I depends on what kind of character I'm playing, my own character in Oblivion is a thief, but not a murderer. On the other hand I do have on phychotic killer mage, a knight, another thief. Actually I have characters based on all the characters from the Webcomic 8-Bit Theater. Sometimes I'm evil sometimes I'm not, it just depends.
I act as i would have done in that situation if my balls somehow instantly became the size of death stars (if things go bad I can just reload the save so I don't really have reason to not be stupidly ballsy)
so I'm mostly nice on the big things unless you happen to be kinda alone and have some nice goodies.

I usually play a kind of neutral good character. Except for in Oblivion where many of my characters were lawful evil. I tried a chaotic evil character in Fallout 3, and it got to the point where the only dialog option he'd need was "Maim, kill, burn! MAIM KILL BURN". I think I ran out of NPCs on that one.
Like a giant dick. I made it a point to kill every single npc I could in Fallout 3. I emptied entire TOWNS!
I don't really bother trying to kill people. what do i really get out of it? a bounty, some gold and a bunch of guards after me. always ends with me going to jail or dying
By the end of the game, everything is dead and/or stolen. MINE. I used to only play as the paragon of light and all that was good though.
If there's a conversation option along the lines of "Is there a reward involved?", I'm selecting it. If persuasion fails, I love to steal shit from people whom I've just killed (I depopulated Rivet City just to get everyone's stuff, FYI).
I'm generally good-aligned, but if I'm fighting against someone opposed to that or just someone being a bozo (i.e. someone being less than nice because they think they can get away with it), I'm usually fairly brutal on them.
Not sure what I am.
I kill people, but for the quests (Morag Tong in Morrowind), I steal shit (whenever), but I'm never really evil, unless it's Fable, then MURDER TOWNS!

I get a little reckless with my unimaginable powers, so a few innocents die in the process. None of it's intentional though.
Te most evil thing I did in a RPG was nuke megaton, and even then, It was to see what would happen.
If I can find a duster/cool coat (bonus points for fedora and cool glasses/goggles) in game for my character to wear, I will have the world think I'm a good guy, fighting for them. But then... my character snaps, shoots up/slaughters a town or whatever he may come across, and from then on, will always spend a good amount of time debating whether to help the NPC, or kill them.
I do most quests out of my own selfishness. Will helping out this town help me out later? Will I get some special stuff? That is general what i think while playing RPGs. Though they don't always give me that kind of freedom. For example:
So, during the main quest I met a robot called Yes Man. He told me that i could become the head of New Vegas with his help. He also told me to secure alliances with various factions for my up-coming coup. So I thought that I could take over Vegas for myself and secure the NCR in power with me(I didn't really like Ceaser's Legion). So I went about securing alliances a building up rep with the NCR. And then when i went back to Yes Man to tell him I had secured alliances with the people I needed I got a notice saying that if I continued on my current path everyone would turn against me. That was a bit of a kick in the balls and ruined my grand plans for the Mojave Wasteland.
