Exactly know what you mean man! its just you start feeling your conscience slapping you on the head going : WTF ARE YOU DOING!Kavachi said:
I play the goody good guy on the first playthrough,because even if it's a little harder sometimes,you get better rewards(case and point,Dawn of War 2).On later playthrough,I play the dickhead.The chaotic Evil guy.
There is no problem the proper application of murder can't solve.

Good guy, mainly because my cynicism often translates to extreme cases in terms of games. Very few games allow me or my character to be a Deadpan Snarker [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeadpanSnarker] without coming off as a flat-out dick.
That and most of my characters are some form of "good" (like my girl Erika in ME2, a Neutral Good at best).
Edit: I just finished some little alignment test as if I was my character in ME2. Turns out she's Lawful Good. Huh... must've been all that time in the Marines.

The majority of the time(at least for my inital playthrough) I play as a morally good person, but on additional playthroughs I'll go the other way or do whatever feels right.
I play the good guy, because most games really don't give you any serious changes or decisions other than you're a child eating demon that slaughters everyone for no reason and just everyone hates you. There's no games (at least that I'm familiar with) where there are real shades of morality, ie you can lean towards being a bad guy just by being a dick, or doing things for your own means, but that doesn't mean you walk into a village and cut everyone's throats and swim in their blood.
I like playing good guys because there's no guilt that can't be dismissed with the phrase "It was strictly necessary at the time". It is fun to be an ass every now and then though.
I dunno, I think of ethics as right and wrong over good and evil. It just seems that Good and Evil are titles. But my characters are generally nice guys, and get high on the good bar-thing. So I'll go with good.
totally agree!dthvirus said:
its not my fault if i like to admire things and forget to put them back D;
I would say it depends upon the game. Like, if evil is permissable and even encouraged (ala the Fallout series or Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, the latter of which you basically ARE the bad guy right from the beginning ^^ *maniacal laughter*), I'm not above pounding a few faces in*. But in general, I think I fall in line behind the good guy, just because...
Besides, they usually get the better ending for whatever reason :/ Laaaaame.
*When entertainment ensues, namely.

Depends. I mostly play good guys but I'll do the occasional evil/dickish thing.
For example, in Gothic I regularily knock out traders and steal all their stuff (though I won't kill them or any random people) and, later on in the story, "depopulate" the Old Camp.
EDIT:
A little of both, I guess.

EDIT:
Yah, me too. It's also more productive and has better long-term effects, so I'm not sure I did it to be nice or for the advantages it provides.Fuhjem said:
