When you have morality options, do you play as good or evil?

RDR2, I sat on top of a rock cliff and sniped people just walking or riding the trail. I think its fun to kidnap people and throw them on the horse. But I usually tr to do kind things in quests.

I'm autistic about seeing all of the different dialogue interactions in games like that so I usually end up doing a playthrough of both just to see everything.

It's why I love Dragon Age: Origins so much. I was still finding new interactions on my 14th playthrough.

usually go good path first and then complete demon on my next playthrough in games like that.

Yeah, this is usually how I play through games with good and evil options.

To rely on Mass Effect terminology, I nearly always play an apex paragon. I'm not a slave to it, as if a paragon decision is clearly naive or stupid, I won't pick it, as my character is always reasonably pragmatic. But as a rule, I don't kill people unless necessary, I'm not a dick to people unless necessary, etc.

Hell, I recently started playing Dark Souls II, and in the starting area, there's a pack of little kobolds (had to look up the name) running around a clearing. As soon as I saw them, I locked on one and started strafing, only to realize that they wouldn't attack me. Ran around a bit to make sure, and they would just skitter away.

Never so much as swung my mace at one of them. Just left them to run around the clearing.

And that's in fricking Dark Souls...

In RDR2, I wanted to play the good role, but all the fun side stuff required me to be evil. I'm just sitting there grilling some meat at my camp in the middle of a field and a wagon comes by with a lady in the back screaming for help. Let's go see what that is. Of course she's a criminal and I get dinged for killing the two guys driving the wagon. I could be "good" and ignore these random events, but then I wouldn't be playing the game. I did drop that guy off the cliff near the very beginning because I didn't want him to rat me out. That was more self-preservation than being "evil"...ok, I miss RDR2...looking forward to Starfield.

Yea, I'm always good first playthrough of something. I may do an evil thing or two but generally stay down the "righteous" path.

Years ago there was a god sim on PC called Black and White. You could buy it regular price or you could buy a white box version that was $5 more and went towards charity.

it was a pretty neat little experiment. Was a peter molyneuax joint, so it had his classic trade mark of promise the world and under deliver. i still enjoyed it. you could really abuse your little avatar.

I tried to go evil on KOTOR but I just can't. It legit bothers me.

That's me in pretty much any game where morality choices actually matter. Even if I try being evil in the beginning I generally revert back over the course of the game.
