Why are skeletons always portrayed as evil in video games?

Why are skeletons always portrayed as evil in video games?

As long as Necromancy is portrayed as evil, Skeletons in general will be evil.

Not always

ressurecting the dead is an act of evil and skeletons are dead.

gee i dunno bill maybe because the undead aren't exactly normal things

Problem with necromancy more than half who practices that shit is always pants on retarded.

SKELETONS!?

Is it bad that I'm hoping for a remake in the near future?

>another remake

Comes with being brain-dead and/or blighted.

Yes. It'd be some grimdark, super serious Bamham knockoff.

I just want reasonable necromancer in videogames.

I can't think of a single decent game about necormancers.

>reasonable necromance

Necromance is never reasonable

Wasn't there a D&D game that had "a Necromancer with good intentions"

There is literally nothing wrong with being a necromancer.

post skeletons

I know what you mean user. Skeletons are peaceful creatures, and wouldn't hurt a fly. Video game devs are just bigoted and don't know a thing about skeletons, which has led to this negative portrayal that has persisted over the years.

Tales of Maj'Eyal is the only game that does a necromancer class right
Prove me wrong
Please prove me wrong. I want more games where I can play as a necromancer

To be a skeleton you must be dead, for a skeleton to be up and moving it is normally some sort of 'dark' magic or curse of some sort. If something is brought back to life in that manner it will most likely not be for the good side.
Its like asking why are zombies always evil, reanimated dead are never there to help out.

You unholy son of a bitch! The second you touch that shit i will kick your ass.

The dead deserve their peace, you have no right to take it away from them for your own greedy needs!

Spinal just wanted to chill.

Well "most likely" doesn't mean every fuckin time
Also being ressurect doesn't necessarly need dark magic, it could be divine magic that power up the dead

The only limit to any story his the imagination of his creator

It also lacks , the main antagonist from that 90's cartoon Skeleton Warriors and a Necron.
