Today I saw Playing a bad guy is hard, and I felt completely identified.

Whenever I try to do an evil playthrough I can't help to feel bad. For example, I feel bad when I have to kill Narfi, I feel bad when I have to break Bersi's urn or when I have to threaten Keerava. I don't even kill Nazeem.

What's wrong (right?) with me? What's your experience about this? Do you feel the same way about being evil in a game? And, since this is a modding community, do you have any mod recommendations?

Witcher 3 is my favorite game to be heroic in since the correct choice is often either not obvious or otherwise totally unpredictable. I got into character with Geralt's personality because even though I was trying to be a hero, the consequences of my decisions were often out of my control. As I got used to how things worked and was exposed to how terrible it was for most people, playing heroically became more rewarding.
