Poll: how do you act in rpg's?

[Jezzascmezza]

I'm pretty much always a goody goody.
Why?
It usually gets me more achievements.

 

[Evilsanta]

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.

Damn it ninja'd on the first page...

Well this...I just can't seem to act or do anything evil. I will always help out anyone or give almost all my gold to the poor...

 

[LtWiesel]

first playthrough: neutral, killing everyone who is annoying but more or less helping
the good guys.

second run: Death and decay all over the fuckin place!

 

[Jandau]

I'm usually the paragon of virtue and altruism, offering my aid for no pay whatsoever, protecting the innocent and the needy. I'll go to the ends of the earth just to deliver someone's dry cleaning. And do you know why? The XP. All the lovely XP. Because even the most pointless fetch quest will give me some of those sweet sweet points!

I'm a kleptomaniac who'll steal everything and anything that isn't nailed down as long as it doesn't have any long-tern negative effect on me. I'll rob children, the poor, the sick, the needy and the helpless, just as long as that doesn't get me into trouble (it usually doesn't).

I'll exterminate any life form that isn't classified as friendly by the game, just to get even more XP and loot. I'll stop my hunt for the Great Evil Black Dragon to murded a badger in the forest, just on the off chance that one of his body parts might be worth a few copper. Also, that 1 XP that I get for killing him might just be that one point that I need to level up...

My RPG characters tend to be walking contradictions...

I usually just play the way I would react to situations, but the rpgs I have played with these moral choices are usually so ridicuously black and white (nurse the kitten back to health or DESTROY EVERYTHING) That I always end up being the stereotypical supergood guy, apart from robbing people, I rob everything. It just happens.

 

[Tadaka]

It's really based on my mood. I bounce between being a boy scout in plate mail and a brain-jacking brigand.

This describes me to a T

Usually start out trying to be the nice guy but it always ends up being more fun being the bad guy. Probably because I would never act that way in real life, and what better way to role play?

 

[Always_Remain]

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

But what if I play six different characters for each Origins story and one of them just so happens to be a Human Noble warrior? Probably means I need to get out of the house more huh . . .

OT: I usually make multiple characters who all are different shades of good and evil but I usually play as a "Divine Warrior" first.

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

I always do a play through where I am basically the closest thing a human can be to say someone like Jesus and then one where I am the closest thing to something like Satan and then one where I am somewhere in there in the middle.

 

[w-Jinksy]

i am usually a good guy but prone to bouts of kleptomania in certain games.

sure i'll never use those 30 health potions because i have this sword that stops scarring but hey their mine.

yes i stole heavy armour as a mage because it all must belong to me, others are not worthy to own these possessions, and if kill you your things automatically belong to me, so cut out the middle man because i can kill you and will if denied your things, which rightfully belong to me because i can murder you.

i am only slightly insane.

just slightly.

 

[sageoftruth]

Usually I start off playing nice. Once I beat the game, I play again and try to be the opposite. If the immersion is good enough, I usually have trouble being the bad guy.
