Play The Witcher. Aside from the first chapter, there is no good vs. bad, there is organization vs. organization. Now in games where there is good vs. evil morality, I tend to be the good guy all the time because the other option is being a sarcastic asshole and being a sarcastic asshole is horribly unfun for everyone.
What's your morality in games...

well i fell like it depends on the game you're playing. for example in fallout i just felt like murdering everyone and everything. so i did. and it was awesome. but then take Mass Effect 1 & 2 where it really felt like your decisions had an impact. at the end of Mass effect 1 (warning spoiler) where you have to choose between the 'Speciest' Udina or the rational captain Anderson to head the new council i seriously sat there for a half hour. i didnt want to make a 'Bad' decision. udina had the political experience but he was racist and anderson had no experience but he was a military man and entering into a war it might have been better to have him leading the council. i guess it depends on how well the game draws me in. usually at some point i make a seperate save file and just have a blast, but in the end i always kind of draw a neutral line. i make the decisions on the same kind of moral basis. i kind of weigh whats fair. if an NPC isnt friendly i might eat his face in return. but if everyones civil i keep neutral..
on my first playtroughs on games Im usually sarcastic/humorous, and other choices I choose depending on the situation but usually in the end im more in the "bad / evil" side of the fence, on later playtroughs I might just choose the morality Im going to be when I start a new characters
If it's something like Fallout in which I don't give much of a fuck about anything, then NPC's are just item containers. Big, squishy, walking, talking item containers... so bad. If it's something like Bioshock though where the game actually makes an attempt to make me feel bad, then good, then bad afterwards.
I always choose a good morality in game, i figure if you had the power to help the people who needed the help most then whats stopping you from making a massive possitive change to the lives of at least a few good people.
Then again it's always too easy and quite satisfying to go on a murderous rampage every now and then

I always start out by picking the good decisions on my first playthrough, or the decision I think will be the best. It's usually either an good or neutral character. I always take the most witty options. I alwyas find it hard to get started with an evil character, but it usually turns out to be the most fun one. I never get tired of seing Shepard use his interviewer beating skills
When I first started playing video games I was always the evil callous figure that screwed the rules bc he could kill anything the game could throw at him
However, I find that this isn't always the best way to go through a game and that you can lose a lot in certain games for playing this way. Now I play a mix, leaning towards good.

I'd like to do evil in games but it comes off as more dickish evil which is not the way of true evil.
Speaking as someone whose only gaming experience of moral choices are the Fable series, I start up as a good character. I pick all of the good choices, I make a nice little family in happy town, and I donate £7,000,000 to the temple of Avo, light, my little pony. Then, I get bored, or irritated, or just give up, and murder everyone in happyville, buy all of their houses, spend the rent on a huge sword/ gun, and then kick everyone out of their houses. End result? A permanent maxed out evil rating, an army of people who constantly boo you, and a bunch of empty towns that spell out, if you join them on a map, F**K YOU.
...yeah... I have a problem.

I usually am a "vindictive hero". As in I do whatever it takes to help others...but I am not above a few dirty tricks. As much as I'm willing to help others, I'm also willing to turn a blind eye to some things, and mods help you if you shoot at me.
In Infamous, although I went almost pure hero (one choice I refused to do the hero choice), I almost never took prisoners. If anyone shot at me, I would beat them down and kick them when they were down. They did not get a second chance to shoot me.

Depends on the game, if its Bethesda games I kill everything, anything else I kill everything they will let me.
