Good or Evil?

my question is do you like to play as the good side or the bad side.

for example in c&c: to play as NOD(evil) or GDI(good)

another example in overlord: helping or destroying..

well you get the point....

The idea of good and evil makes very little sense to me. I play the character, faction or group that I feel that I can relate the most to, or I simply play what I feel like.

Very, very little sense, but, since Evil sides tend to be a bunch of undergeared ret*rds that come in masses and have only 1 tactic that consists of running over the enemy with everything they got, luv them.

So it realy comes down to the game itself but, in the rule evil units are weaker, but come in masses. Win.

KoTOR ....always play as the dark side

Well, in a lot of games where you have to choose good alignment or evil alignment the classes that fall under each aren't well balanced. So, I will go with whichever one has the better spells or attacks.

But, in most other cases I really don't care. I will just go with whatever.

The side/path that encapulates balance.

a better example than C&C (although i love that series) are morality RPG's such as Fable, Knights of the Old Republic, Jade Empire, and the strategy/sim Black & White.

In the RPGs listed above, playing Good is usually more challenging as in you have to do extra stuff or go the extra mile to please others to ultimately get what you need/want. While playing Evil you can just TAKE what you need/want by means of force.

evil, unless you can do all the fun things on the good side, like stronghold :twisted:

edit:

The best game to really look at for good or evil would be Black& White 1 or 2 , if gives you complete control of wether you want to be good or bad. You can help your villagers, by giving them food, lumber homes, or you can throw your villagers light them on fire let them starve, drop a rock on them or there homes. As you change to either good or evil your buildings and your pet creature will also change to accomidate for it. I like the evil more options.solidbond1

yeah, it's really cool to see you giant gorilla eating and pooping on people isn't it? :twisted:

Whenever I can I tend to play neutral because this usually gives you the most advantages. I just do whatever benefits me the most. If I need to slay some innocent people to complete my mission, so be it. If I need to safe some innocent prisoners, that's fine with me. As long as I get paid or I get some other advantage. When you are neutral you get the advantages of being good and evil at the same time. But you do not get the weaknesses.

I hate games that only focus on the good and/or evil. Maybe I don't want to safe the world, but maybe I don't want to destroy it either. Ever thought about that, game developers? Well, usually I end up saving the world anyway because when it gets blown up or enslaved by evil forces, it doesn't benefit me very well. I also hate games that give the good and evil people huge bonusses, while leaving the neutral people very weak.

then the idea makes perfect sense. Maybe they dont need to be so clearly distinguished as good and evil, but if youre relating yourself to a certain faction, it helps if there are the "cool evil dudes that kill without remorse" or the "rightous goodguys disposing of the badguys".

I myself prefer evil. No matter how many times I go back to KOTOR 1 or 2, I always end up dark sided. Its just cool turning your companoions evil as well
