RPGs where you can roleplay as serial killer

[Fargus]

I remember watching serial killer rogue-like video few years ago. Sadly it was a hoax. So any other games where you can roleplay a serial killer, carefully planning the next murder?

I know for sure Morrowind is one of those games. It has tons of npcs, with no other purpose in life than to wander around aimlessly or stand on the same spot all day and night. Even their greetings is like desperate scream for help. Whenever they say "wealth beyond measure" for 1000x time all i hear "please, kill me". You'd be doing them a favor by ending their meaningless existence. Not to mention that even essential npcs can be killed. You can just go to someone's house, paralize them and slowly murder them with your dagger. Slowly because your short blades skill is too low and you can't hit shit.

And there are mods that add black soul gems, you can imprison your victim forever in a soul gem. Or mod that adds different skulls and organs you can collect as a trophy.

M&M 6-8 allows you to go on a genocide; anyways I reported you to the authorities, just in case.

You can mindlessly genocide in pretty much any game. I'm talking about something up close and personal. When you can prepare your next murder, use spells to increase someones suffering, take trophies.

Mister Sandman runs in nuFallout maybe? Combine with Cannibal for even more edge.

Just look for games with NPC schedules and the ability to murder anyone and there you go.

asscreed?

There're some obscure, weird Japanese rape and murder simulators out there. Personally, I wouldn't recommend you playing them in your state, keh keh.

Seriously, though, there is only one game that comes to mind and it's 'an RPG' due to the grace of being an RPG Maker game only.

You've been warned.

Probably a section on this in the Oblivion roleplaying guide

Royal Sorcerer Navlaan (Dark Souls 2) recruits you to kill 4 friendly NPCs (talk to him while being hollow). yeah I know, 4 isn't that much. but there were real-life "serial killers" who murdered less people (Ed Gein comes to mind).

Poisoning people in Ultima VII is a great way to rob them blind. Then you drag their bloodied corpse to Lord British and have them revived like the virtuous Avatar that you are.

 

[Shackleton]

Let's face it, most RPG's have you playing a barely-controlled psychopath who murders pretty much everyone and everything who looks at them funny. Gotta get that XP, boyo!

Isn't that kinda pointless without some way to calculate how close authorities are of getting you according to the clues you leave behind (purposefully or not)?

It's not an rpg unless a drunken private investigator can identify me through an investigation of the Tarot card I left at the crime scene.

 

[PorkBarrellGuy]

Fuck, actually, how cool would that be? An RPG where you could be a serial killer with all the trappings. And then for an alternate game mode, you could play the investigator.

I kind of want to sit down with a piece of paper and brainstorm this into a solid concept now.

Sounds like how Disco Elysium is being described.

Make sure you include the option to be both.

carefully planning the next murder

Sounds like some faggy shit tbh. I much prefer to indiscriminately slaughter everything in my way, and everything on some detours too. Arcanum, ToEE, Fallout, Serpent in the Staglands, and to a certain degree, Planetscape: Tournaments and Underrail, allow you to kill pretty much every motherfucker.

It would make for a great 1v1 tabletop thing, if properly developed.

Everyone does it. In some games its almost impossible to go through town without starting a rampage.

One of my characters in Arcanum was a half-ogre tech. After the quest about half-ogre conspiracy i started to murder gnomes in Tarant one by one, using paralizator and strong poison. Usually at night, avoiding guard patrols and potential witnesses.

Deus Ex, you can also carry corpses where you want.
They used this trick to carry knocked people that would be killed by other guys just to frame poor JC!

 

[Abu Antar]

The first thing I do in any GTA is murder as many people as possible.

Arcanum! Funniest way is finding bear in forest, forced it to obedience with magic, lead it to some house, close all the doors and windows with another spell and let bear loose. Poor people don't stand a chance.

 

[Shadenuat]

Actually, RK47 did an absolutely wonderful lp of Arcanum where he did exactly that. with ton of great larping.
pictures probably don't work anymore tho.

 

[Strange Fellow]

And people say Arcanum sucks.
