What's your morality in games...

I usually am a "vindictive hero". As in I do whatever it takes to help others...but I am not above a few dirty tricks. As much as I'm willing to help others, I'm also willing to turn a blind eye to some things, and mods help you if you shoot at me.

In Infamous, although I went almost pure hero (one choice I refused to do the hero choice), I almost never took prisoners. If anyone shot at me, I would beat them down and kick them when they were down. They did not get a second chance to shoot me.

Can't avoid doing good. It's bloody difficult when 90% of the quests and every enemy who attacks you unprovoked provides good karma.

I generally do everything to make my life easier that doesn't involve killing anyone else. I also usually help those that I think are in need.

I'm like a superhero who likes shiny things.

Shoot em' all in the knees and run like mad!

Just cause general mayhem really, I'm playing a game to let loose and have fun, the more "Damage" I can do, the better.

No, I am not like this outside of gaming, but I do have an element of "recklessness" for certain situations, where and when appropriate.

Respect me and I'll break my back for you. Fuck with me and I'll break you. That's the only morality for me both in games and life. I'm a loyal friend and I'll never back down.

Lawful Good almost to the point of suicidal stupidity.

As a kid I always chose the paladin route. Now I choose a character before I start the game. I played Mass Effect as a hard-as-nails commander, a guy who had a job to do and was going to see it done come hell or high water and didn't care about much else. I played Dragon Age as a good but naive kid who had a lot of growing up to do. And so forth.

I tend to be "good" for a very unfortunate reason: in many games that offer you such an option choosing the "evil" path simply means you avoid certain dialogue and quests, without getting an alternative. If you want to see most content on your first play through, you pretty much have to be goody two-shoes.

My morality ranges between goody-two-shoes just to see the good ending and my usual style of playing which usually involves inquiries like "Is it flammable? Will it get me more money? How many NPCs can I kill be before the morality police try to reign in/murder me?"

Generally good, as doing running around killing anything that moves doesn't really sound smart/healthy to me...

I try to go for the diplomatic approach, which usually turns out to be the good option.

I just can't be evil in video games. I know that when I play Prototype I should be mowing through the throngs of squishy pedestrians but I just can't bring myself to do it.
And the Dragon Age: Origin evil options are just horrid.

I almost always go the evil route on my first time through a game, it's always more fun. Plus, on the evil route, when you run into a raging prick you can murder them for their rudeness.
Hell, I've even slaughtered an entire towns just because someone annoyed me.
The second time through I tend to choose the good route, just to see how different the ending is.

I usually choose bad because I get there by accident. You have to worry about collateral damage in those squishy civilians, plus you can picture those skinny creatures as your enemies and do things like eat them or lightning them till their Kentucky Fried specs on the walk

I like fun, and being evil is usually a hell of a lot more fun without the moral consequences of real life

In FNV, I did a bunch of legion quests jut so I could get the lucky shades.
