I pretty much make choices based on how I'd react in the situation, so for the most part I play the benevolent attitude card. Although when it comes time to dish out justice I tend to reciprocate in the most appropriate way valid to the situation, i.e. an eye for an eye. Some Buddhist I'd be. >.>

Depends on the game. If you're forced to be all out one alignment to get the most of the game, e.g. inFAMOUS, I'll always go evil first.
If it simply has an alignment system but doesn't enforce it, like Mass Effect, I'll just do whatever I feel like, usually resulting in neutral.

Chaotic Good is my preferred alignment, doing the right thing but in my own way and sometimes making sure it benefits myself as well as others.

I also like true neutral but most videogames HATE this, you only get benefits for pure good/evil and neutral is just how you start the game which sucks like being neutral has no advantages whatsoever (tell that to a diplomat)

I would consider myself Chaotic Good, from the tropes page. That or Chaotic Neutral.

I start on chaotic neutral and go done from there, mid game I'm like: "Oh sh*t I've turned out to be some helping douchebag, let's murder someone before I can't get the evil ending anymore."

Mostly I'm disappointed by the options my character choses from, mostly they are not evil enough.

My preferred alignment is chaotic neutral.

Sure, I would more or less do the right thing, but I would usually do it on my own terms (or what I personally believe is right).

Chaotic good. Lawful good is just too restrictive. It basically means you'd still have to hold up and enforce the laws of an unjust society, simply because those are the laws. Nah, when in a game where you have the power to change things, why wouldn't you?
That's a common misconception, actually. Lawful good means you follow your own moral code that may not neccesarily coincide with local laws. If a paladin kicks down the door of the local Lich King's castle the Lich isn't going to weasel out of a righteous asskicking by pointing out he made asskickings illegal. The paladin's personal code takes precedence over the law.

Lawful good all day erry day.
Are you sure? Bearing in that my minimal experience with the alignments comes from a few brief games of DnD 3.5 and some light Baldur's Gate, I thought the whole appeal of chaotic good was that it was about doing "The Right Thing", regardless of society's current beliefs?

When it comes to Paladins I know they have to follow their chosen God's laws above the laws of man, but wouldn't a lawful good, agnostic warrior or mage have to obey the laws to remain lawful good?
Without an official Paladin Code (tm) to follow it's a bit of a tricky situation, but generally lawful good will weigh laws to see if they uphold a lawful good standard. If they do, they'll keep to them. If not, they'll ideally work within the law to enact the desired changes, but if necessary they'll just ignore the law and uphold their own moral code (for example, if he/she's in a lawful evil empire with legal slavery).

Chaotic good characters do not so much weigh the law itself, as more the situation at hand. The law may be good (no stealing), but if someone's threatening to starve a chaotic good character'll generally approve breaking the law to steal some food.

But of course, there's lots of shades of grey imaginable, which is where moral conflicts and roleplay opportunities come in.

Mostly good, but sometimes someone gets on my nerves. I then attack them... is that evil?

I'm usually "good" and neutral. I will sway torward doing the "right thing" but I tend to get the urge to go "F*** it, I just going to do whatever." So yeah. I guess I would have to vote for mostly good.

I tend to play good-aligned characters out of habit. Evil characters just... tend to be too extreme for me. Sometimes I just can't handle the kinds of acts that evil characters commit. I've been playing a Renegade Shepard for the first time and, even if she's not really "evil", some of her actions have been hard to take.
I intended to do a playthrough of both the games to have a renegade savefile for ME 3. I stopped a few hours into ME1, I just wasn't having fun.

So yeah, I more or less always play good characters.
That said in games like Deus Ex, Deus Ex:HR, the Fallout games, etc, I every now and again get in a "dick around" -mood.
IE "Let's punch this random npc so hard in the groin that his torso explodes!" (<3 FO2)
Or "I wonder how many homeless people I can kill by throwing a fridge from the fifth floor?"
