Neutral. I shoot em in the face if their request is pathetic, I'll help them if they have a decent job for me, or have a compelling story.
My moral compass must be all sorts of messed up, then. By following mine I ended up in Australia.Serenegoose said:

As for people being used to you here already, it's kind of hard not to be. I didn't call you the Queen of Sunshine and Happiness for nothing.
I mean, uh... Yeah, sure, we can report it if it happens.
I tend to do evil when I'm messing around. Typically will do good the first time around, evil the 2nd.
On my first play-through I would say I play something I like to refer to as "Chaotic Good" (Yeah, I know it is from D&D. So sue me). What I mean by this is that I generally make good choices, but sometimes some of the more evil characters tend to have... accidents around me. Of course on my second play-through I go completely evil, just to see what it is like.
I approach every decision like I would if I had to make it in real life; as such my characters are always good, helpful but not necessarily law abiding.
I've tried on various occasions to play an evil character for shits an giggles but the evil options are just too evil for me to contemplate.

I make decisions in games the same way I would in real life. Put into common parlance, my process generally involves a priority system that looks something like this:
The mission comes first. If a decision has the possibility of impacting my odds of success, I will choose the option that would seemingly offer the highest probability of mission success.
If the decision is not likely to impact the odds of success with my end state goal, I then choose the option that involves making the most people happy. Having allies is never a bad thing.
If the decision is not likely to affect my chances of success or the lives of others, I choose the course advocated for by those who surround me.
If none of the above are true, I choose the course with the best possibility for personal gain.

My first and "cannon" play through is always GOOD. That is how I would try and handle the situation and is what I feel the story should be told. Then I go through as an EVIL character as if I were playing a fan fiction or one of those alternate universe things.
In Mass Effect I played first as a Paragon (Good) and named the character after myself (Ray) as if I were really Shepard because that is what I would have done and it is how I imagine the story is intended to be told. Then I go back through as a Renegade (Evil) as an alternative, to see what would happen if Shepard were a dick and I get to live out my inner "dick," if that makes sense.

Good almost always, unless they are a douche then I'll take the "evil" option, which I only even really do in Mass Effect because of the fact that many descisions are just ones in conversation that won't change much. But I usually do the good thing simply because I can't bring myself to be an asshole to people who have done nothing to wrong me.
I tend good... but more and more games seem to go bad get the good sh*t, IE infamous. With most that I play the affiliation chosen has little to do with actual game out come (oh no they run away from me because I'm mean) I'll go whats most benfecial... but if it actually matters I go good
I go for the good missions, but if I think I can get rich off of it I'll take the evil option for money.
Depends on the game don't it?
Mass Effect I see it as a character, I'll play the role of the type of person it creates from it's bio. A survivor who stood the line to defend a colony? She'll be a military commander who fights for her people and her planet and later citadel for what will be best for the role of the many.
Kain from Legacy of Kain? He's evil, I play him evil. Silly ripped people's skin off with a blast.
An angel fallen to Earth? Well he's good and will do what he can to help all others.
Good or bit of a jerk and still good Mickey from his Epic story? I'll be good for Mickey's sake.
Neutral like Cole of Infamous? I'll let the game design for me with what would be the best and most effective choice to help out the character and his friends. If it's good, I'll be good, if it's evil, I'll go for evil.
If it's just me, a character I roll myself or build my own start and choices, say Fallout 3? It's a me, McAster. I'll play and respond how I would if I was in the same situation and issues. Which I tend to think as doing the right thing and doing unto others as they have done unto me save for very good reasons.
It's all about the story for me. I want to get the most out of it with the character, so I'll pick what I feel will best deliver that. Of course I'll then play the games over again just to see what I missed with the other alignments.
