Ugh, I can't pull the damn trigger!

I tend to not go through the evil path because personally, it's not me and it is much more challenging to do the right thing, especially if the rewards are greater in the end. I wouldn't have a problem going the evil route, I would just probably have less fun.

Rather than simply defeating an enemy and proceeding, I have to make sure that they are dead, kill them in a creative way (that might take time), and completely obliterate everything in sight (also a time guzzler).

Yea I don't have the "KILL ALL THE THINGS" viewpoint as some people do. I usually do what I would do, and that mostly turns out to be good. I don't think open world rpgs are the go-to games for the ultimate carnage that people want. I have stuff like Prototype and Just Cause 2 for that. In the context of the fantasy world I'm given, I would much rather have a world full of colorful characters of people who praise me as a hero than dead corpses.

Even taking the villain standpoint, who is more likely to obey your every word? People who fear you or people with an undying loyalty towards you? And who do you think is going to backstab you the first chance they get? Being a benevolent dictator is much more enjoyable if you ask me.

*raises hand* I'm a part of this club. I get no satisfaction at all out of taking the "evil" path. I find it much more gratifying to be thanked for my help than cursed for my hinderance.

I thought the best parts of FO1/2 was going on a kill-spree and removing all the children from the world.

;P

I find immense satisfaction in being evil to see just how far the game will let you go with it. If the game shocks me with despicable acts its worth it, I get a good gamer buzz out of that.

And just so you guys know, I'm a complete wuss so don't go thinking I'm a sadist in real life.

I don't really play games that have moral choice systems. If I do, I usually just do what I think is right, even when the game dubs it the "evil" option. For example, at the very beginning of Fable 2 (I'm not spoilering this because it is literally the very beginning) you have the option of giving a drunk his alcohol, or giving it to a friend who is concerned about him and intends to withhold the alcohol from him. Giving it to the drunk is the "evil" option while giving it to his friend is the "good" option. However, as far as I'm concerned that drunk guy is an adult. He knows what he's doing. If he's unhappy or for whatever reason prefers being drunk, I don't think anyone really has the right to dictate how he should live his life. He wasn't harming anyone. If alcohol is what keeps the guy going surely taking it away is worse.

I feel no remorse for video game characters unless I am attached to them.

I can easily kill someone in COD, it would be much harder for me to do so IRL because of my morals and I'd feel turrible about it.

I never play evil if I can help it. In most RPGs I make my character a version of me and I'm the good guy in my story. Everyone else is either the bad guy, a party member or an NPC. But really, I hate being a treacherous asshole in anything, and games count along with everything else.

 

[The Night Angel]

I always play good for the first playthrough. I often try to play it again being evil, but I often don't enjoy that one, because I just feel really bad when I choose the evil options.
