Neutral Good. Save the hot princess. Murder thousands of faceless minions. Screw the empire, screw the rebellion.
Which alignment do you prefer to play as (when given the choice)?

The only problem with pretty much all video games is that they rarely actually let you play them with this many options for behavior. If I had my way in every single game, I'd most likely be playing as Neutral Good. Generally I'm a nice guy and I don't go out of my way to fight against authority, but if I think that there's something wrong with the law, then I'll ignore it.
I prefer Chaotic Evil or True Neutral. The former is for fun, the latter is for realism. I mean really, what's more fun in a game, watching as a city burns, or running through the burning city pillaging everything in site?
I would be the sly type of evil. To me evil people do evil things and get caught. Good people do evil things and get away with it.
I would normally play as Chaotic neutral with good tendencies. Cause strap up good guys are too predictable. If the baddy is hanging on the edge of a cliff, even if it would be for the greater good, or the baddy is going to through him over the edgge the second he is back up, the average good guy will help him up. However, I would step on his fingers with a slight smile on my face. Dark and light are to restrictive, I prefer to stand in the grey, a warrior of the twilight.
Good usually, it might take a little longer to level up but there is generally some major advantage to it. Fallout 3 has people randomly give you things like money and stimpaks, InFamous had people not throwing rocks at you in an attempt to throw off your groove, Might and Magic Dark Messiah let you use divine weapons which were to undead what a lawnmower is to grass, especially helpful considering they do a good deal of harm to regular enemies whilst most last level enemies are undead, Bioshock made up for it's issues by giving you the occasional large burst of adam and other stuff along side it, and Oblivion gave you the aid of the gods themselves by way of healing and bonuses if you weren't a wanted criminal. Also, games with moral choice systems generally want you to be bad so it's a little bit like spiting them when you go the regular stalwart hero of the land route.
Bad. Like bad bad, chaotic bad. I dont want the people to hate me, I want them to fear me and hate me as a byproduct of that fear. I love in Fable TLC when if you were completely evil running through town, people ran in terror from you.
I usually play along the lines of good for the first time through.
Evil for the second.
And for the third time, now knowing the benefits of both sides, try to make a story out of it. Like, for Fable: The Lost Chapters, after the prison part, my guy went from good to steadily more evil.
A nerd move, yes, but I find joy in it. ^^

My first post for the win.
I suppose my general alignment would be heavy chaotic good, to the point of looping ino a false chaotic evil.
My monk in D&D, for example. "What? The target is being held in the center of that monster encampment? Most of them are just the family of the warriors, or other hostages?" -Proceeds to rampage through anything moving in the target's general direction-
Or, Fallout 3. Tenpenny doesn't like Ghouls? Slaughter him and everyone in the tower, pocketing every cap and shiny object to "better protect the wasteland". What's this? The ghouls moved in? Zombie trash, know your place! If it wasn't for a sudden redemption I went with in Broken Steel, I think he'd have been firmly set in Chaotic Evil...

I've played as good all the way through Fallout 3 and nobody has given me a thing. I've heard you get gifts but nobody gives them to me :/Del-Toro said:
Depends on the character, their background, their everything. I tend to make good characters evil and evil characters good. Boredom and remorse, respectively... usually. Paladin? BORED. SLAUGHTERFEST. Chaotic Evil. Characters' boredom, to be specific, not my boredom. If I get bored playing a game then it sort of defeats the purpose of playing it, I think. Sometimes I come up with more in-depth motivations, where possible.
