Asshole Victim: Difference between revisions

** And then the initiation ritual has you kill a barbarian with a hidden [[Blood Knight]] streak, a feisty and crass woman who has murdered people with her foul words and temper and a [[Complete Monster]] Khajit (Thief, murderer and rapist) who expects this to be his death. {{spoiler|With a broader definition of "asshole", you can also [[Take a Third Option|kill the Dark Brotherhood assassin who brought you there]].}}

** Nearly all of the people the Thieves Guild sends you after are this. Examples including an oppressive, penny pinching beekeeper, a slave driving meadery owner, an Argonian con artist, and {{spoiler|the man who betrayed and murdered the original guildmaster}}. Though in the case of the Con Artist, he just agrees to work with Guild and becomes a fence for you.

* ''[[Strange Journey]]'' gives us [[Evil Counterpart|Jack's Squad]]. [[Alliteration|Absurdly amoral assholes]] who happily jump into [[Mad Scientist]] [[Complete Monster]] territory, Jack's Squad is used to deconstruct the idea of [[Brainwashing for the Greater Good]]. Even as [[Holier Than Thou]] zombies, they're ''still'' idiot jerks.

* The comment under [[Tabletop Games]] for "dungeons" applies to numerous video games as well. For example, in [[The Elder Scrolls]] series, if you see a small cavern complex, you can rest assured that at least nine times in ten it will be full of Necromancers of Conjurers or the undead or other perfectly acceptable targets you may ruthlessly cut down without a single ding to the [[Karma Meter]]. You can then with no guilt grab everything in the place and haul it back to the nearest marketplace. The remaining one time in ten you will speak with the inhabitants. Half the time, you will put them all to the sword because someone told you to, then take their stuff and sell it.
