Good guy, Though I have never played as a baddy...
I could never bring myself to kill kids and sell slaves, or killing innocents in general...
I think that I incorporate some of my morals into my character when I play Fallout...
I play as a good character, but I dont always go by the rules, and play a Paladin (do gooder) type chracter, for example I may join one of the more bastardish families, or maybe kill the odd caravan, nothing really evil.
I guess I am just too nice...

RE: my poll

My acts in the game is reflecting what is ethicly and morally correct.
For an example; Help the Deathclaws, help Mrs. Buckner to find the missing trapper, help the slaves being held by Metzger and so on.
 
RE: my poll

I enjoyed both. To me, playing an evil character (as dicussed in another thread here) was a fun change. Some of the dialogue options for the evil character were a lot more interesting. The options tend to get a lot more insulting and violent, and are often more entertaining. Also, some of the end-game stuff is more interesting.
Plus, as pointed out in other threads, you don't just have to whack everybody. I had my evil female character do some "good" stuff like kill off the Mordinos, because I figured she wouldn't like the way they treated women. Also, I had her aim for the groin a lot. :)







**SPOILER**

I preferred the "evil ending" for Vault City. Serves those bastards right. :) (After you blow the reactor, the radiation forces Vault City to move to NCR). Also, when I went back to New Reno after finishing the game, the dialogue options with Ms. Kitty were great. My female character said something like "Of course I'm back, because I'm the baddest bitch in all the wastes"

I usually play the extremely good softy type (I let fred get away with only paying $50 of the $200 the first time I played withought knowing he would pay me back 10x later), not stealing, no killing caravans, etc. I Just can't bring myself to play evil, it's repellant to me. I occasionally play an enforcer type, going in and whacking all the evil bastards, I was rather pissed when I got bounty hunters after me playing a "good" character who wiped out the nasty little buggers in the den. I finnally convinced myself to play evil just as a study of what you could do as evil, it's fairly interesting.

Yes, it's interesting and fun. I sometimes play with 1 charisma, everyone are disgusted by me, so i just play offended and blow their brains out :-)

See, that's why I like doing it. They psychology of evil is pretty interesting. I think it really stretches your roleplaying abilities to play someone completely oppisite of yourself. I think it helps that I've played Pen N Paper RPGs for a long time before ever starting Fallout. I've played evil characters in various RPGs before, and it can be a real challange.

RE: poll

That's funny, I'm playing a good "dirty harry" (kills ALL the bad guys, except for kids) character right now with 2 cha (gifted or it would have been 1) no body hates me, the only difference I've seen is of course I can only have one NPC. NPC's just get in the way of your bullets anyway. And no one will sleep with me :( - I couldn't even go on a date with the dull nurse in VC.

The funny thing is I GM in PNP games alot, there I'm playing all the bad guys, but that doesn't bother me, when I try to play a bad guy as a player it bothers me, but I can see how someone could go bad, I just justify everything I'm doing that's bad, probably more typical of a Real Life (tm god) bad person. "hey I needed the money, Hey he's stupid and doesn't deserve his cows. Hey these loosers shoulda died in the war, I'm just setting it right. Slavery was the basis of the greatest nations in history. Asshole won't sell to me, I'll teach him a leason."

On another note you Lynette haters, if you first talk to her after becoming a citizen she's actually fairly personable.

YOU CAN SIMPLY PLAY BOTH

play the game any way you want it, and after you pass it, ride around the map killing every single thing in every single town.

then sit down and have a smoke
 
hey evil and low intelligence is hard

I like evil a lot better. Pity there are a lot less evil missions than good ones. Same thing with stupid characters. When u have stupid and evil, experience is mad hard to get. With gifted, u only get 2 skills points per intelligence, making it hard for me to kill anyone that hates me. very challenging. It took me forecer to get to level 12, which i doubled by weapon skill by tagging it. Try it sometime, it's challenging.

Yeah, but that's not really roleplaying. That's just whacking people. I tend to treat my Fallout characters just like I do characters in a Pen N Paper Roleplaying game. I come up with a motivation for a character, and decide how they would react. To really play evil, you need to do it from the beginning. Decide why your character is like that, and decide how your character would react. Ok, I'm probably putting too much into a video game, but hey, it makes it more enjoyable to me.

For instance: One of my characters, Katerina, was a totally evil bi#@h. She sold Sulik into slavery, because he was an idiot (she had a 9 INT), and scared Torr, because he was also an idiot. She wiped out the entire Wright clan because on person spit on her boot, but also wiped out the Mordinos because of their attitudes towards women. She also tended to attack people in the groin, just for amusement.
