I'm yet to play through the storyline of Fallout 3 without unintentionally killing Bittercup. Now, for the majority of the human race, this would be reason for celebration, however, she just so happens to be one of my favorite NPCs. Don't ask, I just kind of like how she's completely and irrefutably insane. Either way, this last time, she died through....some series of events that may or may not have involved several bloodthirsty Super Mutants, and was promptly bludgeoned over the head until dead. Now, I was sort of looking around for her, and then stumbled across her corpse. I was crouching, and when I went to loot her corpse...well...I accidentally hit "devour". Now, Pappy witnessed this horrifying string of events, and I was promptly run out of Big Town...I hate it there...

Well, that would have to be on subsequently play throughs of games like KOTOR. For some reason, after I play some of them through as a "good" character, if I go back and try to play them as an "evil" one, something in the back of my head tells me that I'm doing it wrong. Kotor, Mass Effect, NWN2... if I try to play any of them as a jerk now, I feel guilty.
This.

Well, in Fallout 3, i can go on a killing rampage, without any guilt. Probably cause of the silly combat. However, i can't say anything mean to people without feeling horrible. Have I got my priorities wrong?
Yes, it's the same for me. I can murder basically anyone I come across in most games without a hint of remorse, but at the same time I feel really guilty for just saying nasty things to people, especially in Mass Effect. I found it really difficult to choose most of the renegade options in that, and ended up finishing my first playthrough with an almost maxed paragon meter.
Same here. I know its irrational, but deep down I just dont want to hurt anybody's feelings, lol. I've played through Mass Effect always as a Paragon each time I start a new Character. I think on my next playthrough I'll take the Renegade path just to see how far I can get.

One guy up there mentioned getting into the mindset of the character, so maybe that'll help.

I have the exact same issue. I've gone on several genocidal sprees in both Oblivion and Fallout, but for some reason whenever dialog pops up I can never bring myself to say the mean or negative response.
So in other words, "Be polite, be efficient, have a plan to kill everyone you meet."

As for me, I'm incapable of doing anything evil in a game, to be honest. That said, some things made me feel horribly guilty in a few games. Planescape: Torment in particular did so every half an hour or so. One evil, evil game, I tell you.

mass effect one and two i found the hardest choices ever.

me1 wrex and planet where you could find a cure for his race, and have to talk him down because you want to blow the place up, me2 you find a almost cure, and i kept it, meanwhile i have talking the doctor down about their choices to use it in the first place, but in the back of my mind i keep thinking well what would you have done in the same situation? yea there are cool cats like wrex and the shaman guy and a few others you meet, but if they were breeding out of control do i really think and feel that as a race they have come far enough along to help cure them and not reek havoc on the galaxy as their numbers grew exponentially?

grunt does not help the case, his childlike excitement at discovering the thrill of killing people, and picturing slaughtering other races with wild glee, just reinforces how dangerous his race can be be. i mean i like grunt but having to scold him every other conversation for his bloodlust and wanton urge for destruction, is very disturbing.

i love the krogans as a people, wrex was my all out favorite character in me1 and was so happy to see him in 2, but will i ever tell him i have a possible cure? dunno it is a frustratingly hard moral dilemma period. if i would trust any krogan with a cure it would be wrex however.

the geth in me2 during the legion quest, i was just hoping for one of my party to give me a hand lol, i found that an impossibly heavy decision to make also. i certainly had to think long and hard about the pros and cons on that choice. The choice to reset a whole mess of geth and hope they choose a non violent or even a cooperative existence, or the choice to blow them all and help tali's people a great deal, negate the chance that they make the same choices that lead them to follow the collectors in the first place. i mean i am big on free will and choice, and if there was not so much at stake i probably would have reset them period and hoped for the best. but with tali's people, with the collectors, with the fact that even when they had free choice they chose to attack their creators and help out the collectors. i could not do anything but choose to exterminate them.
