When you have an option in a game are you good or evil

Good

Good. The games tend to lead you in that direction. I feel like the whole bad guy protagonist idea in RPG's are very unexplored design space.

I typically will play through both ways.

For every Telltale game I'll go back and play it 2-3 times and make different choices so I see every side of the story.

In the Witcher I was a pretty good guy my first playthrough. On my second one that I started somewhat recently I decided to start being a huge dick and charging people money for everything or just not helping at all.

Good first playthrough
Evil 2nd

Or just sarcastic in fallout 4 since you can't be evil

Normally I play good the first time through then other playthroughs I make different or evil choices.

I lean towards "evil" if I have the option. Depends on the games definition of evil though, KoToR 1 & 2 I was 100% sith. Mass Effect I'm more of an a-hole than outright evil.

I chose to be a Jew in the Stick of Truth

First playthrough, good. Second playthrough, evil.

I hate how choices pigeonhole you into either "good" or "evil" black and white bullshite. It's particularly bothersome in Star Wars. I'm a sith. Doesn't mean I'm a psychopath. I hate how they won't let you play that way.

Just because I'm a sith doesn't mean I kill people for enjoyment.

I feel like ME doesn't really fit this question. You can't really be evil. You can be a dick, but evil? I don't think so.

You can choose an entire race's fate multiple times...those are some pretty golden chances to be evil.

It depends on the game. Fable I always went evil because I loved how your appearance changed when you were evil but pure (murder innocents but at the same time charge low rent for your properties). I never passed up a chanced to deck that fricking reporter in Mass Effect, but overall I always went good. I think most of the time I'm good, but there's always a few dickish moves sprinkled in if I find a character/quest/race annoying.
