Do you play good guy bad guy

[mjs warlord]

As you know a lot of games have alternative endings depending on the actions you take throughout a story line so what do you do.

I usually do 3 runs of a game.

1. mix good and bad choices just for the hell of it.
2. do everything good to keep everyone happy.
3. double cross everyone and make multiple bad choices just to see what happens

I struggle to finish even one run of most games. In that one run, I do typically try to be good, though some games make that very tedious. There are a couple of games where I started an evil run after completing the good run, but it usually doesn't change the game enough to warrant playing through the entire thing again.

It also doesn't help that I just don't enjoy stories where the bad guy wins.

Good guy. Always the good guy. i can't find it in my heart to play evil if i was given the choice.

Sacred 2 has 2 different campaigns based on which alignment your characters are. So it makes it easy, you have to play more than one time to get entire story. Some of the classes can only play one of the campaigns as they cannot be evil. Or good.

Most of the games I play don't have the moral decisions where you can pick.

Chaotic good is always my first playthrough. If I actually every try a second one I sometimes start out trying to take the evil choices but almost always slip back on it or fall off.

I have a Baldurs Gate 3 Dark Urge run at the start of Act 2, its interesting because, without spoiling too much, sometimes you dont get a choice as to whether to be evil or not and then you have to deal with the fall out of stuff that happened when the character wasnt conscious. I think a lot of people tend towards the good/heroic decisions so its a fun way of forcing people a little out of their comfort zone.

Chaotic neutral, I like to have the option for flexibility. I'd be the type of player who could give a coin to a beggar in Skyrim, but also break in and steal from a random house. In Oblivion, I would join the Dark Brotherhood, but I would not go on a complete rampage, killing innocent people. I mean, I can enjoy doing that for a moment in games like Hitman or GTA V, but I would not keep on doing it, it's more for looking at the ragdoll physics or seeing how long I can evade the cops.

I also like dark and gory games like Manhunt or Postal, but here you don't really have much choice but to play the character they put in front of you, so you don't feel sorry for killing innocent people; it's just part of the humour or plot of the game.

Good. I played so good in Path of the Righteous that I had butterflies flying out of my butt!

I always play as Paragon Shepard in Mass Effect Legendary Edition, but I do some Renegade choices.

I usually try to play good, with heavy amounts of stealing everything I can to sell it. Can't save the world without public funding. 🤷‍♂️
