Self righteous player characters are getting worse, can games stop using them?

[Legend]

In many games they kinda work because the games give you a power fantasy with a flawed character. God of war for example has always presented Kratos as physically awesome yet problematic for everyone around him.

Meanwhile the really bad ones flip the traits around, making a physically week yet friend focused character. They present no negatives for self righteous behavior and try to give a weird moral power fantasy.


IDK. A few games I've played or watched recently have annoyed me with this. Tacoma, The Gunk, Horizon 2 slightly.
