I hate doing bad things, I don't even like killing wolves...makes me feel all guilty and shit.

then I remember half of the game content can't be played if you're all good (most of the civil war stuff, dark brotherhood, thieves guild, etc), so I man up and choke a bitch....then go back to my house in whiterun and cry into my sheets.

Me too, though not quite that extreme. in one the civil war quests, I had to get some documents off 1 guy, and the only way was to kill him, I felt really bad and ran straight to the guards to pay my bounty.

Like darthVolod said, it is all about the immersion, and despite the glitches and few oddities (dialogue lines are the same wherever you are, so they often reccomend you head over to where you already are...) in Skyrim I do really feel like I am hurting people and doing bad things if I do, but for Daedric quests and the like, I end up doing bad things occassionally, though I try to help people in the best way I can. The difference in Skyrim is that there is no Karma meter, and stuff is more grey than just black and white, so I do always do what I think is nicest (though I do occassionally get lazy...)

In Mass Effect, I mostly feel the people I am being mean to are evil themselves (though I only ever ended the Wrex dispute in 1 way because he is fantastic), so I don't feel so bad playing as an evil guy, but I am always the good guy first.

Im always the good guy. I like to believe the good things i do in video games i would do for real people in real life.

I also sorta believe that people in games are real people and that me helping them really has helped. Even online if i see someone bleeding out ill try my damned best to get to them, come hell or high water. I absolutely hate in story's where people die in front of you and there really is no way to save them, i try to be as good as possible because being good earns you respect, friendship and trust whether online or in the story.

In the real world i too try to be as good as possible and just cant see why some people, like the bad guy in video games, have fun hurting others. I hate bad guys, they dont show the emotions that make us human and i am a firm believer in humanity. This is why i play good.



Wait... does this mean im not human?

Well I'm heavily aligned with the Dark Brotherhood...and I Refused to carry out one of the contracts because I was being asked to kill...literally the first person that showed any kindness to me when I first entered Whiterun (anoriath, the dark elf brother to the guy who owns the Drunken Huntsman.) Luckily he's not important when it comes to the actual dark brotherhood plot line, so I can just not kill him. Sadly I can't sell shit to him anymore.

Also, I'm finding I'm....lawful good unless you piss me off. Maybe Chaotic good. Basically, I will avoid killing you if I can, I will run, I will pay my bounty as opposed to fight, ect...but if the game glitches and they refuse to offer me the chance to pay my bounty, like they did in MArkath...you all die. I sat there for half an hour killing each and every guard in Markath, becuase the game glitched, and I somehow got away with it. Upgraded my dstruction magic twice, one-handed thrice, and even my restoration. Was a lot of fun....and I got away with it by going to jail and escaping!

I know they're just digital 0's and 1's, but I can't kill people if they didn't do shit to me.

Except with Grand Theft auto. bitches be wearing targets on their face in liberty city.



My Console Library:

PS5, Switch, XSX

PS4, PS3, PS2, PS1, WiiU, Wii, GCN, N64 SNES, XBO, 360

3DS, DS, GBA, Vita, PSP, Android

I'm the good guy, Even though it's a videogame, my conscience still kicks in so it's basically the decision I was good.

Except for KOTOR for some reason I don't feel bad about being the bad guy.



*Looks at total Skyrim Bounty of 39050*
I'm a good guy just don't walk into my character...
