Poll: Morality Games

[Biosophilogical]

Ok, I know that there have been threads asking what morality you play as your first time. What I want to know is how you play in relation to your actual self. For example, in real life are you a do-gooder who plays as an aspiring satan, or are you an cold, heartless individual who enjoys being emotionally open and loving on your first playthrough of a morality based game.

EDIT: Just to further the question, do you, when choosing your morality, go against your real world nature or with it. I think it will just be interesting to see how most people behave in relation to choosing their morality.

Youre poll kinda of sucks

Im always good, i dont see the point in being overtly bad. I just play the game as i go along and it always seems to be the good way.

I accidently hit enter without finishing it

You are missing options relating to neutrality. I am always good on my first go, I always feel weird doing anything bad even if it is virtual.

Thanks i'll add the neutral options now.

I like playing the bad buy, but in morality games they make the dialogue options ridiculous.

Good: It's okay, I know it was an accident and you didn't mean to shoot me. I will be fine. Here's some money, stranger.

Evil: Fuck off.

How Evil Should Be: Listen, fuckstick. In about three seconds I'm going to shoot your dog and rape your mother. Nothing you say or do is going to stop me, so you might as well hand me all of your cash and fall on knife. Also, you smell.

Besides, since when was being rude to people considered "evil"? Lawful Good does not mean Lawful Nice.

i change depending on the game, sometimes i go evil when im trying to be good, aka fable 2 dammit

Always the good guy first. It's usuallly how the story fits.

It's funny how people tend to think "good" is the default.. but usually a sequel proves them right.

 

[Biosophilogical]

I tend to go with my nature, I am a nice guy overall (a couple evils but nothing major) and enjoy helping the less-fortunate (e.g. healing pedestrians in Infamous) and i also think looking awesome is.... AWESOME!!! and most evil playthroughs end up with your main character looking like he got on the wrong side of a tatooist, a really bad tatooist (or really good depending how you look at it)

I try to remain neutral in real life, and I often do so in games.

But most games with morality choices I play more than once anyways, so I end up having played a characters on all parts of the moral spectrum.

 

[Zombie_Fish]

At the start I remain neutral, and from there decide whether to be good or evil.

 

[ae86gamer]

I always play good. No matter what game, I'm always the good guy, and I'm somewhat the same in real life.

 

[Soxafloppin]

I play as the villian first, then the hero

So the hero gets the last laugh,

im Wierd.

 

[Beowolf99]

I'm a good guy, and first time thru I play as neutral.

 

[RazielDethAngel]

I am evil based on how the evil side always gets the most damaging attacks whilst good gets bloody healing.(Looking at you KotOR)

"It's good to be bad, but it's better to be EVIL!"


..Anyway, I usually ends up playing as the "good guy" when I go through games with morality choices, dunno why,, but I usually think that those ways tend to give more "over time" benefits.
With games with two distinct choice roads I usually end up playing evil on the other run through, just to experience everything.

Also, I LOVE games like Overlord, Evil genius, and Dungeon Keeper where they take the evil aspect so much out of propotion and fill the game up with delightful cliches. These kind of games are usually the most fun, seeing as they are really based on humour.
