90% of the time I choose to be the good guy, however there have been times i've been evil such as Fallout 3 (And if thats any indication i can be evil when i wanna be, then BOY was i evil in that game).

Good guy, being evil is usually too much effort. Not to mention most games reward you for being good. I tried playing evil in ME2 for example...not so easy when you know your crew will end up hating you and die like flies because of it.

Chaotic-Neutral: I do whatever is of most benefit to me at the time, whether good or evil.

That being said I do usually end up more evil than good...

I like to try doing both, but I always play through as a good guy my first time because I found in most games that you can lose a lot of achievements by being a bad guy.

I played a good campaign as a kid when a friend and his father introduced me to D&D. His father DM'd and he wanted to use it for building morality and critical thinking. It took about three play sessions for my friends and I to start the chaotic evil group we played in through college. I've kinda played-out the evil genre for now and I'm sticking to good campaigns. As a consistent group gets harder to find in my area, I've found evil to be more about backstabbing than taking over the world.

Evil still sounds more exciting to me. I honestly prefer games that don't require strict adherence to an alignment. Smugglers and Bountyhunters in d6 Star Wars are my fav.

I usually end up playing more on the good side the first time I play a game, unless something happens that ticks me off. Then I just go straight up evil.

I usually play a game twice when it forces you to choose between good and evil. The first playthrough I play as a good guy, because I always take the first playthrough seriously. Second playthrough is devoted to dicking around, which tends to involve being evil.

I usually play good, except in the Overlord games because you know... what's the point. However I would play evil if the writers/devs could finally figure out that being evil doesn't necessarily mean you're the biggest cock. Being evil and being an a-hole aren't synonymous!

I usually play good, but I'd play evil if there were advantages to it. I just don't like to play chaotic evil. Killing women and children for the evulz never made sense to me. I'd rather start off as a mere, common soldier and talk and backstab my way to power. Like Delita Heiral [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Delita_Heiral]

It depends on the game. In Bioshock I killed the little sisters because I wanted the Adam. But I'm playing Fall-Out 3 at the moment and there I'm going nice-guy. Mainly evil though.

Good. No matter what I do I always play good. It makes me feel like too much of a jerk when I'm evil.

The one exception is sandbox games like inFamous, Red Dead Redemption, and Grand Theft Auto. Generally I'll always do my first playthrough as a good guy, (Though I believe it's impossible to do that in GTA...) and while I still feel like a jerk for it, I seem to be somewhat capable of playing the role of the bad guy in it.

Anything else... I just can't do it. No, I mean I can't. I tried to on Mass Effect. I made a character after I had done a couple of good ones, and I said that this character was going to be evil. Gave up before I even got to the Citadel because I couldn't do it.

Good or neutral. I am trying to play through Mass Effect 2 now as a renegade and it is quite difficult morally.
