Evil Is Easy	comment	Evil is a vile temptress. She's cool. She's rich. She's powerful. She makes you feel good. She is everything you want, if not everything you need. And the most tempting aspect of evil? She's easy. You see, Good makes you work for her. You want her blessing, you have to take the difficult path. You have to talk to the villagers and understand their complaints instead of intimidating them into submission or just blowing them up and taking what you want. You have to work through problems. And human problems, well, they tend to be complicated. And as Good is fond of reminding you, the pursuit of her is a never-ending quest. She is like the horizon: no matter how tenaciously you pursue Good, you're never quite going to reach her. Evil, on the other hand, offers you her fruits with seductive ease. One squeeze of the trigger, one slash of the sword, one cutting remark, and you've won her approval. Evil presents the hero with an easy, obstacle-free path to riches and rewards. There's a reason Cutting the Knot is a thing, why the Con Man can trick his mark, even though what he offers is obviously Too Good to Be True, and why people still accept a devil's bargain. Expect Good to remind you how easy Evil is and reproach the hero for considering the simple path. Choosing such a path is why The Protagonist might become a Villain Protagonist instead of The Hero. The mentor will remind our hero that the easy path is not the right one. Sometimes the true cost of evil being easy is that it's overspecialised in destruction, meaning that a "weak" good power ends up more effective than a strong evil one. There's a second, game-specific aspect of this trope. A lot of games are fond of the Karma Meter. This allows the player to dictate the morality of the game. Unfortunately, the evil options tend to be quick, clean, easy. They don't require Level Grinding or other annoyances. The good options, on the other hand, require effort, puzzle-solving skills and other time-intensive activities. Compare Being Good Sucks, Diligent Hero, Slothful Villain, and Ambitious, but Lazy, the latter which often involves a character trying to get ahead in life via unscrupulous means. Compare/Contrast Being Evil Sucks.

Evil Is Easy / int_10d303a2	comment	In IV, siding with either Merkabah or Lucifer means they get to join you as a Guest-Star Party Member as you go after their rival. You will, however, have to fight a boss that's hard to fight for different reasons. Siding with the White means you don't have to face either of them, but instead Mercy Kill everyone. Apocalypse ups that ante by basically cutting the game short if you side with them.

Evil Is Easy / int_11fd6993	comment	inFAMOUS seems to invoke both parts of this trope. It's easy to sway the Karma meter to evil (melee attacking a civilian with low-ranked melee skill grants around 4 ticks of bad Karma as opposed to the 1 for healing a downed one) and Evil often Pays Better, as well. It also makes the game itself easier: Good is precision and non-lethality while Evil is destruction of whatever gets in the way of you and your enemy, it's easier to play through hard mode when you can spend less time aiming and more time shooting.

Unless you have a walkthrough, you've just missed the Good Ending of the first game. The first Disgaea game also offers a bizarre subversion, in the form of two special bonus endings that you can only get by killing large numbers of your allies, far more than you would ever be likely to kill by accident.

Evil Is Easy / int_2b70efd4	comment	Old World of Darkness as a whole seems to be quite the fan of this. Whether vampire, werewolf, mage, or other monster, the player characters are supposed to be regularly and reliably tempted with the easy but vile path. Vampire: The Dark Ages did this with Infernal disciplines. They made them incredibly easy to earn... it just cost a few more bits of your soul. Or whatever vampires had that didn't make them tools of the devil. Or more like tools of the devil than they already were. Or something. On the other hand, in Vampire: The Masquerade, Humanity is the easiest Path to follow. You see, just being evil turns you into an animalistic predator. Being evil and remaining sane requires you to study under an elder to adopt an alien mindset, and then you have to maintain your sanity by following precepts ranging from vile to just plain weird. Under some Storytellers, however, this can be played straight when you pick "The Path Of Whatever I Was Going To Do Anyway," most notoriously with the Path of Paradox. Werewolf: The Apocalypse in particular lacks the Harmony of Werewolf: The Forsaken, making it easy to build up useful Rage through needless violent acts. Wraith: The Oblivion has the titular characters wrestle with their Shadow, which pushes them towards serving Oblivion, and succumbing to its temptations too often and eroding the Karma Meter results in the character turning into a spectre. Spectres similarly deal with Psyches, and heeding the Psyche too much causes a spectre to become a normal wraith. The mechanics of a wraith falling into spectredom were vastly easier than the ones for a spectre to rise into becoming a wraith.

You can gain the ability either by making an extremely complicated potion using rare ingredients from a monster that only appears in extremely specific circumstances and hope you don't get killed in the process... or you can just grab a random person's soul and consume it for power. Most soul magic is like that, which is one of the reasons it's assumed evil by default.

Evil Is Easy / int_2ddf611	comment	In 2nd edition Dark Sun, defilers (wizards whose spells suck the life from the land) advance in level much faster than preservers (who limit how much energy they use) do. Defiling is so obviously bad news for everyone that if it didn't come with immediate and direct benefits, even the most selfish of wizards wouldn't do it. Dragon later gave rules for preservers casting defiling spells if they felt they had to (which would set them on the road to becoming a defiler), making it closer to the Morality Dial version.

Evil Is Easy / int_2f203125	comment	Many games in the Shin Megami Tensei franchise offer choices between siding with either the Law, Chaos, or Neutral factions represented by angels, demons, and humans respectively, with the former two being the "evil" choices from a certain perspective. By siding with either side, you have the option to skip certain bosses aligned with that side. As the player character is more often than not the only major contender the Neutral faction has to offer, siding with either Law or Chaos pretty much renders humanity a non-threat. In Nocturne, siding with Ahriman or Noah means you can skip over a Puzzle Boss and a Barrier Change Boss respectively. Siding with Ahriman also means having his strongest underling join you on the spot, with the only downside being the hurdles you'd need to jump and/or the Macca you'd need to shill to change his skills. In IV, siding with either Merkabah or Lucifer means they get to join you as a Guest-Star Party Member as you go after their rival. You will, however, have to fight a boss that's hard to fight for different reasons. Siding with the White means you don't have to face either of them, but instead Mercy Kill everyone. Apocalypse ups that ante by basically cutting the game short if you side with them. In Persona 5, Joker could run out the clock and miss his Targets' deadlines, thus cutting the game short, but expect to feel like a monster afterwards. Near the end, he's given a choice to either join the Final Boss as his top enforcer or stand against him as he's stood against the other bosses. Siding with him skips over not only the fight itself, but also the final stretch to get there. Royal brings up two similar choices for the Third Semester. The first time is to let a character be enthralled by the True Final Boss or rescue them, while the other involves allowing the boss to commence with their plan. Both halt the game in its tracks then and there if Joker accepts, but the latter is more lighthearted to a degree.

Evil Is Easy / int_30a5ebfd	comment	Naruto, We see two different people becoming the Juubi's Jinchuriki as part of the Moon's Eye Plan. One of them (Tobi/Obito Uchiha) harbored some doubts about the plan and briefly lost his sanity, having to fight hard to regain it, while the other (Madara Uchiha) was completely on board with the plan and easily succeeded without even a momentary inconvenience. Unfortunately for Madara, he's thus left unprepared when Black Zetsu backstabs him and thus provides the Juubi's true will with the opportunity to commit Grand Theft Me on Madara with no chance of fighting back. This was basically Sasuke's reason for his Faceâ€“Heel Turn: he felt that if he stayed in Konoha with his teammates he wouldn't get strong enough to defeat Itachi (adding to the fact that Naruto seemed to be catching up to him). However, in his defense, he was also recently rehospitalized by Itachi and his sanity has taken a sharp dive along with his confidence.

Evil Is Easy / int_346db4d5	comment	The Suffering games give you a handful of simple moral choices, usually by introducing NPCs who depend on you for their lives. If you want to be a murderous villain, all you have to do is blow them away as soon as they stop speaking. If you want the good guy points, you usually have to protect them as they stumble through the halls of a haunted prison. Fail to save them from the unholy abominations and you don't even get points for trying. However, most of your companions are decent fighters, even if they don't check their fire for you (particularly the dynamite guy), and neutral is an ending unto itself.

Evil Is Easy / int_41b0198a	comment	The Dresden Files has this as a key theme, with it being repeatedly noted that using magic to solve all your problems is tempting, and using dark magic is even more so - though Harry explicitly notes in the second book that he feels dark magic is ultimately less powerful than his own kind, while Bob the Skull later notes that creation magic is actually much harder (and takes much more power) than destructive magic (not that this makes it any less dangerous). It also steadily drives you insane, along with other prices, along with the other small point that if you take the quick and easy route to power, you're not going to understand it very well. And if you come up against someone who's at least a match for you, power-wise, with that understanding and skill, you're screwed - as is brutally demonstrated in Skin Game, when Dresden faces off against Hannah Ascher, a powerful Warlock - a dark Wizard - who'd previously fought and killed Wardens, Wizards in the Person of Mass Destruction weight-class who specifically hunted Warlocks, and was the host of Lasciel to boot; Lasciel being a Fallen Angel who'd previously spent a large amount of time in Harry's head some years ago and knew his previous strategies. She's a match for him for power, and probably his superior skillwise in fire magic (which, since Playing with Fire is his speciality, is no mean feat), but a lack of a rounded skill-set, an Attack! Attack! Attack! strategy, and a dialled up temper mean that Dresden defeats her relatively easily by ensuring that she's Hoist by Their Own Petard. As he bleakly states afterwards, having tried to talk her down, it wasn't a fight. It was murder.

While every problem has a paint-based "good" solution and a thinner-based "evil" solution, the paint solutions are almost always much, much more complicated, to the point where many players choose evil not out of preference but out of not having any idea or ability to figure out how to solve the problem the good way.

In Witches Abroad, Nanny Ogg, noting how young Lady Lilith looks, reflects that "The wages of sin are death, but so is the salary of virtue and at least the evil get to go home early on Fridays". In Lords and Ladies, Granny Weatherwax kind of admits but ultimately deconstructs the trope. She says she took the hard path, "and the hard path's pretty hard, but it's not as hard as the easy path." Parodied in The Discworld Companion, again discussing Lady Lilith's youthful appearance: "Moralists will say this is because sin is easier than virtue, but moralists always say this sort of thing and some sin is quite difficult and requires specialised equipment."

For example, one quest involves a possessed priest. The Good option requires finding the exorcist Gregor to exorcise the man, and Alcedor needs to fight and kill a werewolf boss to access Gregor's abode. The Evil option is to simply slay the possessed there and then.

An example would be on Manaan, where the prime moral choice comes down to pumping nerve toxin into the ocean (dark side) or overloading a Republic harvester (light side). The nerve toxin can be deployed by pressing a button, but can result in getting banned from the planet, making several sidequests unwinnable. Overloading the harvester requires the player solve an (admittedly easy) puzzle, and bears no negative consequences. It's inverted on Taris, where the dark side option only becomes available just before you are about to finish the light side path.

Near the end, he's given a choice to either join the Final Boss as his top enforcer or stand against him as he's stood against the other bosses. Siding with him skips over not only the fight itself, but also the final stretch to get there. Royal brings up two similar choices for the Third Semester. The first time is to let a character be enthralled by the True Final Boss or rescue them, while the other involves allowing the boss to commence with their plan. Both halt the game in its tracks then and there if Joker accepts, but the latter is more lighthearted to a degree.

Gaining the allegiance of a minor faction usually involves doing a lot of side quests for them, and going around a lot, which can take up to over 1 hour. If you choose the option to destroy them, you just have to take out your weapon and kill them, thus saving you a lot of time.

Evil Is Easy / int_5afbc0cb	comment	There are two ways to resolve battles in Undertale: killing your opponent or sparing them. Killing them is pretty quick and easy (just time your button presses for maximum damage) and is the only way to gain XP and level up and if you're going for the Genocide ending, your fights become exponentially easier to the point that entire bosses become pushovers. Sparing them, however, turns every boss fight and even many regular encounters into Puzzle Bosses, and making it a habit leaves you woefully underleveled and low on HP but is the only way to access the true ending of the game. The only thing that's harder about killing everything than sparing everything is you'll have to fight Sans in the Genocide route, and if you do, you're gonna have a bad time. Genocide is also more tedious. It's not enough to kill everything in your path. You have to fastidiously kill absolutely every monster in every zone. Have fun Level Grinding long past the point where it's even necessary.

Evil Is Easy / int_5e283a6d	comment	Inverted in the main quest of the first Fable game. Said main quest gives you good points fairly often, and evil points fairly rarely, so unless you go out of your way to slaughter civilians, you'll probably end up good. Played straight outside of the plot: things which give you good points when you kill them, like bandits and undead, are rather difficult to find in large groups and yield only 5 good points. Guards, though slightly harder to kill, spawn infinitely and yield 20 evil points. Also, you can get 600 evil points easy by divorcing your spouse. Fable is an inversion in that while evil acts are as simple as punching out a window, becoming evil is a full-time job as the default in the game is Good, and going evil mid-game requires multiple Moral Event Horizons in order to be recognized as evil. As an in-game inversion, the two temples require different types of sacrifice. Avo (good) requests money, Skorm (evil) requests humans. Since you can amass a fortune by repeatedly investing in real estate, it's trivial to amass more gold than you'll ever spend, whereas making human sacrifices involves repeated tedious Escort Missions to get them to the temple. In Fable 2, during the part of the story where you're a Spire guard, disobeying the evil commandant makes you lose experience, while taking the evil actions has no negative consequences except, if you don't want them, evil points. Fable 3's third act is designed around this, in concept at least. When you become King/Queen, you need to raise six million gold to defend Albion against the ultimate evil, and becoming an evil ruler is the easiest way to do that. All the good choices cost you money, meaning you'll have to work a lot harder (doing in game jobs and buying loads of property and shops, etc.) and wait a lot longer in real world time if you hope to have that much gold for the final act, and you can't jack up the prices too high on your property, because that's considered a corrupt act. Conversely, all the evil options are expedient and generate revenue, so much so that you could skimp plenty of extra gold out of the treasury and use it for yourself. You can also get specific in game rewards and bonuses specifically for doing things like murdering villagers, meaning you have to miss out on that more powerful weapon or achievement if you want to play a truly good character.

Gaining 100% Corruption, the Evil Path, requires you to go out of your way - sometimes, FAR out of your way - to do evil deeds. 0% Corruption, the Good Path, on the other hand... mostly just requires you to refrain from doing evil deeds when offered the opportunity. Also, to get 100% corruption, you have to kill a lot of people. Over 300 to be specific. Considering how many humans there are in the game, getting 100% corruption means that you are going to spend lot of time warping between levels to kill peasants.

Your ally Phineas will direct you to a black market trader who can sell you one for 10,000 bits. However, you also have the option to betray Phineas to the local representative of the Board, who only asks that you buy back his official Board seal from the trader for the lower price of 8,000 bits. With this done, you gain access to not only Monarch but Byzantium, an area that would have been closer to the end-game had you stuck with Phineas.

Evil Is Easy / int_68237790	comment	Pathfinder uses mostly the same spells and classes as Dungeons & Dragons and adds one notable example: two similar healing spells, celestial healing (good) and infernal healing (evil). Both heal a target over time, have the same casting time and similar material components, but celestial healing increases in duration with levels at a rate of 1 round/2 levels (typically capping at 10 at 20th level but can go higher if feats are involved), and infernal healing has a flat duration of 10 rounds but cannot heal damage from good-aligned sources and silver weapons. This makes celestial healing a weak spell at early levels but a strong one at later levels if the character goes for feats to improve their spellcasting, and infernal healing is incredibly strong at early levels but cannot be improved in any way and is easily countered by a clever choice of gear and spells in late stages of most campaigns.

On the other hand, you have the 10-level Blackguard, which gets evil-flavored versions of just about every paladin ability. By the numbers, the Paladin should be more powerful at the end of the day for anything that counts level into the numbers, but this is subverted when fallen Paladins get most of their powers back as Blackguards. You can blame mechanics for this; Paladins are Linear warriors so their increases per level don't matter much beyond a certain level (such as, say, 10th). Most spells of the "evil" subtype (mostly necromancy spells) have the particularity of being really strong whenever your spellcasting class allows you to use them with the drawback of not scaling at all with subsequent levels. In short, evil spells give a huge power spike early in the campaign at the cost of becoming lackluster later.

The exception is Firebending, which, though not evil in and of itself, is most easily used for destruction and is the specialty of the villains. With Firebending, it's relatively easy to learn how to create a mighty inferno powered by rage. What's harder to learn is putting the brakes on afterwards; When Aang first learns, he can create fire in an afternoon- but accidentally burns Katara, much to his horror. It's later revealed that this is a corrupted version of firebending; the real one is powered by joy and passion and functions more like the other disciplines.

You can increase either level at will, if you have the points to spend, and they also are increased by certain choices made during the course of the game. Quite often, the "evil" course of action is the better one to take — for example, you're going to have a better chance of getting the female character to like you if you lie and say that the gift you're giving her was your mother's, instead of telling her the truth about how you swiped it.

The Absolve option, on the other hand, forces you to play a quick-time minigame, resulting in an equal amount of Holy experience and a generous amount of soul economy, depending on how well you score in the minigame. Though collecting three Beatrice Stones lets you bypass the minigame altogether, it is almost never a good idea to do so, especially on your first playthrough, as you miss the soul payoff from playing the minigame. Subverted in the sense that the Cross (or more specifically Divine Armor) is a massive Game-Breaker, so any effort spent on buffing your Holy EXP is well worth any amount of tedium the minigames may cause.

Evil Is Easy / int_791fca44	comment	Subverted in BioShock. Throughout the game, when you encounter Little Sisters, you're given the option of "Rescuing" (curing them and turning them back into regular little girls) or "Harvesting" (murdering said little girl to gain access to the powerful material she was collecting). In theory, someone who picked Harvest was an utter bastard who'd kill children, but they got more power, whereas Rescuing altruistically made things harder for yourself by doing the right thing. In practice, if you consistently choose Rescue, a character will send you gifts out of gratitude, and these gifts include a chunk of ADAM to make up for how much was missed compared to Harvesting (but not quite reaching that point), as well as a few gene tonics and plasmids that can't be acquired otherwise. So now your choices are to be a good guy and have just as much of an easier time in the long run, or be a bad guy just to get a head start on ADAM scores early on. The sequel, Bioshock 2, is even more irrelevant in terms of the differences between Rescuing and Harvesting, as the new act, Gathering, simply requires the player to Hold the Line while a recruited Little Sister gathers ADAM from corpses, which can be utilized in either a Rescue or Harvest playthrough (and the ADAM yield per corpse can be increased through a gene tonic unlocked from a Rescue gift too), rendering the benefits of pure Harvesting even more redundant (and heartless, given that the player character is a Big Daddy who is supposed to support his Little Sister).

Evil Is Easy / int_79a57c7e	comment	Black & White is much, much easier to play as an evil god. Scaring people by throwing fireballs, rocks and summoning wolves rewards more belief than good miracles do, sacrificing provides an enormous mana boost compared to the worship of an average village, and evil miracles can be almost game-breakingly devastating (Increased Lightning, with good aim, depopulate an entire village in two shots). By comparison, good miracles are almost all close-range and reward pitiful belief unless you're fulfilling a need of some sort (wood, food), worshiping only becomes effective when you get dozens of people doing it (and this will take a while), and to get the kind of power an evil god will have you will have to build a village so large that it will be nigh impossible for your enemy to not be able to hit it. And of course there's the resources you will pour into making said village... evil rules this game. Downplayed in that evil is very wasteful. Lumber (needed for building everything) is slow to grow and there's often not much of it. Fireballing the enemy village may look cool and get a lot of short-term belief, but wastes resources that you could otherwise reinvest. Hugely averted in the sequel, however - rather than performing Miracles to impress villages you want to conquer, you have to build up your own city's "Impressiveness" by building structures and prospering to make them migrate to you. And unless you make a pointed, conscious effort to build as unattractively as possible, even building an Evil city up to sufficiently support warfare and a miserable, slave-like populace will attract 50-75% of the villages on the map to migrate. Sure, you can just kill them when they reach your borders, but there's Evil, and there's totally moronic. Even if you do avoid this problem, Good typically ends up with one massive, prosperous, efficient and productive metropolis that naturally grows until you attract the entire map, whilst Evil ends up with a population whom it's a full-time occupation to keep ALIVE, so many people in the armies that efficiency in other areas is less than nothing, and people spread uselessly and frustratingly over various pointlessly insignificant and underproductive villages on the map.

Significant malia use leaves wizards crazy, deformed, and eventually dead, but almost everyone cheats a little bit (killing shrubs and anthills isn't too soul-scarring), and dedicated maleficers can fuel outright horrors with mass Human Sacrifice before they burn out. Galadriel 'El' Higgins deals with an even more severe version personally. Most of the aforementioned blood sacrifices require thought and effort to arrange in order to draw out more energy than expended. Not only can El rip the life out of a resisting wizard with the same act of will most need to fry a roach, but unless she monitors her accessible mana reserves carefully she risks instinctively dropping those around her to make up the shortfall when she casts powerful spells... and she has a degree of trouble casting anything but powerful spells.

Deals with Demons and Fallen Angels fall squarely into this trope, whereas deals with, say, God fall right on the "Good is Hard" side.

Green Arrow, even after having his Equation-broadcasting helmet removed, struggles to resist obeying Darkseid's orders, given just how easy Anti-Life is compared to just being himself.

The first Soviet mission is unloseable, their tanks are more powerful, and their Tesla coils make their bases nearly invulnerable. The Allies, on the other hand, had much harder missions, separate base defenses for infantry and tanks (the Tesla coil would work fine on either), and small, cheap tanks that couldn't hold a candle to even the weakest basic Soviet tank. The arsenals between the two are reversed on the water, but naval-centric missions are few in each of the campaigns, and the Allies' most powerful unit, the Cruiser, isn't available until the last of these. Reversed in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, however, in that the two sides were rebalanced and made more even, the Allies gaining access to a number of Game-Breaker units, and the Soviet story mode ends up notably more difficult than the Allied story in both the main game and expansion pack. Sorta holds up in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, the Soviets are the easiest faction to use and the campaign is designed to be the easiest with no notable instances of That One Level throughout. Zig-zagged between the Allies and the Empire though, as the final Allied missions are very hard, while the difficulty in the Imperial campaign reaches the peak in the middle, then gets toned down by the end.

When there are two mutually-exclusive quests, or a quest that can be completed in one of two ways, the trickier completion -usually- leads to a better outcome for the characters involved... but not always. Sometimes, it's murky which one is better, or the two are equal in result. One notable one that could go either way, yet has a "tough" path, is Emmy Leater's request to give her either a sword or a shield. The shield is easy to find, the sword requires another small collection quest - yet the shield is possibly the "good" option, leading to a shorter final quest in the chain.

Evil Is Easy / int_93b9b77c	comment	Nexus Clash (and previously Nexus War) makes it much harder to stay good than to go evil as an intentional design decision. Demons can wander around murdering whoever they damn well please. Neutrals, goods, and evils are all fair game and all give experience. If you want to be an Angel however or even just a Good Transcendant you have to work considerably harder. While you aren't punished for attacking Demons and evil characters, so long as someone maintains a neutral alignment you are unable to attack them without the karma meter frowning upon you, even if they attack you first! This makes hunting difficult when a large portion of the neutral population counts as Stupid Neutral. To sort-of-compensate, good warriors can usually beat neutral or evil ones in a straight fight since they obtain an armor ability (which are massively powerful in this game, completely dwarfing any item-based armor) as soon as they reach level 10, while nobody else gets one until level 20. And it scales with level to remain the best for almost the entire game. They also get the most straight "all attacks do extra damage" skills. Plus demons can't be healed even if they had allies who wanted to (which most non-goods don't). Unfortunately for the angels the game is never ever about straight fights, and how quickly you gain experience is almost unrelated to how much of a beating you can take except at the highest levels. That said, the actual hardest morality to maintain is probably the Nexus Champion's True Neutral; morality shifts with every attack rather than every kill, so you can literally slip away from the center over the course of a single fight if you can't finish it fast enough.

When you proceed through the game, you can either opt to eliminate every enemy in your path or simply sneak by and/or incapacitate them. The former is much easier to do, especially since the majority of your weapons, tools, and powers make it easier (and more fun) to do so. However...leaving a trail of bodies increases your Chaos, which causes there to be more rats, Weepers, and increasingly paranoid guards in future missions. The last level in particular is significantly harder on a high-Chaos playthrough.

Killing your way past a quest will very rarely let you bypass a major dungeon outright; usually it'll just get you the clue that the quest-giver would have given you, and it often requires an extremely difficult combat. There is one huge exception, however: at T'sen Ang, you have the option to join with the Dark Elves. Doing so puts you directly through to someone who can explain most of the game's plot, skips roughly the final third of the main questline, and even lets you walk freely through the final dungeon and speak to Kerghan directly. If you've got a low Karma Meter and are willing to stain your hands, this is a far quicker road to victory than the standard questline. Likewise, killing Nasrudin (or K'an Hua, but the latter's not exactly an evil route) sends you directly to the Void, bypassing Vendigroth entirely.

Evil Is Easy / int_9ab32c13	comment	In Pony POV Series, This applies to Nightmarification vs Alicornification. Alicornification, done the correct way, takes the effort of obtaining a full and complete understanding of what you're going to become, which naturally requires a great deal of time and devotion. Nightmarification, however, only requires a bit of dark magic and allowing one part of you to consume the rest to the point of being all you are. However, Alicornification comes with enlightenment, while Nightmarification comes with insanity, and anyone who's become one and been purified generally has the opinion it's decidedly not worth the power. While a Nightmare purified with the Elements of Harmony becomes a mortal Alicorn, don't expect them to feel that was worth it either. Luna mentions this as the reason why Hydia and her family willingly worshiped Morning Star despite full well knowing what he was. Evil is the path of least resistance to get what you want because it let's you care only for yourself, while good requires effort to account for the needs and well beings of others. So evil is simpler and easier than good, but ultimately not stronger.

Evil Is Easy / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire discusses this trope at some length and using several characters within its Crapsack World. Being Good Sucks and is far from easy for those who try it, sure. And, a thirteen-year-old boy like Joffrey can manage to be The Caligula with relative ease; or, how the intellectually challenged, but physically strong like Gregor Clegane who can manage without much trouble; or, how about Little Walder? Lord Walder Frey started young, too. Or, how about Ramsey Bolton? But, the take-home message is actually "Stupid Evil Is Easy (and kills you just as easily), it's Pragmatic Evil you really need to work your socks off for if you want the big bucks (yet it can still kill you; it just takes the cheque longer to find you)". The wages of sin may be death in this series, but all men must die. The Evil just die more ironically after killing off some of the Good. It gets more complicated since Good is just as fraught with problems. As Tyrion loves to point out, certain types of Good manage to be "harder" without being "better" since they make you predictable, require that others conform to your moral standards and can, in the end, result in just as many innocent people dying. Especially since many "good" characters consider revenge (via combat and countrywide warfare) perfectly acceptable. There's no guaranteed success in Westeros, but exercising realistic judgment while keeping your actions in service to your goals avoids the most famous pitfalls.

In missions with a lot of yellow targets, you have to deliberately take time away from the actual mission to go destroy them if you want a level other than "Supreme Knight". In addition, spared targets seem to effect karma a lot more than destroyed targets. However, destroying yellow targets nets you quite a lot of extra money, such that if you're playing as a Mercenary (evil) character, you'll have an easier time buying new planes and weapons, as opposed to the Knight (good) character, who has to make each purchase count that much more.

You have to do this in a Crapsack World. It gets worse; since Chaos is far from the only threat, its servants can very often sway Imperials by using the promise of power (either psychic, mutation or possessed weapons) against the Tyranids / Orks / Dark Eldar/ Necrons/ Traitor Legions. The Imperium itself, meanwhile, is a corrupt, decaying fascist shell largely thanks to the inertia of its own colossal age and size - making life better for humanity would require superhuman effort, and even their own tailor-made superhumans are usually unwilling and/or unable to take up the task, not least because exploiting the wretched, unfair system for their own ends is so much easier and more fun. Ironically, the Emperor of Mankind himself is revealed to be very prone to this. In particular, much of the blame for the Horus Heresy can be attributed to his willingness to leave clearly dangerous or unstable individuals in power, like several of the Traitor Primarchs, creating the conditions that would lead to them being that way, and generally crushing anyone who did not immediately and totally capitulate to him, simply because it was the quickest option for getting results.

Evil Is Easy / int_c51b8d7a	comment	In Nocturne, siding with Ahriman or Noah means you can skip over a Puzzle Boss and a Barrier Change Boss respectively. Siding with Ahriman also means having his strongest underling join you on the spot, with the only downside being the hurdles you'd need to jump and/or the Macca you'd need to shill to change his skills.

Evil Is Easy / int_c62995ba	comment	In Child of the Storm, this theme is discussed, with Harry - particularly in the sequel - being faced with the canonical choice between 'what is right and what is easy'. In this case, 'easy' means tapping into his Superpowered Evil Side that could let him solve more or less all of his problems with a wave of his hand, at the low, low costs of possibly going insane and becoming an Apocalypse Maiden par excellence, while also unleashing an Eldritch Abomination that once ate a galaxy.

Zig-zagged between the Allies and the Empire though, as the final Allied missions are very hard, while the difficulty in the Imperial campaign reaches the peak in the middle, then gets toned down by the end.

Evil Is Easy / int_cd69fa57	comment	Inverted in the Darkover novel City of Sorcery, where a resident of the eponymous locale says that evil is harder than good, because evil involves going against nature. (When one of the protagonists deduces, accurately, that this means the woman's definition of good is being in accord with nature, the woman seems baffled by the comment.)

Evil Is Easy / int_ce1f7b52	comment	Borderline version in The Dresden Files RPG. Lawbreaker supernatural powers grant bonuses to the effectiveness of a given spell, if you're using it for the purposes of further breaking that law. For example, a character who's killed someone with magic once will get a +1 bonus to his spells if he's trying to kill someone with it afterward. Killing more increases the bonus. This is said, in the rulebook, to represent the seductive, corrupting nature of breaking the laws of magic. Similarly, Sponsored Magic comes with several bonuses that will both make your spells stronger, and let you cast them easier. The catch, of course, is the more you take advantage of the bonuses, the more in debt you become to the sponsor, and the more they can exert influence on you. Deals with Demons and Fallen Angels fall squarely into this trope, whereas deals with, say, God fall right on the "Good is Hard" side.

Evil Is Easy / int_dd07e332	comment	Peret em Heru: For the Prisoners: There are several situations in which you have to go out of your way to help another party member in peril, and it's much more simpler to leave them behind, which will result in them dying and getting removed from the party. This will come back to haunt you in the endgame, for one additional Post-Final Boss is added for every teammate you left to die. Soji Mizumi makes the game much easier by being perhaps the most powerful teammate you can optionally have on you, with high starting stats, two skills inflicting immensely helpful status effects, and a third capable of delivering a One-Hit Kill on enemies. Soji Mizumi is also an Immoral Journalist and Serial Rapist, and unlike all of the other teammates, is completely unapologetic about his vices.

For context, Jack Rakan said that if he choose light path of honest hard work then he might be on Fate's level in five to ten years. Magia Erebea could get him there in a month.

Having gotten nowhere training his ass off to surpass Goku, and viewing his newfound love for his family and the Earth as a weakness holding him back from doing so, he voluntarily sells his soul to Babidi, both to recapture the feeling of glee he felt when he was evil and to finally bridge the gap between them. Ultimately, however, the strong ties he formed on Earth prove to be stronger than any joy he felt being evil again, and he gives his life to stop Buu and make amends for all the evil he has done. Ultimately subverted, as by the end of the Buu Saga, he's embraced such virtues as love and friendship, and by doing so, he's gotten much closer to Goku's level.

Meanwhile, the sisters are limited to whatever magic the Powers That Be decide they're ready to use, cannot use magic for mortal problems (not that it stops them in later seasons) and cannot possess powers from demons, as the one time Phoebe tried that, she nearly turned evil. It is also stressed that while good witches have the possibility of turning evil, evil witches cannot become good.

However this was counterbalanced by black wizards having a lower level limit - eventually a white wizard would surpass his black counterpart. Red wizards (neutrals) fell between the two extremes advancing faster than white but slower than black and topping out lower than white but higher than black.
