My Fiance's main alt is a bad guy so I rolled his sister and plan on playing her as a villain. I've only played a villain once before (Generally I toe the line at Anti-hero) and I'm not sure how it will go. I find villains really, really hard to do correctly. You make them too subtle and they aren't really villains, make them to overt and you got a cartoon on your hands.
Also Villains aren't forever. You can just be a bad guy 3 years from now without some kind of consequence. Constantly getting away with stuff would just be... wrong and weird and, at the end of the day, boring. Killing them off when their villainy is at their worst seems like the proper thing to do, but that really only works in books when you have control of every character, not just the one. You don't want to kill off the one! So then what? Jail? Redemption?
I'm having a bit of an issue here, but I really like playing the villain. She was fun, but ultimately ended up dead and became a Death Knight.
