Evil. So damn evil. The only reason i blew up Megaton was because me and the follower from megaton(cant remember his name) killed literally everybody inside when I got bored and killed the shopkeeper who is ALWAYS happy. I swear I heard her giggling when i shot her twice in both feet with a sawed-off.
In every game with a good vs evil system or ranking I always play good or the equivalent for two reasons.
1. I cant be bad, there's no way I could actually blow up megaton, what would happen to poor billy creel and his adopted daughter?
2. Bonuses received are usually better.
But how about we have a game with moral choices with no ranking system (or at least one that the player can see and constantly refer to), like The Witcher.
You kill a man because he poses a threat to your family is that good or bad?
Life is all about the grey areas, video games should aspire to that too.

Very Evil.
What bugs me about Fallout 3 is there are bunch of choices that give you good karma even if you could very well have done it for selfish reasons, such as NOT destroying Megaton because you want a place to unload loot without having to go across the world before you discover other towns, or freeing a Red because the slavers want you to bring her in.

Neutral, even if this game makes it difficult to stay on that karma level. I'm only neutral because I do whatever benefits my character the most.
The whole karma system in Fallout 3 needs to be improved. I still don't understand why turning raiders into slaves gives me bad karma.

Even though I steal everyone I meet blind, I still end up with an incredibly high Karma level. Thats fine by me though, I like being nice.
I do multiple playthroughs, and in addition to playstyle (stealth, socialist, big guns expert, ect) I also select a given allignment. At first I normally do "me in the game". as was stated there are alot of grey choices, so I went screw it I'll play as me and if I deem stealing someones vodka as the greater good I will. Which got me to neutral allignment. I then found "impartial Mediator" perk so I then consiously went for neutral. Incidently thats harder then I thought, killing 4 people in megaton was enough to shift me from good to evil
