    There are already some games like that.

    Some games like Eve or Factorio have backstories that make it clear the player sucks. Capsuleers are immortal but the rest of the crew isn’t. The Factorio engineer lands on a strange planet, pollutes the hell out of it and kills the natives.

    Then there are games like KOTOR or Pathfinder:ROTW where the evil path has you make some pretty fscked up dialog decisions.

        And the spidertron is really cute…
        But who’s ugly or cute on the inside? That’s what counts, right?

        Right?
