Geniune question, how do you make or write a villian / villian faction thats cool enough to be liked by players but not so cool that people begin to unironically wish to emulate their actions or beliefs despite how harmful or retardedly evil those beliefs are. This isnt just a Helldiver thing this applies to a lot of villians
>>719672561>an ancient evil awakens
>>719672561>villain's only motivation is to kill the heroThere you go.
>>719672561Make your protagonists likeable and not retarded in comparison to your villains so your reader/player aren't gonna side with them out of spite.
>>719672561Don't give them harmful or retardedly evil beliefs. Make them oppose the protagonist over a personal vendetta or a general desire to be strong or something
