Anyone tried to roleplay a realistic monster?

That means, you can't be a vampire or werewolf. Also you can only be one of the human races, and don't even use magic (that includes shouts)

Then try to roleplay as a psychopathic/sociopathic person. No playing as a good or even a grey character. Play as a truly evil person. Kill people to just cause havoic or for fun....not just for money. But be smart about it....you don't have magical powers to help you....and you can't take many people by yourself....so use your intelligence, like in real life, is a killers best weapon.

Be sneaky.

If you help people in quests...don't do it out of the goodness of your heart....do it because you could get equipment or money...to help you buy better weapons or armor to kill more people. Perhaps even kill the person who gives you the reward.

And your killings won't just be directed towards good people...but evil ones as well. Just because your a monster...doesn't mean you have to work alongside evil.

If you want to know how evil you shoud be this is a good page to look at.

This would be a really hard role to play, not only because it would be hard to do in the game world...and still survive, but its also completly opposite of how we gamers act in real life. And i myself have always had an issue in doing evil in a video game....because its sort of against my character. But that doesn't mean others can't give it a try in a video game.

Quite hard to play such a role with something like 100+ unkillable NPCs in the world.

Just be choosy in who you kill. You have to leave someone alive in order to talk about your exploits

And be smart....like don't attack a guard...who is right next to a bunch of guards. In other words, someone playing a realistic monster would have to pick and choose their victims very carefully.

I tried playing some sort of serial killer in most games, but i either don't enjoy it or i get bored really fast.

In a game that ignores your exploits, even the main & most railroaded ones intended by the designers, there is no real fun in any of it.

Give me a game that rewards dynamic play and I'll do it.

Thing is, most NPC I'd just love to kill with such a character are actually unkillable. Delphine, the Legatus generals, the list can go on a while. One day I'd just decide to go postal and exterminate a whole town but the game itself would break my role pretty fast :shrug:
