NWN has antipaladin I think. You can also play Hellknight in that new pathfinder game I've been hearing so much about.

I think Overlord is an ARPG focused on being just that. It might just silly but KoTOR would fit nicely if you're playing as a Sith. Not only do you are technically a knight you also get special powers which get stronger based on how evil you are.

What's an antipaladin?
A paladin for an evil or dark God. You might say "well isn't that just a warlock" but the kind of contract made and the magic system used is different. And a warlock doesn't necessarily need to make a pact with an evil God, they're just kind of known for doing so (even D&D has some non-evil patrons now.)

Tales of Maj'Eyal has a few classes that should fit the dark knight or anti-paladin theme. However, it is a roguelike at its core so don't expect a complex storyline or well-written characters.

A paladin for an evil or dark God.

That would be still a paladin, just because you disagree with his beliefs doesn't mean he's not standing up for them
Well, I've never heard "antipaladin" before. I just assumed they meant "blackguard" or "dark paladin." I don't think an "antipaladin" is actually a think, much less a distinct entity from a "blackguard."

Antipaladins go all the way back to the 1980s and a bunch of pen and paper RPG systems had them.

Then I stand corrected. What is an antipaladin?

It's a paladin for evil gods. In D&D terms they are a chaotic evil champion. In AD&D people had them have opposite powers so detect good instead of detect evil. Harming hands instead of lay on hands.

Well... Then that's just a blackguard or a dark paladin... So that's what I said originally..... :retarded:

You specifically said antipaladin as well. Blackguards and dark paladins came after the antipaladin. Zoomers think they know everyting.... :lol:
