Poll: In RPG's what Moral Path will you take? (On your First Playthrough)

I tend to play 100% good all the time, sometimes even if it isn't my first time playing through the game. I usually feel really guilty about playing evil characters and I pretty much never kill NPCs without a plot device forcing me. The exception was with Oblivion...my friend kept telling me about all the cool things you got to do if you played in the Dark Brotherhood...and for some reason that game even more than Fallout 3 encouraged some dark hidden kleptomania that I did not know I had.
This. It's even the wording I would use.Chiefmon said:
In accordance with my username, I do tend towards neutrality on subsequent playthroughs...but I very rarely go lower than neutral. In a good game, I just don't feel right throwing someone under the bridge for more power or a quick buck. I can enact minor evil for a laugh, but <url=http://www.blogcdn.com/www.massively.com/media/2008/05/phipps.jpg>real, serious evil is not only quite beyond me, I tend to react violently to it.
I'm the greedy bastard. What ever benefits me the most at the time, that is what I will take. Though right now I'm playing Infamous for the first time, and I'm taking the "Kill the Puppy" route just to change it up
I tend to play through on Good in part because the Evil path is, as you mentioned, "stupid evil." Sure, the Good path might lead you to be a bit of a bland saint, but I just don't see the logic of NPCs sticking around some puppy-stomping sociopath through the whole story.
Mass Effect is the one exception to this rule. I love playing Renegade. Rather than Puppy-Stomping Sociopath, you are just a Complete Gratuitous Asshole, which I think works within the logic of the story.

Ugh, I hate answering this.
On my first way through, I just play the game.
What ever seems like a good idea at the time, I do.
Let's use Fallout 3 as an example.
I laid the smack down on Butch, I hated him.
I shot the Overseer, I hated his pompous self (That's right, I heard that comment about me being a snot-nosed brat!)
I saved Megaton, but Lucas got shot. (Took Lucas' Gun)
I went hard-core optional for Moria. (Didn't know about the perk either)
Jacked Moriatry's Terminal for the info.
Killed Silver, took her money.
Saved Harold (always liked him, didn't feel he should die, got some nice armor)
Saved Reilly's Rangers, got awesome armor.
Was nice to ghouls, got nice stuff.
Betrayed Crowley, on accident, I wanted to see where the keys led.
Killed Tenpenny after I let Roy in.
Killed Roy.
Killed everyone in hte Tower EXCEPT Dashwood.
Saved Fawkes, got him later after Raven Rock.
It goes on and on. But, I tried to serve myself in Fallout 3.
What should have been evil choices netted me "Better than Jesus" karma in the end.
I didn't shoot Three dog either.

I usually go 100% Good on my first playthrough. I can't seem to bring myself to be evil in my first run. It's strange though because I can be a dick in real life quite easily. Maybe there's something wrong with me...*shrugs it off*
When I do my eventual evil playthrough though it provides me more laughs than actual satisfaction, i.e. Mass Effect.
