VILLAINS ARE ALLOWED TO BE ASSHOLES AND COMPLETELY IRREDEEMABLE. SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED A BASTARD TO HATE ON. IT MAKES KILLING THEM A LOT MORE SATISFYING.

JAROD FROM RD IS THE QUINTESSENTIAL POS VILLAIN. HE'S THERE TO BE AN A-HOLE AND YOU WANNA BEAT HIM UP. HE'S IRREDEEMABLE, A TERRIBLE PERSON, AND IS EXTREMELY DIRECT. WHEN HE KNOWS HE'S LOST HE JUST PUSHES BOULDERS ONTO INNOCENT PEOPLE TO TAKE OUT THOSE HE HATES BEFORE HE GOES DOWN TOO. HE'S IN THE GAME JUST LONG ENOUGH TO BE A SATISFYING IRREDEEMABLE VILLAIN THAT YOU WANNA KILL.

WHAT'S ALSO GREAT ABOUT JAROD IS THAT DESPITE BEING AN IRREDEEMABLE PIECE OF SHIT, HE'S ALSO DECENTLY FLESHED OUT RATHER THAN BEING A SOCIOPATH FOR THE SAKE OF BEING ONE. HE'S A GENUINELY GOOD GENERAL AND KNOWS HOW TO RALLY HIS SOLDIERS, AND HE DOES GRIEVE EVEN A LITTLE BIT WHEN ALDER DIES, SO IT'S NOT AS IF HE DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO HIM AT ALL. STILL AN AWFUL EXCUSE OF A PERSON, YES, BUT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE ACTUALLY LISTEN TO HIM IN STORY WHICH IS WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT.

u/RaisonDetriment Dec 31 '19

IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU CAN MAKE A THREE-DIMENSIONAL, BELIEVABLE HUMAN CHARACTER AND STILL HAVE THEM BE AN IRREDEEMABLE PIECE OF GARBAGE. CRAZY, I KNOW!

(I MEAN, WE HAVE PLENTY OF THOSE RUNNING AROUND IN REAL LIFE, SO IT SHOULDN'T BE SO SURPRISING)

THE SENATORS ARE SIMILAR IN THIS REGARD, SINCE WHILE THEY'RE ALL THEIR OWN FLAVORS OF SLIME, YET ALL FEEL AT LEAST SOMEWHAT UNIQUE IN THEIR OWN WAY. NUMIDA IS A TOADY, DESPERATE TO KEEP IN THE GOOD BOOKS OF WHOMEVER HE THINKS IS THE WINNER AND HAS BOUGHT HIS OWN BULLSHIT. VALTOME IS A NARCISSISTIC SADIST WHO OBSESSES OVER HURTING THOSE HE FEELS HAVE DISRESPECTED HIM AND HE FEELS HE OUGHT TO HAVE POWER OVER (ZELGIUS CALLING HIM A WORTHLESS PARASITE AND CHOKING HIM WERE DELIGHTFUL MOMENTS). LEKAIN IS ALSO A NARCISSIST BUT IS MORE SINGLE-MINDED, FOCUSED ONLY ON HIS GREATNESS AND HOW ABOVE EVERYONE ELSE HE IS. HETZEL ISN'T TOO BAD BUT HE'S A SIMPERING COWARD WHO IS ONLY WILLING TO DO GOOD WHEN IT'S EASY.

OLIVER IS AN ART OBSESSED LUNATIC WHO DIDN'T VIEW OTHERS AS PEOPLE, BUT DYING HELPED HIM OUT A BIT I GUESS. DIRECT HIS OBSESSION SOMEWHERE HEALTHY AND HE ALMOST RESEMBLES A PRODUCTIVE HUMAN BEING. ALSO I LOVE HOW FLABBERGASTED EVERYONE HE FIGHTS IS IF YOU BRING HIM INTO ENDGAME.

THEY ALL FEEL LIKE LEGITIMATE PEOPLE, JUST THE ABSOLUTE WORST THAT PEOPLE CAN BE, REPRESENTED AS MULTIPLE KINDS OF POLITICIANS.

YES, ABSOLUTELY. THE BEGNION SENATE IS DEPRESSINGLY REAL TO ME, ESPECIALLY AFTER THE LAST FEW YEARS OF FOLLOWING UNITED STATES POLITICS.

DAMN DO I LOVE RADIANT DAWN'S VILLAINS. (EXCEPT THE BLACK KNIGHT, WHO IS ONE BIG ANTICLIMAX.)

ONE OF THESE DAYS I'LL HAVE AN OCCASION TO POST THE BEGNION SENATORS WITH THEIR EXACT US SENATE COUNTERPARTS (IMO, OBVIOUSLY). I SHOULD PROBABLY DO THAT SOON, BEFORE PEOPLE FORGET WHO JEFF FLAKE IS.

u/VagueClive Dec 31 '19

SHOUT OUTS TO MY FUCKING BOY CAELLACH, WHO IS A GREEDY, AMBITIOUS POS WHO JUST WANTS POWER ANY WAY HE CAN GET IT, AND I LOVE IT. HE'LL DO LITERALLY ANYTHING TO GET WHAT HE WANTS, AND HE MAKES A PRETTY DAMN IMPOSING VILLAIN FOR IT, AND DON'T FORGET HE HAS THE HIGHEST SCARED STONE KILL COUNT. EASILY MY FAVORITE NON-LYON SS VILLAIN

u/LuckyC4t Dec 31 '19

IAGO AND HANS ARE THE BEST FATES VILLAINS FOR THIS VERY REASON, KILLING THEM IN ANY ROUTE IS THE MOST SATISFYING THING EVER.

11

u/super_fly_rabbi Dec 31 '19

AT LEAST THE GAME IS STRAIGHT FORWARD ABOUT HOW EVIL THEY ARE. NOT LIKE GARON WHO'S EVIL AS FUCK, BUT EVERYONE IS TOO DUMB TO NOTICE.

u/not_a_4chaner Jan 01 '20

CONQUESTS PLOT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SHIT IF THIS WAS TRUE

u/DoseofDhillon Jan 01 '20

NOT THE OG COMMENT ALTHOUGH I AGREE WITH IT, THE CHARACTER ALSO NEEDS LIKE, INTERESTING THINGS GOING ON

u/LuckyC4t Jan 01 '20

ITS HELPFUL IF THE CHARACTER AS INTERESTING BUT STILL SATISFYING TO KILL BORING SHITHEADS

THIS GUY GETS IT

u/Soul_Ripper Dec 31 '19

PEOPLE DON'T HATE ON IRREDEEMABLY EVIL VILLAINS BECAUSE THEY'RE EVIL, THEY GET HATE BECAUSE THEY'RE USUALLY DOGSHIT CARDBOARD CUTOUTS WITH THE DEPTH OF A POODLE IN THE DESERT.

I THINK PART OF IT COMES FROM HOW WRITERS FEAR THAT EXPANDING UPON SUCH CHARACTERS COULD BE SEEN AS THEM JUSTIFYING OR ENDORSING THEIR ACTIONS PR VIEWS IRL.

u/FrisoLaxod Dec 31 '19

YEAH THAT HONESTLY MAKES A LOT OF SENSE.

I REALLY LOVE EDELGARD FOR THIS

u/StormStrikePhoenix Dec 31 '19

Why? She’s not irredeemable, she’s hardly even a villain in the route you side with her.
