Poll: what moral path would you take

[Hamish Durie]

So in many games their is a moral choice system and i usually choose good(because all of the little sisters sad faces at the end of bioshock made me very depressed)
so if you where transported into a vidoes game or vice versa what path would you choose and please leave a reason.

 

[Sun Flash]

Good. I get guilt tripped far too easily. That's also why I only play evil on my second play through.

 

[Oliman43]

Both, I tend to side with good, but have also been known to do impulsive, evil things out of general spite towards the NPCs.
"Oh, whats that Moira Brown?" ZAP.

 

[SckizoBoy]

Evil... more fun that way.

However, I'm the pretentious sort, so if there's a lawful evil, I go down that route.

 

[Ladette]

What does completely demented fall under? Because i'd probably just join the side with the most good looking, bi-curious women.

I don't care for grand, world saving schemes. I'm just out looking for a good time.

 

[Evil Top Hat]

Me and my top hat were disappointed in the lack of an "evil" option.

 

[Wintermoot]

good although I sometimes let NPC,s die if they yield anything interesting (IE not doing anything when a non-essential NPC get,s attacked)

 

[Anachronism]

I tend to be good but pragmatic. I tend not to worry too much about pissing people off if it accomplishes my aims. I try to be good where possible, but if I have to do something morally questionable in order to do it, then so be it.

Spoiler: Example from Dragon Age: Origins

In the Redcliffe questline, when you find Connor Guerrin possessed by a demon, you can choose to: kill Connor; use his mother's life force to fuel a ritual that will enable you to kill the demon without harming the boy; or go to the Circle of Magi and get their help. I didn't want to risk leaving a demon in charge for the several days it would take to get to the Circle, so I sacrificed his mother. Alistair was pissed.

 

[Ilikemilkshake]

Neutral, I'd go Utilitarian and do whatever helped the greatest number of people, although i dont think i could ever do anything truly evil.

 

[StormShaun]

DO any of you people know who I am, I am a paragon, im am good at any chance I get, not just becasue I get perks and benefits but it is the right thing to do...even though it is just I game, I play it as I want, doing evil makes me feel sick.

 

[Mr.Wizard]

If I was actually transported into a game. Yeah I'd go good, it's (mostly) what i do in real life so I don't see it being any different. However I always choose the evil path on my first playthrough of most games cause they tend to be more fun and for, y'know, escapism.

 

[Reallink]

I usually play good, but mst of the time because it can be difficult to be evil. Take Fable. You could be good and play normally, but if you were evil, you generally had to go grind evil points because doing quests would earn good points.

 

[The Apothecarry]

Good. I also get sent on guilt trips really easy. Fallout 3 is the only game where I've actually felt bad about something evil that I do. The fact that it's a gorram game has nothing to do with it.

The 'moral' system is just a way to make you replay the game in order to see the consequences different 'paths' lead you to. Nothing more, nothing less.
Never have a game made me actually involved in deciding the fate of pixels, I just want o get the best loot and most experience, so I might not kill benegir when I see him just for another 2K Exp. You follow me?
Even in open world games like oblivion and fallout 3, it's all about the content and replayability. Damnit, 'The Witcher 2' has a second act that plays vastly differently (different locations, wuests, NPCs, goals - basically you're fighting the other side that you might've joined earlier) due to one choice in act 1. That significantly increases the replayability value of it, but also shrtening it to around 30 hours of gameplay.
Do I really want to spare the nobleman that I killed in a duel to see how he would reclaim his lost fiefs and fight for the freedom of him family? No. I want to see more content. And more boobs. Thatnk you 'The Witcher 2' for choices, morality, and pixelated boobs.

 

[Knight Captain Kerr]

If I can tell the devs made a mistake. I will do what I think is right, which is ussually considered good in the game systems.

 

[The Wykydtron]

Good until there's an opportunity to blow something up.

Take Fallout 3, i'm really nice until Tenpenny says "sup wanna nuke Meg-" "YES!"

Or if there's an delicious "if i betrayed this guy now it would be hilarious" moment

E.g. Samara vs Morinth in ME2
