Edit: holy shit I turn my head around for one second and I got 40 replies? THANK YOU ALL :D <3

I just rewatched Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy and following Bane's and Miranda's story made me realize that I'm a bit saturated in regards to playing as the hero, the protagonist, the "good guy" in PC games. While I love saving the world as much as the next person, I'd love to play as some perhaps self-righteous villain, or antagonist, or simply somebody portrayed in a way that's meant to make the player sympathize with questionable morality or, at the very least, be conflicted about why you suddenly find yourself rooting for them.

I'm mostly looking for story driven open world single player games, but any recommendations are welcome. :)

Factorio, you literally colonize alien species and pollute their worlds because you feel like it.

Satisfactory in the same regard as well. At first I felt bad about disrupting the natural landscape. But then I needed more power, and land for my factories. And then more land for more power for more factories on more land. It's a fun cycle.

It's like a different kind of bad guy... a real world kind of bad guy, really.

Ig mincecraft in the same vain, if you want to interact with mc villagers in any meaningful/efficient way.

To get cheap villager trades, you can traumabond them to you by repeatedly letting them get killed by zombies and then resurrecting them.

If you want your villagers so be safe, as well as have them all near eachother and sorted after traids, you build a "trading hall" where each villager is trapped in a one by on by two big area where they only have a workstation in front of them as well as a window for you to talk/trade with them. (They would probly die sooner or later if you let them run around the world freely, so building this is kinda a must if you spend a significant time getting the good villager traids, which you kinda have to do if you want good enchantments on your tools cuz all the other options to get them suck compared to villagers).

Villagers are also a good/the only way to automaticaly farm iron or crops, for crops you just trap them in a field and let them work for you. For iron you repeatedly scare them with zombies, so that an iron golem spawns, which you immediately kill in lava, so you can get the iron that it drops.

Well, maybe not just because you feel like it.
I think the premise is that you crashed on an alien planet and need to build a spaceship to return back home?

The fact that you are destroying the entire ecosystem of the planet to do so is just a slight inconvenience.

I think that's Factorio.

In Satisfactory you're a Pioneer sent exactly for the purpose of exploiting the planet.
