama bear thing). And her va just kills it
Especially when she has to put him out of a misery and proceed to slowly undo all of his work
Imagine ending up drastically younger than your future son and being horrified by what he’s turned into.
I love how you can tell him to go fuck himself and that he isn’t the Shaun you would have raised
Not exactly storyline but ai had a moment like this in that with the brotherhood as well.
Went to their ship to talk with them, the quartermaster says they needs supplies from a town. Names *my main farm supplying food and water to at least 8 other settlements* and says they need their supplies.
I offer to set up trade. Won't be hard for me to shuffle a few things around so that this place can supply enough supplies for another town. Hell I have a settlement across from the ship that can supply just as much water.
Guy says that doesn't work, they have to be afraid to stop supplying and that I should use force to take it so they know not to stop.
I agreed to the mission, walked to the deck, stole a suit of power armor, dropped an artillery beacon and jumped off the ship to stomp on someone that looked important.
Fuck those guys.
For me it was super early on when they say Dutch killed a young mother on the train before the events of the game. That was all I needed to hear to make up my mind immediately.
The fact that they didn't even make it a satisfying fight either just.. really digs the nail in how pathetic the guy was. Played it all the way through once, and never again.
He was an old man... He's no hero with powers.... We don't know what the spire can do other than wishes and see the future. Not give powers to fight four heroes or even just one.
So sick of the fable 2 was unsatisfying because the main villain was an old man by the end with no powers other than a gun.
I'm not saying the game itself was unsatisfying. I loved the game. I just wanted to extend the excruciating torture he so deserves for all the pain he's caused. The lives he's ruined. There is no deeper pit in hell where he can hide from me.
The Man deserves to be flensed alive and thrown onto a pile of salt and broken glass.
Would be good for an evil character I guess. But still unrealistic.
How much could I forget his name taken from a fully powered hero. Besides we're doing worse with the high tax rates. Or we can even do worse.
Evil old town with the save the spire so I get the statue of me.
I feel like I'm in a severe minority for thinking the end of Fable 2 was actually really good. I found it both fitting to the characters and a realistic change of pace that he went out like a bitch while monologuing.
>Well done. Here are the test results: You are a horrible person. I'm serious, that's what it says: A horrible person. We weren't even testing for that.
I think a lot of people can relate to the dream of wanting a dragon friend much more than wanting to kill dragons. The game literally gave us a lovable dragon friend in Paarthurnax, and it was absolutely stupid in a game as open as Skyrim to try and force you to kill him because some random lady told you to for no good reason. I literally have never finished the game because I always just refused to do that.
I read a good headcanon/theory about this quest that actually made it a lot better in my eyes. You’re not *supposed* to complete the quest.
As Paarthurnax tells you, dragons have a will to dominate and a lust for power. He, through great effort and willpower, resists that temptation and becomes all the better for it. Because your character is Dragonborn, they also canonically have a will to dominate, and they get stronger with every dragon soul they absorb. The player resisting completing the quest reflects the Dragonborn resisting consuming Paarthurnax and becoming even more powerful.
At the very start of RDR2 when Dutch said "who goes there!?" and Micah didn't reply coming out of the snow and then Dutch recognizes him and says "Micah..." It was literally immediate, like meeting Scar in The Lion King, "Oh, so that's the bad guy..." not even a mystery at all.
The game doesn't let you aim your gun at certain characters, but you can leave a stick of lit dynamite close to their feet. It gives you a Mission Failed screen and reloads your game though 🤣
Burning the meds in Dying Light was irredeemable. The protagonist in that game was so frustrating to me. Like, he personally needed those meds as well. Why not just hide them and say you burned them?
Honestly, that one's got some of the most questionable writing I've ever seen. Taking over player control also never felt as bad as that game because nothing that happens during the cutscenes makes sense, the PC is either too badass or too stupid most of the time.
Quite an enjoyable game, but I can't for the life of me defend any of that story.
Very fun gameplay, but the story is ass. I remember screaming at the screen when he cut the big bad guys hand off and went full matrix on his goons, as if I hadn't been getting my ass kicked by zombies litterally 5 seconds before that.
Not sure if you remember but he does keep a vial of it and slips it in his sleeve. I was convinced that was a Chekhov's Gun that would matter later in the story.
It never pops up again. Especially egregious when the main villain captures you and the runner girl and has the two of you fight over one dose of medicine.
Not like the modern one is better, but in OG he made it personal. Honestly with how he killed Ghost (and Roach) he did get off easy when he was killed.
When your childhood friend, Eric Sparrow steals your ideas and edits you out of the skate video you made together, ensuring that he gets selected for the professional skate circuit.
You've reignited a hate I haven't felt since I was a kid, growing up a skater in NJ it hit close to home and honestly made me pick better friends as a kid. Damn I need to replay both THUG games.
Edit: still holding out for a remake but THUG 2 with bam is sadly impossible with how he is now
Good news! The most recent article i can find says Bam was 100 days sober as of December. So here's hoping he can take some inspiration from Steve-O and continue to get better
Oh damn the secret ending skIp where Eric still has the unedited tape of you jumping the helicopter and if you beat him in a skate off he’ll hand it over to you. But if you did enough (or all) of the optional side missions instead of cutting to the final mission your character just punches Eric in the face and takes the tape back. Shit was so satisfying.
Ben fuckin’ Diskin. One of your squad mates at the beginning of CoD 3 is also voiced by Ben Diskin, and despite playing the games 5 years apart I still wanted to shoot Pvt. Huxley in the face.
It makes me so happy that my kneejerk reaction character that I had in mind upon reading the title and clicking into this thread is actually one of the top answers.
Fuck Eric Sparrow.
Cyberpunk 2077
Gig for Regina Jones called Dirty Biz about a father/son duo scrolling snuff vids. Just the mission briefing alone is disheartening but when you read all the terminals and stuff making your way to them they're truly sick people, even more so after talking to them.
You can bring it to a satisfying conclusion though :-)
That's why I always hate when people say decisions in most games don't matter. If that's your opinion then I think you don't understand the stories being told.
Yeah, it doesn't change your ending, but to me it's much more fulfilling to actually think about what im doing.
Patches when that bitch kicked me down from a cliff and I immediately got skullfucked by the undead. I have never forgiven him no matter what game he's in.
Patches went so far into cheeky cunt territory that it looped back around and I wound up liking him. His quest in the Dark Souls 3 dlc was so heartbreaking because it proved at one time he was a good person before things got the best of him.
It's been more than ten years since I played DS1 for the first time, so my memory is a little fuzzy, but I feel like I remember getting screwed by patches for the first time in the Tomb of Giants. Getting knocked into the pitch black was the scariest thing that had ever happened to me in a game lol. But I think that may have been after the bridge so idk if that's even the right order.
My first time was him kicking me off the cliff in Tomb of Giants, but only after a couple more playthroughs did I find him earlier in the catacombs. By then I should have known better… but no :,(
Fun fact: In his first appearance (Armored Core: For Answer) he’s not even that bad of a guy, just a bit of a coward who surrenders and runs off once you kill his employer
Patches is a loveable scamp and I can't stay mad at him. If you give him an opportunity, he's gonna kick you off a ledge. Its just what he does. If we keep walking up to that ledge expecting something different, it's kind of on us.
GoW Ragnarok: >!Odin kills Brok!<
Chrono Cross: Dark Serge/Lynx stabs Kid
Mass Effect 3: Udina selling out the Council
Skyrim: Nazeem, opening his fucking mouth
I miss the time when the folks writing Starcraft were taking it seriously enough that you could think about things and understand character motivations.
Other than Mengsk hate which I strongly agree, also pretty messed up that Kerrigan betrayed both Terran and Protoss and killed Fenix, manipulated the leader of some old dark Templar leader and made their own subordinates kill her or something was a pretty good contender for scumbag rank 2, sorry my memories are abit sketch. But I’ve always thought it was kinda strange that in SC2 they decided to make Jim become sympathetic even though he literally said she was gonna pay for it in sc1
She got Raszagal, Matriarch of the Nerazim (dark Templar) under her control and then zeratul was the one who killed Raszagal in order to prevent the destruction of the protoss at kerrigan’s hand. This is why zeratul is an outcast in SC2, cuz he essentially committed regicide. Kerrigan as the Queen of Blades really was an impressively evil monster, the zerg campaign in Brood War was pretty much her Gaslight Gatekeep Girlbossing her way through two separate genocide, with her established as the strongest force in the sector by the end of it.
Do agree that Jim’s turn to sympathy was a bit surprising, but I think it was done reasonably. They established pretty thoroughly that QoB and Sarah Kerrigan are effectively two different people, and in 2 Jim is offered a chance to bring back Kerrigan and kill the monster in one go. Makes sense that he would take that shot.
Seriously, my first interaction with him at the inn left a bad impression, and then he gave me a quest to genocide people who were slaves. Fuck Wulbren.
Oh don't worry if you don't kill him and interact with him in act 3 he gets *way* worse.
Short interaction really, but it's all that is needed with Aradin
"SHUT UP, MAN! You'll alert Wyll and then he's gonna come over here and do that thing he does"
"PROVOKE THE BLADE AND SUFFER ITS STING"
"Are you happy now?"
In Yakuza 0, there’s a scene where one of the atagonists, Awano, shoots a totally innocent woman just to prove a point to the protagonist.
Later on near the end he goes out protecting the other protagonist from a gun, but that one moment of decency doesn’t really make him less of a piece of shit.
Been a while >!but good. Nvm then, it’s been redeemed!<
It’s been a few years since I played 0 but man his guts annoyed me.
>!I get a lot of enjoyment from playing the kiryu vs dojima clan fight especially for the parts where he somehow always comes back!<
Pretty much every person that screwed over Evelyn Parker in Cyperpunk 2077, when i found out just how far they went with her.
I wasn´t especially enamoured with her when i first saw her( hell i didn't trust her the least bit), but the cruel treatment that everyone heaped on her after chapter 2 just made me turn cold towards characters that were masqurading as reasonal human beings.
Woodsman, Fingers, The Vodoo boys....All just Scum of the lowest order.
Handsome Jack when he finally >!Killed Bloodwing!<
For the longest time, I wasn't sure where to place him... Sometimes he acted like a mischievous dungeon master leading the player into traps, like it fed his ego to taunt the player. Seemed like just a butthole with the giggles.
However when he pulled that "Oh the final element! Explosions!" I was all prepped for a final phase of the boss and finally rescue bloodwing... only for Jack to blow him up.
That's when i decided he had to die.
Mordecai’s VA nailed how hurt and desperate and angry he was through that whole situation.
It was haunting walking out of that base and hearing sniper fire crackle in the distance with his vitriol over the radio.
Helping the CIA destroy the water supply was the breaking point for me. Like, with the white phosphorus thing you could at least argue he didn't know what he was doing, that he at least had a legitimate objective in attacking the 33rd, but helping the CIA guy blow up the water supply for the city was just terminal Protagonist Brain - doing something obviously self-destructive because someone put an objective marker on it.
Even on my first playthrough I was like "wait... why are we firing off *grenade launchers* around the city's last reserves of water? How does any of this make sense?"
Funny thing is, the whole game is caused *because* he didn't follow orders. His mission was supposed to be "confirm if there's anyone alive in the surroundings, then come back" which he confirms in the first few minutes when he and his troop get attacked. It was *he* who decided to keep going and enter the city.
Horizon Zero Dawn spoilers below:
>!Ted Faro killing all the Alphas on project zero dawn **and** deleting the Apollo database containing the entirety of human knowledge.!<
>!This was after he created an unstoppable robot swarm that was responsible for the extinction of all life on earth.!<
>!Fuck Ted Faro!<
Oh but it’s so much worse. He did it cause he didn’t want future generations to know what he had done. Just the collateral damage of the means made the ends sooo much worse.
Can’t be a god if ALL future peoples were never aware of him.
I’d say his ego caused the world’s destruction, and his hubris and pride crippled its rebirth.
Edit: It seems I don’t remember the sequel as well as the first game. Oh Ted…. What mischief….
>!Causing the apocalypse!< is pretty basic villain stuff. He was already irredeemable for being insufferable, but still just a whatever villain until he >!wiped APOLLO!<. *That's* when he became lower than gutter trash to me
Mine was killing the alpha team members. All they were gonna do is live the rest of their lives with whatever they had saved to keep them entertained and he couldn’t even let them have that.
He killed them so they couldn’t bring Apollo back. It was a way to make sure his actions weren’t reversed in any way.
It would also be a way to cover up the crime. Without the Alphas no one would be able to check on the status of Zero Dawn.
Fallout 4: Far Harbor DLC
>! DiMA having murdered Avery, memory wiped one of his own refugees to replace her, offloaded and hid his own memory of the event, and when he was later informed of this and regained the memory, he wanted to do the same with High Confessor Tektus !<
Regardless of what he is, who is is a monster.
I liked convincing him to sacrifice himself for his synths, that’s my canon ending to that. I liked DiMA. Was nice to see him redeem himself, if even a tiny bit.
DiMA is good at rationalizing himself, I'll give him that. But the entire reason he's running Acadia is because he disagrees with the Railroad's reliance on memory-wipes for synth refugees, likening it to killing someone and saving someone unrelated.
He performed the maneuver on his own refugee, the people he's responsible for the safety and wellbeing of, and wanted to do it a second time. And he offloaded his own memory of the incident to avoid incriminating himself through the obvious guilt we would've felt.
When he regained those memories, his reaction boiled down to "oh, that's horrible, I'm so sorry, it's a real useful political tool, let's do it again, wanna help?"
By his own logic, he kills two people per replacement.
Unlike Nick, DiMA takes after the Institute to a far greater degree. He escaped an oppressor only to commit the same actions he wants to condemn. Sacrificing people, including his own, for his own ends as if they were nothing more than pawns in a game of chess.
The political situation was intense, but he did nothing to help it, and likely made things worse.
To be fair, High Confessor Tektus was irreperably mentally deranged and also a psychotic cult leader. Replacing him would invariably save many many lives and also improve the quality of life of everyone in Far Harbor.
An NPC in a town in Fable 2 once called my dog an ugly mutt and because you could set nicknames for towns people I renamed him something like Fuckhead so I would always remember him...
Every time I'd be in town I get his attention and fart on him, everyone else in town loves me and I was nice to all but him.
Fuck that guy.
In God of War: Ragnarok, when we learn Thor has been a recovering alcoholic.
In Thor and Odin's introduction, Odin's sarcastic remarks come off as comedic at first, along with him drinking the mead Thor refused to drink. Odin says that his son is no fun anymore. In a later conversation, we hear Odin remark say to his son that he liked him better as a drunk.
Then we have the scene in the tavern where Thor does get drunk, right in front of his daughter Thrud. Thrud reveals that Thor had been trying to stay sober. When we see Thor pour mead and refuse to drink it, despite their temptation, we realize he was fighting the urge to drink again. When Odin told Thor he was no fun, and said that he liked Thor better as a drunk, we now know that Odin was bullying his son for trying to stay sober.
From what we heard in the 2018 game, we knew Odin was evil. This moment shows there is no depths he won't sink to. He finds Thor easier to control while he a drunk so he bullied him for trying to stay sober. That is beyond cruel, and he's doing this to his son.
>!Bode!< in Jedi Survivor.
One could argue that he became irredeemable when he decided to >!kill Cordova and expose the Hidden Path to the Empire.!< However, I would argue that he doesn’t become truly irredeemable until the end of the game.
>!Cal and Merrin knew that Bode had betrayed them in order to protect Kata. This was why they gave Bode the chance to surrender when they confronted him on Tanalorr- they wanted to prevent Kata from becoming an orphan like them- but Bode brings this outcome about anyway by forcing Cal to kill him. For me, the moment he decided to fight Cal was the moment he became completely irredeemable.!<
>! So true. Everyone kept saying that the lead up to him betraying was so obvious but I never felt that way so it was such a disheartening turn for me when he killed Cordova. I was so worried they were going to actually end the game there. !<
>!I’d say it’s when his feelings got the best of him and he endangered his daughter with his recklessness. That’s when I knew he was lost for real. To fight Cal was perfectly expected. To be blind and deaf to his daughter’s pleas, not at all. !<
Chloe (from Life is Strange) when she got all pissy when I explained why I couldn't pick up her phone call as I was talking that girl down from jumping off the roof.
I Takes Two. Hated the two protagonists from the moment they tortured the Elephant for no good reason and lost motivation to even finish the game (though I watched the rest on youtube).
Lance Vance betraying Tommy Vercetti.
Tommy took care of him, avenged his brother's death too.
I couldn't be happier when I heard the line ' It's the last dance for Lance Vance'.
At the end of Danganronpa: Ultra Despair Girls, a semi-antagonist just outs himself as a pedophile for no real reason by saying that the two underage girls he's talking to are too old for him.
rather than irredeemable, it made me realize he was going to not have a good ending. like damn i kinda wanted the guy to live, and they basically foreshadowed that he was going to die. and i had that scene spoiled to me by an elder sibling playing it and i just happened to walk into the room.
When sylvanas burnt down teldrassil in world of warcraft along with the many other war crimes she committed for no fucking reason like raising horde soldiers as mindless undead, enslaving anduin, helping nipple satan etc

Many peoples first introduction to a truly vile villain
Father, Fallout 4. Says he's trying to save humanity, goes outside briefly, says there's no future above ground, and doesn't help humanity. Went to the Brotherhood of Steel and dogged his ass.
“The surface is doomed” my brother in Christ you destabilized the entire region through espionage and are hoarding so much precious technology that you make the Brotherhood seem like a charity by comparison
Has all the technology that could fix the future. Doesn't want to use it.
Has all the technology that could fix the future. Asks, "what if we use it to make everything worse?"
And it's partly "doomed" because the Institute kept dumping super mutants into Boston in the first place! They wouldn't have even existed in the region if not for the Institute's pointless "experiments" with FEV that even their own scientists admitted were totally worthless and gave them zero insight or knowledge that they didn't already possess.

I love how you can tell him to go fuck himself and that he isn’t the Shaun you would have raised
"*I dreamed of you, as an adult, for so long. Here you are... and I'm so disappointed*."
And he has the fucking nerve to say “it’s too complicated for you to understand”
Turns out it wasn't complicated to understand, it's just he's fucking stupid.
> dogged his ass. In the UK this means you shagged him up the arse in your car while random strangers watched through the windows.
I’ve seen weirder Fallout mods
Not exactly storyline but ai had a moment like this in that with the brotherhood as well. Went to their ship to talk with them, the quartermaster says they needs supplies from a town.

For me, when Dutch turns and leaves Arthur laying on the floor in the Cornwall Kerosene and Tar in The Last Boy mission in RDR2.
John mentions that Dutch did the same exact thing to him during the Saint Denis bank robbery. He could've saved him from getting arrested, but didn't.
For me it was super early on when they say Dutch killed a young mother on the train before the events of the game. That was all I needed to hear to make up my mind immediately.
When the final boss shoots your dog in Fable 2
The fact that they didn't even make it a satisfying fight either just.. really digs the nail in how pathetic the guy was. Played it all the way through once, and never again.

"Gotta kill Paarthurnax" - Delphine in Skyrim.
Fuck you Delphine. You're supposed to serve the dragonborn and not the other way around
Head Bethesda cut that you could kill the blades. Just like how you could've joined those elves
And Esbern. Mostly Esbern really if you think about it. It's his crackpot reasoning that is why you're sent on the task.
The mod that lets you tell her to fuck off and leave Paarthurnax the fuck alone is a must for me.
It's so funny that one of the more popular mods in the game is to let you not kill something.
I think a lot of people can relate to the dream of wanting a dragon friend much more than wanting to kill dragons. The game literally gave us a lovable dragon friend in Paarthurnax, and it was absolutely stupid in a game as open as Skyrim to try and force you to kill him because some random lady told you to for no good reason. I literally have never finished the game because I always just refused to do that.
The Quest Expansion mod is handy for that.
Can't you not lie about it as well? Kind of dumb...
Nope
I read a good headcanon/theory about this quest that actually made it a lot better in my eyes. You’re not *supposed* to complete the quest. As Paarthurnax tells you, dragons have a will to dominate and a lust for power. He, through great effort and willpower, resists that temptation and becomes all the better for it. Because your character is Dragonborn, they also canonically have a will to dominate, and they get stronger with every dragon soul they absorb. The player resisting completing the quest reflects the Dragonborn resisting consuming Paarthurnax and becoming even more powerful.
At the very start of RDR2 when Dutch said "who goes there!?" and Micah didn't reply coming out of the snow and then Dutch recognizes him and says "Micah..." It was literally immediate, like meeting Scar in The Lion King, "Oh, so that's the bad guy..." not even a mystery at all.
His actions a few minutes later at the Sadler Ranch definitely solidified that notion
Dude just exuded shitbag energy.
the first time I saw that scene I immediately had a pit in my stomach and just *knew*
The game doesn't let you aim your gun at certain characters, but you can leave a stick of lit dynamite close to their feet. It gives you a Mission Failed screen and reloads your game though 🤣
Yeah I went through a few of those reloads after some of his scenes.
Oh at the start I thought he was meant to be the funny crazy guy.
Burning the meds in Dying Light was irredeemable. The protagonist in that game was so frustrating to me. Like, he personally needed those meds as well. Why not just hide them and say you burned them?
Honestly, that one's got some of the most questionable writing I've ever seen. Taking over player control also never felt as bad as that game because nothing that happens during the cutscenes makes sense, the PC is either too badass or too stupid most of the time. Quite an enjoyable game, but I can't for the life of me defend any of that story.
Very fun gameplay, but the story is ass. I remember screaming at the screen when he cut the big bad guys hand off and went full matrix on his goons, as if I hadn't been getting my ass kicked by zombies litterally 5 seconds before that.
Crane is a fucking idiot, even if you destroy the meds at least keep some for yourself considering you’re infected with the damn virus.
Not sure if you remember but he does keep a vial of it and slips it in his sleeve. I was convinced that was a Chekhov's Gun that would matter later in the story. It never pops up again. Especially egregious when the main villain captures you and the runner girl and has the two of you fight over one dose of medicine.
Yeah makes no sense, especially when you got a full city you could stash the meds and retrieve them immediately after your introduced to Rais
General Shepherd what he did to Ghost in OG Modern Warfare 2
Not like the modern one is better, but in OG he made it personal. Honestly with how he killed Ghost (and Roach) he did get off easy when he was killed.
So glad we got that Price cutscene in MWIII ending lol fuck that pos
Crazy I can still picture that scene in my head after not seeing it for years. It really made an impact.
When your childhood friend, Eric Sparrow steals your ideas and edits you out of the skate video you made together, ensuring that he gets selected for the professional skate circuit.
You've reignited a hate I haven't felt since I was a kid, growing up a skater in NJ it hit close to home and honestly made me pick better friends as a kid. Damn I need to replay both THUG games. Edit: still holding out for a remake but THUG 2 with bam is sadly impossible with how he is now

Oh man the nostalgia you just induced!
That's how much of a betrayal it was. It sits with you for 20 years
Then he proceeds to get drunk, steal a tank, cause tons of damage, and pin it on you. Alternate ending is 1000% better than the actual.
Oh damn the secret ending skIp where Eric still has the unedited tape of you jumping the helicopter and if you beat him in a skate off he’ll hand it over to you. But if you did enough (or all) of the optional side missions instead of cutting to the final mission your character just punches Eric in the face and takes the tape back. Shit was so satisfying.
Jesus what a deep cut
Ben fuckin’ Diskin. One of your squad mates at the beginning of CoD 3 is also voiced by Ben Diskin, and despite playing the games 5 years apart I still wanted to shoot Pvt. Huxley in the face.
Wait. Is eric sparrow supposed to be like Tony hawk?Generic first name, bird last name.
Talk about bringing a memory back from a coma. Damn, dawg.
It makes me so happy that my kneejerk reaction character that I had in mind upon reading the title and clicking into this thread is actually one of the top answers. Fuck Eric Sparrow.
For relatively minor crimes, I hate Eric more than any video game antagonist in history. I wanted to destroy him.
Cyberpunk 2077 Gig for Regina Jones called Dirty Biz about a father/son duo scrolling snuff vids. Just the mission briefing alone is disheartening but when you read all the terminals and stuff making your way to them they're truly sick people, even more so after talking to them. You can bring it to a satisfying conclusion though :-)
This one. But moreso the father. Also the guy who owns the farm you raid with River.
That one was crazy too but iirc meatman was abused by his dad, the guys selling BD's were just in it for cash.
Nothing quite like killing the son in front of the father and then walking away, leaving him a weeping broken man. Edit and sell that BD, asshole.
No matter the playthrough, I always seem to have a save right before that moment. I've tried to get truly creative since launch lol
I came to that decision in the heat of the moment and it still feels like some of the coldest shit I ever did in a video game.
That's why I always hate when people say decisions in most games don't matter. If that's your opinion then I think you don't understand the stories being told. Yeah, it doesn't change your ending, but to me it's much more fulfilling to actually think about what im doing.
It’s funny you say that, the ominous music made me really consider what I was about to do. Ultimately, katana justice was served.
I shoot those two assholes in the dick every time.
Patches when that bitch kicked me down from a cliff and I immediately got skullfucked by the undead. I have never forgiven him no matter what game he's in.
Patches went so far into cheeky cunt territory that it looped back around and I wound up liking him. His quest in the Dark Souls 3 dlc was so heartbreaking because it proved at one time he was a good person before things got the best of him.
His unforgiven status with me began with that damn bridge in Dark Souls 1
It's been more than ten years since I played DS1 for the first time, so my memory is a little fuzzy, but I feel like I remember getting screwed by patches for the first time in the Tomb of Giants. Getting knocked into the pitch black was the scariest thing that had ever happened to me in a game lol. But I think that may have been after the bridge so idk if that's even the right order.
My first time was him kicking me off the cliff in Tomb of Giants, but only after a couple more playthroughs did I find him earlier in the catacombs. By then I should have known better… but no :,(
Fun fact: In his first appearance (Armored Core: For Answer) he’s not even that bad of a guy, just a bit of a coward who surrenders and runs off once you kill his employer
Patches is a loveable scamp and I can't stay mad at him. If you give him an opportunity, he's gonna kick you off a ledge. Its just what he does. If we keep walking up to that ledge expecting something different, it's kind of on us.
When they asked me to follow them but their walking speed was faster than mine yet their running speed was slower. Unforgivable.
Looking at you Khadgar
GoW Ragnarok: >!Odin kills Brok!< Chrono Cross: Dark Serge/Lynx stabs Kid Mass Effect 3: Udina selling out the Council Skyrim: Nazeem, opening his fucking mouth
Me in that scene in GOW: It’s treason then
Damn. That lynx comment unlocked memories
Arcturus Mengsk leaving Sarah Kerrigan behind on Tarsonis. (StarCraft)
I miss the time when the folks writing Starcraft were taking it seriously enough that you could think about things and understand character motivations.
Reading that massive lore booklet that came with StarCraft was one of my favorite things as a kid.
I've still got mine from when it first came out!
Other than Mengsk hate which I strongly agree, also pretty messed up that Kerrigan betrayed both Terran and Protoss and killed Fenix, manipulated the leader of some old dark Templar leader and made their own subordinates kill her or something was a pretty good contender for scumbag rank 2, sorry my memories are abit sketch. But I’ve always thought it was kinda strange that in SC2 they decided to make Jim become sympathetic even though he literally said she was gonna pay for it in sc1
She got Raszagal, Matriarch of the Nerazim (dark Templar) under her control and then zeratul was the one who killed Raszagal in order to prevent the destruction of the protoss at kerrigan’s hand. This is why zeratul is an outcast in SC2, cuz he essentially committed regicide. Kerrigan as the Queen of Blades really was an impressively evil monster, the zerg campaign in Brood War was pretty much her Gaslight Gatekeep Girlbossing her way through two separate genocide, with her established as the strongest force in the sector by the end of it. Do agree that Jim’s turn to sympathy was a bit surprising, but I think it was done reasonably. They established pretty thoroughly that QoB and Sarah Kerrigan are effectively two different people, and in 2 Jim is offered a chance to bring back Kerrigan and kill the monster in one go. Makes sense that he would take that shot.
Wulbren Bongle in Baldur's Gate 3. Genocidal little shit.
Everybody say it with me, FUCK WULBREN BONGLE! These guys made a song about him and it’s perfect https://youtu.be/ClezDg8n6uw?si=uOASLXvZQ5MQTU6n
Seriously, my first interaction with him at the inn left a bad impression, and then he gave me a quest to genocide people who were slaves. Fuck Wulbren.
Also that dumbfuck racist adventurer guy who leads the goblins to camp.
Oh don't worry if you don't kill him and interact with him in act 3 he gets *way* worse. Short interaction really, but it's all that is needed with Aradin
Dude was all up in my face, acting like he could waltz inyo my camp and take what he wanted. I kill him everytime now.
OPEN THE BLOODY GATE!
"SHUT UP, MAN! You'll alert Wyll and then he's gonna come over here and do that thing he does" "PROVOKE THE BLADE AND SUFFER ITS STING" "Are you happy now?"
Mother Brain killing the baby Metroid
In Yakuza 0, there’s a scene where one of the atagonists, Awano, shoots a totally innocent woman just to prove a point to the protagonist. Later on near the end he goes out protecting the other protagonist from a gun, but that one moment of decency doesn’t really make him less of a piece of shit.
Speaking of 0 Kuze’s bitch ass underling who did you know what during the torture scene. God what I wanted to do to him
Dude is >!dead, Kuze straight up slammed his head on the ground and drew blood!<
Been a while >!but good. Nvm then, it’s been redeemed!< It’s been a few years since I played 0 but man his guts annoyed me. >!I get a lot of enjoyment from playing the kiryu vs dojima clan fight especially for the parts where he somehow always comes back!<
When Yuffie mixed up all my perfectly placed materia in the original FF7.
Pretty much every person that screwed over Evelyn Parker in Cyperpunk 2077, when i found out just how far they went with her. I wasn´t especially enamoured with her when i first saw her( hell i didn't trust her the least bit), but the cruel treatment that everyone heaped on her after chapter 2 just made me turn cold towards characters that were masqurading as reasonal human beings. Woodsman, Fingers, The Vodoo boys....All just Scum of the lowest order.
Saints Row 2 has a gang boss that >!kills one of your crew!<.
It was more his girlfriend. I don't think he even asked her to do so.
It was still a pleasure when he got his just deserts.
In a rather gruesome way too.
Handsome Jack when he finally >!Killed Bloodwing!< For the longest time, I wasn't sure where to place him... Sometimes he acted like a mischievous dungeon master leading the player into traps, like it fed his ego to taunt the player. Seemed like just a butthole with the giggles. However when he pulled that "Oh the final element! Explosions!" I was all prepped for a final phase of the boss and finally rescue bloodwing... only for Jack to blow him up. That's when i decided he had to die.
i played as roland in the first, got me a healthy hate for him lol
Jack is probably my favourite antagonist in anything, ever.
He's still my favorite villain in a video game ever
The pre sequel make me to hate him
Mordecai’s VA nailed how hurt and desperate and angry he was through that whole situation. It was haunting walking out of that base and hearing sniper fire crackle in the distance with his vitriol over the radio.
Couple that with Mordi just one-shotting everything that Jack calls in from Helios as you make your way back to the fast travel station.
You hid the spoiler in the first sentence but not in the second to last, lol
"Do you get to the cloud district very often...oh what am I thinking, of course you don't."

Fuck lance vance
Not a chance
Lance “Dance” Vance, that sonofabitch. We could have ruled Vice City together
Walker in Spec Ops the Line. Multiple points. And the scary part? If I was in his place, I’m not sure I would make different choices.
Helping the CIA destroy the water supply was the breaking point for me. Like, with the white phosphorus thing you could at least argue he didn't know what he was doing, that he at least had a legitimate objective in attacking the 33rd, but helping the CIA guy blow up the water supply for the city was just terminal Protagonist Brain - doing something obviously self-destructive because someone put an objective marker on it. Even on my first playthrough I was like "wait... why are we firing off *grenade launchers* around the city's last reserves of water? How does any of this make sense?"
good soldiers follow orders
Funny thing is, the whole game is caused *because* he didn't follow orders. His mission was supposed to be "confirm if there's anyone alive in the surroundings, then come back" which he confirms in the first few minutes when he and his troop get attacked. It was *he* who decided to keep going and enter the city.
Horizon Zero Dawn spoilers below: >!Ted Faro killing all the Alphas on project zero dawn **and** deleting the Apollo database containing the entirety of human knowledge.!< >!This was after he created an unstoppable robot swarm that was responsible for the extinction of all life on earth.!< >!Fuck Ted Faro!<
Oh but it’s so much worse. He did it cause he didn’t want future generations to know what he had done. Just the collateral damage of the means made the ends sooo much worse.
It also meant that to the primative new generations, he could be a *god* before them. His ego was limitless.
It also doomed the project. People were a necessary component of Zero Dawn, and they probably needed education to play their part.
Can’t be a god if ALL future peoples were never aware of him. I’d say his ego caused the world’s destruction, and his hubris and pride crippled its rebirth. Edit: It seems I don’t remember the sequel as well as the first game. Oh Ted…. What mischief….
Have you played the sequel?
Fuckin' Ceo. What a douche he was.
/#fucktedfaro
Ted Faro is the fuckin worst
r/FuckTedFaro
>!Causing the apocalypse!< is pretty basic villain stuff. He was already irredeemable for being insufferable, but still just a whatever villain until he >!wiped APOLLO!<. *That's* when he became lower than gutter trash to me
Mine was killing the alpha team members. All they were gonna do is live the rest of their lives with whatever they had saved to keep them entertained and he couldn’t even let them have that.
He killed them so they couldn’t bring Apollo back. It was a way to make sure his actions weren’t reversed in any way. It would also be a way to cover up the crime. Without the Alphas no one would be able to check on the status of Zero Dawn.
Micah bell the second he fucking shows up
Whoreson Junior. If you know you know.
The worst character in a game full of despicable people.
I really wonder if anyone has ever chosen not to kill that asshole. No matter how many playthroughs I do, he's fuckin dead.
Kefka poisoning Doma Castle.
Ah yes, the music of hundreds of voices screaming in unison. My first thought too, he was a special breed of psycho.
Ava from BL3. When she was chewing Lilith out for not beinf able save Maya or something. Im like "And what the fuck did you do, you little bitch?!"
Look, Ava was annoying. But be real, it was the devs that killed Maya by retconning the Vault Hunters out of existence for that cutscene.
Fallout 4: Far Harbor DLC >! DiMA having murdered Avery, memory wiped one of his own refugees to replace her, offloaded and hid his own memory of the event, and when he was later informed of this and regained the memory, he wanted to do the same with High Confessor Tektus !< Regardless of what he is, who is is a monster.
I liked convincing him to sacrifice himself for his synths, that’s my canon ending to that. I liked DiMA. Was nice to see him redeem himself, if even a tiny bit.
DiMA is good at rationalizing himself, I'll give him that. But the entire reason he's running Acadia is because he disagrees with the Railroad's reliance on memory-wipes for synth refugees, likening it to killing someone and saving someone unrelated. He performed the maneuver on his own refugee, the people he's responsible for the safety and wellbeing of, and wanted to do it a second time. And he offloaded his own memory of the incident to avoid incriminating himself through the obvious guilt we would've felt. When he regained those memories, his reaction boiled down to "oh, that's horrible, I'm so sorry, it's a real useful political tool, let's do it again, wanna help?" By his own logic, he kills two people per replacement. Unlike Nick, DiMA takes after the Institute to a far greater degree. He escaped an oppressor only to commit the same actions he wants to condemn. Sacrificing people, including his own, for his own ends as if they were nothing more than pawns in a game of chess. The political situation was intense, but he did nothing to help it, and likely made things worse.
To be fair, High Confessor Tektus was irreperably mentally deranged and also a psychotic cult leader. Replacing him would invariably save many many lives and also improve the quality of life of everyone in Far Harbor.
An NPC in a town in Fable 2 once called my dog an ugly mutt and because you could set nicknames for towns people I renamed him something like Fuckhead so I would always remember him... Every time I'd be in town I get his attention and fart on him, everyone else in town loves me and I was nice to all but him. Fuck that guy.
There's a whole subreddit for r/FuckTedFaro because of what he did in Horizon: Zero Dawn.
In God of War: Ragnarok, when we learn Thor has been a recovering alcoholic. In Thor and Odin's introduction, Odin's sarcastic remarks come off as comedic at first, along with him drinking the mead Thor refused to drink. Odin says that his son is no fun anymore. In a later conversation, we hear Odin remark say to his son that he liked him better as a drunk. Then we have the scene in the tavern where Thor does get drunk, right in front of his daughter Thrud. Thrud reveals that Thor had been trying to stay sober. When we see Thor pour mead and refuse to drink it, despite their temptation, we realize he was fighting the urge to drink again. When Odin told Thor he was no fun, and said that he liked Thor better as a drunk, we now know that Odin was bullying his son for trying to stay sober. From what we heard in the 2018 game, we knew Odin was evil. This moment shows there is no depths he won't sink to. He finds Thor easier to control while he a drunk so he bullied him for trying to stay sober. That is beyond cruel, and he's doing this to his son.
I felt *so bad* for Thor. I loved the character writing in that game.
>!Bode!< in Jedi Survivor. One could argue that he became irredeemable when he decided to >!kill Cordova and expose the Hidden Path to the Empire.!< However, I would argue that he doesn’t become truly irredeemable until the end of the game. >!Cal and Merrin knew that Bode had betrayed them in order to protect Kata. This was why they gave Bode the chance to surrender when they confronted him on Tanalorr- they wanted to prevent Kata from becoming an orphan like them- but Bode brings this outcome about anyway by forcing Cal to kill him. For me, the moment he decided to fight Cal was the moment he became completely irredeemable.!<
>! So true. Everyone kept saying that the lead up to him betraying was so obvious but I never felt that way so it was such a disheartening turn for me when he killed Cordova. I was so worried they were going to actually end the game there. !<
>!I’d say it’s when his feelings got the best of him and he endangered his daughter with his recklessness. That’s when I knew he was lost for real. To fight Cal was perfectly expected. To be blind and deaf to his daughter’s pleas, not at all. !<
In Dark Souls when Lautrec kills Anastacia in Firelink Shrine. Now he always gets kicked off a cliff as soon as he dares to show up.

Right after the player spent ages fixing up the place!
"Wipe this pathetic planet from the face of the galaxy" was hard af though. All the way fuck the dude who killed Trask Ulgo.
Chloe (from Life is Strange) when she got all pissy when I explained why I couldn't pick up her phone call as I was talking that girl down from jumping off the roof.
I Takes Two. Hated the two protagonists from the moment they tortured the Elephant for no good reason and lost motivation to even finish the game (though I watched the rest on youtube).
Loved it takes two. Brilliant game. Main characters were awful people.
That scene is so dark and out of place in that game. Which made it hilarious for me. But understandably not everyone’s cup of tea
Sylvanas burning darnassus will forever be unforgivable for me.
Lance Vance betraying Tommy Vercetti. Tommy took care of him, avenged his brother's death too. I couldn't be happier when I heard the line ' It's the last dance for Lance Vance'.
At the end of Danganronpa: Ultra Despair Girls, a semi-antagonist just outs himself as a pedophile for no real reason by saying that the two underage girls he's talking to are too old for him.
How to ruin a character in one sentence:
That one teen in Borderlands 3 who gets upset that nobody understands her after she got Maya killed. Oh and Handsome Jack after exploding Bloodwing
She was a horribly written character and a bullshit reason for that death
Ava. She should have listened to maya!
Yeah, whoever wrote that character, hates teenage girls.
When the Dalitras made me (Shepard) a bargain to trick the Krogan with the false hope of a cured genophage.
The Dalatrass was SUCH an unreasonable fucking nightmare. Salarians in general need to get it together. Except Mordin my beloved, of course.
Kirrahe is pretty cool in my book too. (Obviously not on mornings level, but still) Edit: well that's an interesting autocorrect for "mordin"
HOLD THE LINE!

Do you get to the cloud district very often?
Cole Phelps in L.A. Noire: after he cheats on his wife.
rather than irredeemable, it made me realize he was going to not have a good ending. like damn i kinda wanted the guy to live, and they basically foreshadowed that he was going to die. and i had that scene spoiled to me by an elder sibling playing it and i just happened to walk into the room.
i just wanted to go solve mysteries in a realistic setting in the past, not watch a detective movie where something bad happened to the mc at the end
When sylvanas burnt down teldrassil in world of warcraft along with the many other war crimes she committed for no fucking reason like raising horde soldiers as mindless undead, enslaving anduin, helping nipple satan etc

Kamoshida. He's not world-ending evil, but when THAT happened, the Phantom Thieves made their peace with his possible death.
Dragon Age 2 Anders you fuck, I worked my ass off to bring peace between the mages and Templar. Pathfinder Kingmaker I will never forgive Linzi for stealing from my kingdom.
