It's like it actually discourages moral choices. Also I'm not a big fan of the whole good/evil setting, the world is full of different shades of gray.

Needless to say, where's my Witcher 2?

I do most of the time (and yes, I'm a guy). I'd rather look at a girl than a guy for 40+ hours after all.

As for the OP, I'm pretty much always a good guy. It's a bit of a design flaw in RPGs that there tend to be more material rewards for being good than evil. I like the approach taken in the Dragon Age games though where there's no morality meter.

Dragon Age was also good for dialogue choices. Often there is at least 5 choices that diverge into even more choice. This let's you create the character you want. Much better than Mass Effect where your choices are Goody-goody who always listens to authority and racist *******.

The problem with the red/blue morality choices of Mass Effect and games like it is that really hard moral decisions don't have a clear good or bad answer.

In Mass Effect 2 (spoilers)
Spoiler:
the genophage is a good example. It makes almost an entire race sterile, but it's to keep that race from rampaging across the galaxy. There is no easy answer. But because of red/blue choice, your decision is already made for you depending on which side you're trying to max out.

I also don't know how to make a poll.

I've had a couple ideas in the past that I thought would make interesting polls but I never followed through because I am under the impression that you have to make an OP and then somehow add a poll instead of being able to construct them at the same time.

I'm actually replaying ME2 and playing more as a renegade (although I don't always pick the renegade options). I'm actually finding the renegade speeches to be much more entertaining then the good speeches. I still cant bring myself to always pick the renegade/dick head options especially when doing my recruiting and loyalty missions.

The option is at the bottom of the new thread page. In the additional options area right bellow the submit reply area.

actually in WOW believe or not, horde is the good side, alliance may look good, but they are in fact evil. blizzard games favor the ugly yet good races (orcs).

Actually the Horde are bunch of drooling, savage, ugly, evil-doers that enjoy cannibalism as an in-game activity.

Evil, pretty much every time even when it's better for your character to be good. You are forced to be good in most games where you don't even have an option and I find evil to be more enjoyable unless they completely butcher it.

Good in Single player because in a lot of game the best looking gear is good. That and the evil route with most games tend to feel highly superficial and your evil actions somehow end up good anyway. Even if you go uber evil all the way somehow something good happens (see KOTOR, Mass Effect and Fable)

Evil in multi because it tends to attract a certain personality type that's pretty good at video games. At least it was that way in EQ and WoW.
