Poll: What's your perferred alignment?

[Zack Alklazaris]

I always seem to come out "gray". I'll try and be good whenever possible, but if someone gets in my way too much I will do anything to remove the problem. After all usually in video games your trying to save the world or something similar. I'm not going to quit just because some jerkface wants 10,000 credits for something that i need to complete a mission.

 

[Siris]

Neutral Good

 

[winginson]

Err...in both forms of RPG I tend to go for a character that is generally good and won't kill for no reason, but will do an break the law or do an evil act if the benefit is right. I also don't forgive traitors and the like. So I guess I wobble between Chaotic Good/Neutral.

*EDIT*
Kinda like Shepard's choice at the end of ME1. Although you defeat Soveriegn if you save the council or if you don't, Shepard does not know this. Here you have an extragalactic menace which all of your ships may not stop. I find that choosing to sacfrice several ships to protect the council to be far to reckless even for a Paragon. I always let them die because it is the choice that means the best chance of stopping the entire galaxy being stripped of intelligent life.

 

[PotatoLord]

True neutral.

I have no strong feelings either way.

 

[Grottnikk]

I think chaotic or neutral evil is unpopular because:

a. Nobody can trust your sneaky arse, therefore it wouldn't be as fun to play WITH you.
b. Nobody likes a guy who thinks murder is fun, except other people who think murder is fun. In which case, refer to rule 'a' above

 

[Whispering Cynic]

Sometimes chaotic neutral, sometimes neutral evil. I can go either way, depends on the circumstances.

 

[shadowelancer]

Im true neutral i go both ways

 

[MightyRabbit]

Neutral Good. If I don't feel guilty about taking the evil choice, then the game hasn't done a good enough job of making me care about the moral choice system or the world and characters and I probably don't like the game enough to keep playing.

 

[dickywebster]

Well if fallout 3 is anything to go by, i get more evil the fewer people there are.
Or rather, the less witness to my murder/looting sprees there are.

 

[NeonOranges]

Chaotic Good! I'll save the world, sure, but that doesn't mean I can't have some fun along the way!

 

[Condor219]

Neutral Good, maybe even a bit Chaotic Good depending on the situation.

 

[A Raging Emo]

Chaotic Neutral I always was. I often play games how I would in real life (Like say, in GTA, i won't kill some random guy unless he tried to kill me first).

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Neutral since I will do whatever I want, and if I want someone's loot, I will take it.

 

[Firstmark_Bannor]

Chaotic neutral, because why not? I'm not evil, I might even help you if you make it worth my while and sometimes you just need to stab someone. Especially if they are being a ponce.

 

[StarsintheBlood]

Chaotic Neutral. No obligations, no risk of getting too wrapped up in your alignment that you become ignorant. As neutral, you get to survey all options equally and without bias so that you can best defend and inform yourself. Plus, if you play right, you can do your thing without being targeted by villains or heroes. Win-win, yo.

Although I do admit that a lot of noobs use this alignment as an excuse to troll or be general dumbasses, but I call them Stupid Neutrals who are trying to hard to be unpredictable. Pshaw, to them I say.

 

[SpaceBat]

I do whatever I think is the right choice at the moment, but I usually end up way more towards the Good alignment (75-80%).

 

[Viirin]

Chaotic Good.

If someone that deserves help needs help, I'll be there to help them. I don't even care what kind of help they need really. If it's illegal, do it anyway because self-sacrifice is the most noble thing you can do. If it's legal, then hey it makes it that much less inhibiting to help. Plus I have yet to meet a gov't that is worth more than the gum on the bottom of my shoe. I'll do what's needed regardless of the stupid law.

Then again, I also go Neutral Evil.

Constantly breaking random laws for no reason except boredom, but also allow people to come to a conclusion I want them to without saying it, so I get what I want. If it's legal, great, if not, I'm not the one that got caught breaking the law, just letting other people do so for my benefit without actually having asked.

Depends on if I'm in the 'help you' or 'help me' mode.

 

[Biodeamon]

I always do the right thing in video games.

However i will not hesitate to put a bullet in the brain of whoever who stands in my way, no matter how good they are or what the consqeunces are.

 

[Mafoobula]

I'm just a good-natured, soft-spoken guy, and I almost always go for the good side of the alignment table. Specifically, it's usually just chaotic/neutral good, depending on my charm/charisma levels. Lawful good is for pansies. Going to the evil side of the table implies some insanity, or at least some kind of unrelatable sociopathy.

And this goes back to the problem with good/evil morals in most games.
Being bad typically amounts to you being an angry jerk-ass for 90% of your waking hours. "There's too much salt in this soup. I hope the chef is prepared for the most amazing ass-whuppin' he's ever seen."
On the other hand, being good usually does NOT make you into a halo'd heaven-sent do-gooder (except in the first Fable, where absolute goodness gave you a literal goddam halo), but instead makes you a charming, likeable good guy who helps out and wins with words more often than a fist. "Now I know you want to fill me with so much lead you could sharpen my head and call me a pencil, but have you considered how much easier life would be for everyone if you didn't shoot me, and instead opened up an orphanage for children and puppies and kitties? Yeah, I knew you'd see it my way."

Ye gods, that was a bit of a tangent. Anyway, yeah, I'm the good guy in real life, so that's what I am in games, too. Shoot, I TRIED to play renegade Shepard in ME2, but it didn't feel right at all.

 

[manga-minx]

I like to be a good guy. Especially the first play through, most games treat you better when you play 'good', plus when I try to be evil I sometimes feel bad... although it's a game...
