Moral Choices in Games: Are you Good or Evil?
ignition365:
I generally play somewhere in the realm of neutral good to chaotic neutral.
I do what I want, when I want, usually it's good, but sometimes it's not.
Fallout for instance, I almost always help the good guys, but then I steal their loot when they aren't looking.

Now that I think about it, I haven't played many games with that kind of mechanic. I left the gold alone in the Cave of Bad Dreams, gotta save Clark.

I find at the beginning of the game I always try to be a good guy, but as the game progresses I turn into an asshole. I often find myself thinking "I wonder what will happen if I shoot this kind man in the head" 8)

I think it depends on the game and the characters involved in the current situation. For instance, in Chrono Trigger when you first meet Marle, I feel it's the right thing to do to show her around, immediately give her back the pendant, etc. Of course, on future plays I try to make her mad because she's annoying. Team Lucca all the way.
In Heavy Rain and/or Beyond: Two Souls, I make choices that I think would be best for the current character. If that means killing someone else or setting a house on fire, so be it.

Naturally being a nice guy and pretty moral, if I say so myself, I almost always end up being mostly good when it comes to games. The only time I deliberately went asshole in a game was when I replayed KOTOR. Dark side baby!
