10 Video Game Heroes Who Could Easily Be Villains

3) Commander Shepard

Shepard could fall into the same customizable category as the Dragonborn did earlier on in this list, but here, we’re looking at the stock Commander Shepard. You know, the one whose face is on the box.

Many may see Shepard as an intergalactic hero who saves countless lives from alien threats, and question how anyone could truly be considered more of a villain in the piece than EA were after they botched the ending of a truly great trilogy.

Shepard’s personality, however, is packed full of the type of narcissistic tendencies than many great villains carry. He’s selfish, manipulative to the point of dragging spellbound souls on suicide missions with him and he’s also a notorious Lothario. He happens upon heroism in the Mass Effect trilogy, but in another life he could just as easily have become a despised evil-doer.
