Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I never had the desire to play that kind of character until recently and my god does Bethesda fail horribly at allowing that kind of character... Even in Skyrim where there's guilds for theft and assassination, I never felt truly evil or bad, just kind of a jerk with the occasional dumb response.
The problem is that people don't treat you differently for being evil. Yeah, you might have hitsquads coming after you, maybe a companion or two won't follow you. But the same happens to good characters. There's absolutely no weight to your actions. You can literally slaughter half the wasteland in broad daylight and people will still talk to you as if you're just a typical person. I always end up having evil karma because I steal everything not nailed down and yet I'm still considered a hero by everybody. It's only gotten worse in games like Fallout 4.
With starfield it's kinda hilarious. I made it a point to just be a murder hobo (get a mod that alters bounties so there needs to be a living witness) and choose all the obviously bad choices and yet random UC security will have their preset wild lines where they say "I hear you've been cleaning up bad guys out there, well done have some money." Lol
...like no? I'm the danger! I'm the one who knocks!
