Poll: how do you act in rpg's?

[ctrl]

i was just wondering this after i finished oblivion and realized that i hadn't met a single npc i hadn't either killed or robbed. It is the same in every rpg i play. Mainly, does anyone ever play nice?

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

All I do is play nice. And mage or rogue, depending on mana regeneration rate.

I'm nice, but greedy. NO MONEY FOR THE POOR!

Also, I hate EVERYONE who played the uber-generic Human Noble Warrior in Dragon Age. Whether good or evil, you are Mr. Generic Pants.

 

[The Harkinator]

Play a good character but in said Oblivion I take the adoring fan to a remote place and make sure he never leaves. Annoying characters do that.

I also killed Jericho and Moriarty from Fallout 3 because Megaton was better off without them.

 

[Aggressor and Usurper]

I am always, inevitably, no matter how hard I try, am a paragon of...good...guy..ness.

Always. I just can't bring myself to go mental and kill and rob.

 

[KefkaCultist]

I'm usually a good person but I steal a lot (my characters are usually thievish so its kind of a given) and very rarely kill innocents so my vote is "i rob and kill occasionally"

 

[Buccura]

I consider myself to be somewhere between Neutral Good and Pure Neutral, to put in alignment terms.

 

[Souplex]

I act like me; kind, forgiving, compassionate, but if you fuck with my brain I'm going to tear yours out with my bare hands.

 

[walls of cetepedes]

I try to keep as many named NPCs alive as possible.
Doesn't mean I won't steal everything they own.

 

[Ultraman950]

I almost always play the good guy, but I'll try and play at least one playthrough as a bad guy.

 

[slightly evil]

Divine Warrior!
kinda...
in fallout my thinking was: this is my wasteland, and you're messing it up
but screw the little people, if there's a chance of getting a cool weapon (ultra smg, sorry sidney) or get all the perks of a quest line (i agreed to help, then butchered, the family), i'll go for it
also, i go on occasional killing sprees
yeah... i dont think the other divine warriors will welcome me.
LawfLul neutral is always called evil by 'goodies'
EDIT: in case i didn't sound enough like an anal, obsessive, sociopath. I found a morrally grey situation once and rather than deciding wich to do, i killed literally everybody. it's refreshing to be an absolute dick sometimes

 

[GamemasterAnthony]

Well, I suppose to use a Mass Effect comparison, I'm pretty much a Paragon. I'll probably find a way to get rid of the adoring fan in Oblivion like JaceValm did...but not in any way that kills the kid.

I'm like that in D&D and Maple Story as well. I try and help in any way possible to support my team.

 

[northeast rower]

I rob and kill only when it benefits me.

 

[Jedamethis]

Also, I hate EVERYONE who played the uber-generic Human Noble Warrior in Dragon Age.

D:
I only did it for the cunning bonus! Honest!

OT: I only kill people who are in my way. And then I nick everything of course.

 

[DustyDrB]

I'm a generally good guy. Though I'm not a slave to the morality system. I'll punch obnoxious reporters from time to time (though the paragon response in ME2 is just as satisfying), and will berate greedy people and assholes.

 

[DanielBrown]

Depends on the game. In Oblivion I usually kill the people that can be killed, but in conversation-driven RPGs like Mass Effect or Dragon Age I always try everything. I start out with making a full out nice guy, then my second character becomes the incarnation of evil. The third one is more neutral, but more nice than evil.

 

[Magnatek]

In games, I typically go with what I call the "scion of light". As in, almost all good, perhaps to a fault. However, that doesn't mean you are safe. In some games, if there's a clear-cut enemy, I tend to wipe them off the face of the world (or worlds, should more than one planet be involved). If you're a threat to the world, whatever weapons I have at the time soon become a threat to you.

SUUUUUURE. The totally massive +1 cunning that your warrior couldn't have more than made up for with the better warrior stat bonuses of a Dwarf.

 

[Exocet]

I do what I have to do and I generally avoid collateral damage,but yeah,if one or two POW have to die to save the world,I won't stop to think long.
I tend to think negatively about divine warriors(especially paladins) for their inability to make the tough choices.

However,sometimes,I enjoy making a separate save and just loot everything not bolted to the ground,kill anyone that looks at me funny and just go around punching people in the streets for the lulz.Very liberating.

 

[Jedoro]

I play how I'd live, especially in a more lawless setting. I'll fucking kill anyone I think the world's better without, but won't really steal anything.

It's not stealing if they're bad, and thus dead. Looting is fair game.

 

[FalseMemorySyndrome]

True Neutral almost everytime.

Only exception would be Mass Effect, where I'm pure paragon due to wanting to help out mah companions.
