Are you evil or good?

so the question is simple in a rpg did you will be evil or good or neutral?

me it is simple..I can be both I can be one day Good like a hero

and the other day i am a evil cat who plot to conquer the dog world! 

or simply neutral because I am lazy to choose my side ;3

only depend of my mood ;3

and for you?

.................well...i guess it depends on what you mean by evil. Do you murder innocent people in your game? Well....i would certainly deem that quite evil. 

But "me"....i liked to play Skyrim alot back when i could, now...I did infact play through the Dark Brotherhood quest line, both in Oblivion and Skyrim...but i favor a less dark character. However, one thing i loved is skyrim and oblivion was a stealth character! MAN!! I loved sneaking around!! So needless to say, i often played as a semi-neutral Thief character. I do think that stealing is wrong and could be classified as evil, but...really, if you play skyrim YOU-WILL have to steal "something" eventually...heck, you could even do it on accident, just like in real life...only, you cant just take what you stole back and say your sorry...its too late, the Dark Brother Hood is on its way already...all because, in a single mispress of a button, you pocketed a bottle of the proprietors precious fire ward potions (talk about an over reaction o_O).....but i digress. It doesnt make me feel good being a bad guy, even in a game.

GOOD GUY!!....who likes to be sneaky and has some....slight...kleptomania issues to iron out .... :D

haha well the devil is can be interpret in many way you just told the most extremis type of evil...

for a exemple is like dalph who doing is evil troll this is rather evil : D

but I am evil in someway because I torture my character..but in someway I mix everythings I always put sensibility in my story / manga because unjustified violence is totally evil so...

GOOD!

Muhahaha, Deathswallow. I know EXACTLY what you mean about accidentally stealing something in Skyrim. In my case, I don't even remember what I took for the Brotherhood to be sent against me ;P

Nio, I like playing flawed characters, and that includes the ones with a bit of a ruthless edge. It really all depends :)

I'm just weird. In games with choices I generally impose my own morality onto the gameplay and end up missing content as a result. So while I've played fallout 3 several times I've never worked for the slavers at paradise falls, never accepted mr. Burkes offer and for the longest time I never completed the ten penny tower mission because I didn't think there was a way to do it without completely slaughtering one side. I get that it's just a game but choosing to be an rear end in a top hat in game kind of makes me feel like an rear end in a top hat, so I try not to do it much. That doesn't mean that I won't ever make the bad move though, I did help a sentient tree-man commit suicide and hack moiarty's computer rather than put up with his bs extortion, but that's more morally ambiguous than evil.

i dont think thats weird, im more or less the same way....but then i get curious about what happens in the bad guy side of the story. 

Both makes no sense, unless in real life you are flip floppy then I guess it does, usually I go with evil because I think that's the most realistic and fun experience.  Neutral would just be a bore, and good...well there are no good people in the world so maybe that's more of a fantasy role??

this is depend of all the situation I am a pretty good person but sometime I can have what we can call a dark side

being good or evil is not something we think

the true fact who show or eviliness or kindness is not with thinked act

it is proved by unintentionnal act

like a reflex to do something like helping a old lady who drop is stuff at the ground

or laught at someone who fall on is bicycle.

so naturally i am not flip flop like you say

i am the type to reflect people reaction so it is why i say i am both

when someone is kind with me i am kind

if someone is bad with me I will bad with him

i am litterally a mirror

and this is literrally impossible to someone to be only evil or good

we have all this both part in us

only the education and the Life experience change the balance

Well....what is it when your good to someone who was bad to you?

I think this is call Hyprocresie to yourself xD?

or more you left you get down by other people XD

how would being good to some one who was bad to you make one a hypocrite? And i didint understand the last part.

I

In other words, every single RPG character since the beginning of the genre? :)

For curiosity I tried both the ways in games like Mass Effect, Black & White, Infamous, Star Wars and Fable and I must say that the experiences were both gratifying. Good or Evil...I think it's good to experiment both of them first before choosing your preference.

IRL I'm cunning (I usually manifest intelligence by being astute), that's why I prefer villains or anti-heroes in videogames, because I can identify myself into them better. This doesn't mean that I dislike heroes! Without a hero there can't be a villain and viceversa, they complete eachother together. Without Batman Joker would probably commit suicide, he needs Batman and Batman needs him aswell.

In videogames my preference goes towards the Evil path simply because I think that it suits me more, but again this doesn't mean that I can't appreciate or play as an hero. I'm talking like an anti-hero here, maybe Sharm wasn't that far from the truth after all.

Trolling per se isn't really Evil but bad trolling can be. My biggest problem here is that I'm a good troll.

Neutral, because I'm boring and I'm not fond of extremes, lol. But when playing games, I do enjoy the evil route moreso, just for the sake of messing around.

Well I usually go for the good guy in general.

But there are situations that I would do the "bad" thing.

This is what some good RPGs have and make then enjoyable.

Freedom to choose. For instance, Mass Effect 2.

I was full paragon in the end.

I choose some Renegade decision anyway though.

(Paragon is the good Paladin guy concept, while Renegade is the bad guy concept)

Making good or bad choices in a GAME, doesn't make you a good or a bad person.

If a game has the ability to make you decide on your own morals though, it means the game succeeded to put you in its world and make the hero feel like your personal incarnation in that world.

I would go for the good guy decision, not always but most of the time.

A good game though, must contain all possible scenarios ;)

More freedom = more awesome game in my opinion.

In games I make decisions that often make the most sense. Obviously that is still left up for me to decided 'what makes sense' but when given dialogue or story options I always pick the one that I think fits the circumstance and the character best. 

If we're talking about me as a person, I am inherently good, but do not often act in a way that challenges establishment. I mostly mind my business because my little pocket of existence is in good balance.

I agree that most people are a complex admixture of good and evil.  The extremes of both are very rare.

But I've firsthand seen, known and know many good people in the world, as shown through their actions and words.  Nobody is perfect, true.  But that's not required for someone to be good overall.  I feel it's very very sad if someone is so jaded they think good doesn't exist in the world.

Frankly, if everyone were evil, humanity wouldn't still exist, given we have had weapons for what, 70 years, that can torch the entire planet at will.

In terms of games, if I want to create havoc, I have fun with a little game called "Goat Simulator"  You are a goat and your "goal" is to wreak havoc.  Said goat is invincible and indestructible.  The fun is finding the strange things you can do.  Some examples:  take over DJing a party on a 100 story building, get launched into the sky via a firework, then use your super-stretchy tongue to latch onto a roller coaster and bounce around the track. 

It's a fun little game to create outright havoc.

The first time I play a game, I will be evil, as leveling up is usually a bit faster and easier in an evil campaign. Once I've beaten it, and I really enjoyed the game and know all the controls and gameplay, I will then go through as good.

what I meaned in some way is like why did you will kind wth someone who enjoy to hurt you ? unless this is a way to solve the problem 

be kind with someone who hurt you is like to ''lying '' to yourself in some way but this theory can be interpret with multiple way 

i am not say you are hypocrite xD this was a bad word is like ...hum...how explain this in english...

more like is not to be honest to you or you don't realise the intention of the person..like I said unless it was something like you had a fight and everything ...

be kind with someone who intentionnally hurt you for put your down is like to ''lie'' to play the innocent in some way.

but you can think of my opinion is weird I try to my best to explain to in english....
