Moral Choices in Games: Are you Good or Evil?
gf78:
In games that allow you to make good or evil choices, which side do you fall on? What do you think it says about you as a person?
For me, I overwhelmingly choose the path of good. I only ever go "evil" when I am doing a second playthrough to see what happens differently. In all of the Infamous games, I had good Karma. In the Fable games, I always chose to do the right thing...except that one time in Fable II when my female character was married and I started flirting with a man in a different town and got caught by my suspicious husband. But we won't talk about that...I've always also been on the Paragon side as opposed to Renegade in the Mass Effect games.
As for what it says about me as a person, I think I'm a good person that wishes the best for everyone in life. My friends and co-workers all find me extremely likable. I'm the person they tell their secrets and feelings to so I guess they feel I'm trustworthy.

I usually go for good, simply because a good majority of those moral choice games actually punish you for being bad in way or another. You can't access certain missions, shop sellers won't sell to you, guards attack you on site, etc.

I usually do a playthrough as good... and all playthroughs after that initial one, I play as evil. The two KotoR games are a perfect example of this. It's harder to play the path of evil, when it comes to the challange it gives my empathy, but somehow much more rewarding.

It really depends on my mood and how the videogame's story progresses, i do notice however i tend to lean more towards the negative choices as i go on. It is sometimes more fun to be evil. >:)

neither. I entirely play as a chaotic neutral character. if the choices I am given sound fun that is what I do. What? blow up a nuke and destroy an entire settlement that I will never be able to go back to? ok sounds like fun. Huh? kill a person in a town that turns the entire town against me? and I will be killed on sight? no thank you not just yet.
