generic knight with evil eyes

Dark Knight aesthetics are used plenty. WoW's "death knight" is ugly as sin, as are most things from the warcraft universe that were not directly copy pasted from another setting.

Also most RPGs put you on the good path, and if its not good its " not good, but not evil"
A death knight can work when the entire game is made around it (Darksiders?) etc

It's gonna fall flat in any other game that's got class selection because unless you make a flipside of the game where you're actually evil...

Fate has a pretty good one.

Darksiders has no Death Knight.
Though I like Death for different reasons.

They're usually reserved for bad guys. WoW had been around for so long that the story could have a "le dead guys fractioned and are now playable" without actually changing the game's core personality.

>Sith
>Hell knight
>Blackguard/fallen paladin
Evil spellblade is not a rare archetype, stop shill posting classic wrath blizz

Knight is overused, no matter which kind.

Opinion:

I want to have sex with a female death knight.
