And... why pray tell do you feel your character does this? What experiences in his childhood and life put such a deviant and violent personality together? How did his mother treat him? Did his father abuse him? Was he secretly homosexual and lashing out at the world for not letting him be what he felt he was publicly? Does he just hate radiation THAT MUCH?sextus the crazy said:

Was locked up and abused by raiders his whole childhood and adolescence. This trauma so affected him that he lost his ability speak. Eventually, he just snapped, murdered his way out of their camp and lived off the land. He murders because he afraid of all people because of his experiences with them. He wants to live alone in peace, but he is tracked down by jsut about every faction.Delsana said:
Then he's secretly a GOOD GUY saving others from possibly horrible experiences that they may or may not have had. In any case, remember that in most cases stockholm syndrome takes place and he would begin raping and abusing others as he had done to him, usually they don't rebel.sextus the crazy said:
I think you misunderstood me. my character isn't killing because he has become like the raiders, his experiences with the raiders has influenced him so that he is afraid of all humans because he fears them to be like the raiders. He kills all people he meets to protect himself from their perceived danger. He attacks for the same reason a cornered animal attacks: out of fear.Delsana said:
first play through i play good guy in every way i can. then about half way through i go back to the starting town and kill everyone and if possible take their heads and stick them around the main road to the town. i do this to represent the main character's desensitization to violence and eventual collapse into insanity due to the ungrateful nature of the town's residents.
2nd time through i kill everyone from the start. i figure my character from the first play through traveled back in time with all of his memories and figured it was easier to do it this way.

It is kinda hard to do in the RPGs I play (I'm currently play Mario & Luigi: Bowser's inside story and Pokemon Black) since your character is already a character. I could always narrate my actions in a funny manner, or only do the Roleplaying when it comes to battling other (Real) people's Pokemon since the game's story, while not that much of one, doesn't allow for much unless you follow the plot. What I need is an RPG that isn't as linear.
I ironically do more roleplay when playing other game genres than Roleplaying.

My first playthrough is always what would happen if I myself were teleported with all of my current knowledge and a Google machine thing into the game, and transformed into the main character. I will make every choice I would make and play it as a game for fun instead of an RP event.
After that, I start up a second playthrough where I play as a character instead of as myself, and I will pick and choose sides based off that characters experiences. I will usually find a way to get myself into every quest possible, just for the fun, but my character will have their own goals in said quest, and my previous playthrough of everything will tell me whether it is possible to do this or not. If it is not possible to end the quest in a way that keeps my character making sense, I will not take it, but there usually is some way to do it.

I often just ascribe my own personality (Well...Plus a few levels in badass) to the hero when playing an RPG. I tend to be a nice guy, often a mage, or a mage/fighter hybrid, and while I always try to help those in need, I WILL unleash righteous fury on total pricks, as well as take any underhanded advantages I can get against baddies.
I think I've only really roleplayed twice... I forget the first time. The second time is...well, now, actually. I'm trying to get into morrowind, and I'm playing my character as a laid back, naive Khajiit, who thinks that everything belongs to everyone, and who believes that "thieves" is another word for "friends" (he read it in a book made by the thief guild! IT HAS TO BE TRUE!!!!).
While skyrim interests me, I'm gonna wait for the inevitable GOTY version which will have ALL the content in it at once (so I don't have to wait for it), as well as all the patches, meaning less nasty bugs when I get to the game.

I prefer to leave RPing to the tabletop games.
A good GM will change his campaign to match your character as much as you change your character to match the campaign.
Videogames, not so much.
So, I guess in the context established thusfar I've got a firm no.
Also, thusfar is totally a word, your dictionary is just lying.
