Anyone have any advice on creating/playing a villain? I wanna play a villain, but it seems like you kinda need stuff (e.g. magic, minions, and a pipe organ) to play a good one.
I hate characters designed to be morally gray on purpose as a form of 'bad guy but not really'. If you go evil, go evil. Do bad shit. Be a bad person. Hide it when you need to but be objectively vile. Otherwise you're not a villain you're just any character on lotc.
