Do you play "Good' or "Evil" when given the choice?

[DarkHuntress]

My characters are always evil whenever I get the chance to determine their fate.

What fun is in playing the good guy? I have to do that in real life.

 

[MisterShine]

Good.

I'm pretty much incapable of playing a bad guy unless I am forced to do it.

The worst I can really get is being a total dick to people who ask for it/deserve it. Like force persuading the gangsters to jump into a thousand-foot deep pit in Kotor 2. That tickles me every time.

 

[Layz92]

I nearly always play good. In an extremely chaotic, collateral damagy way.

 

[darkkan2125]

i always hate it that there no righteous evil or corrupted good paths

 

[zombiejoe]

Good is my path

 

[robb4rock6]

i will destroy you (and the world)

 

[Lidrial]

I usually end up as evil but for individual parts of games I'll often switch. For example in Fable I play an evil character but I never help the bully at the start.

 

[NeutralDrow]

Good is always my first choice.

How often in my real life do I get to be the hero?

 

[Estocavio]

Im a good guy... I just have my own ideas of who deserves my wrath... Like the hotdog vendors in GTA IV... Theyre poisoning us all!

 

[MASTACHIEFPWN]

Good... My real life morality controls me.

 

[DeadlyYellow]

I'd say good, unless the writing is so terrible and mechanics so swayed that my natural play style ends me up evil.

Here's looking at you Bethesda.

 

[Marter]

Almost always good, because that's what I'd choose in real life. ^_^

 

[squid5580]

There is so many factors. Which way will be more beneficial to me. Which way will be funnier. Do I like they guy I am about to decide the fate of or not.

 

[Betancore]

I used to choose the options I'd choose in real life, and I ended up with a really mixed morality meter. So just to be convenient, I now choose to play 'evil.' Just because.

I always play evil my first time through a game (and the majority of subsequent playthroughs). Often it has the greater rewards; like in Fable (before the Lost Chapters changed it) you only got the Sword of Aeons if you were evil and that was by far the most powerful thing in the game.

Also in real life it is not possible to be a complete douche, murder anyone that you feel like and then blow up the planet that all those murdered people used to live on. You can do a good deed for someone anyday and you will (almost) never go to jail for it.

The only times I play as the good guy first is in games where it's just not worth it to be the bad guy. In Fallout 3 you miss out on a bunch of quests and people won't trade with you if you're a dick. In Bioshock (and 2) you get more ADAM in the long run as well as several extra tonics if you save the Little Sisters.

 

[Anezay]

It depends on how good the story is. I tried to play Mass Effect 2 renegade, but I couldn't stand to be mean to some of the characters because I am such an extreme wuss, and why would you say that to Legion, you monster?

 

[xNaturalMystic]

I make decisions on what i would do in real life, then i would think what is the funniest thing that can happen here and pick evil, hoping it will happen.

 

[Jebusetti]

Good usually, although I definitely enjoy earning evil "points" when someone really deserves it. There are more than enough opportunities to regain your good karma after you hogtie that hooker that tried to steal your horse and leave her on the train tracks...

 

[Extra-Ordinary]

My characters are always evil whenever I get the chance to determine their fate.

What fun is in playing the good guy? I have to do that in real life.

Amen. Although I usually go good on my second play through.

 

[Tenkage]

Good First, then 2nd play, I'm as Yahtzee put it, The Ponciest Ponce to ever Ponce a Ponce Shop
