Why do people play moralfags in RPGs?
Does anyone else find this interesting? Does it make up some inadequacy or insecurity in their every day lives? Are they simply emotionally and intellectually undeveloped and immature? Are these people a way to make a quick buck from devs like Bioware who want to exploit their childish hero complex?
I just like the loot, man.
Because they can.. who gives a shit.
people will be people.
>Not Chaotic Neutral
KYS
>playing small minded, selfish and morally bankrupt characters
oh wait, this is Sup Forums.
>icewind dale
>implying your alignment matters outside of being locked out of few items
also being good character is usually just better in older RPG like fallout or bg2 because you're rewarded with experience and good items as opposed to being greedy fucker and getting useless gold
btw chaotic neutral > all for maximum freedom :^)
who fucking cares dipshit.
go ahead and play a chaotic retard in a game if you want.
>chaotic good
literally the most faggot alignment
Children tend to enjoy moral centric protagonists. It appeals to the moral policeman freshly instilled in their young brain. Older audiences tend to enjoy characters who are reflective of real people, characters who are morally ambiguous or at the very least are logically fleshed out.
Adults who cling to black and white heroes are essentially overgrown children. It is likely they own every silly piece of plastic Nintendo has spawned and think the WiiU is an innovation.
It's hard to create something but it's easy to destroy. Grow up edgelord.
the rewards are way better and you'll hardly have any negative repercussion from your acts if you play good
neutral players will absolutely do nothing but watch stuff happening
evil players will just have a huge sum of money from looting but that will be useless because you are hunted by the whole local militia in each towns
that's Lawful Good
hell all the Good alignments are gay
>the most faggot alignment
Sorry, that's chaotic neutral.
Lawful Good is respectable.
Lawful Evil is the way to go though.
Nice projecting
It's second close after chaotic good
True Neutral or Chaotic Evil
which one is harder to portray :^)
>Not serving with a stoic face and suppressing your emotions
>Not being Lawful Neutral
What's the best alignment to pick if you're feeling mischievous or devilish?
chaotic neutral
welcome to faggot city
chaotic neutral is the patricians taste, but true neutral is often as good
>Lawful Good is respectable.
Literally cuck mentality like all moralfags
>mischievous
Chaotic Neutral
>devilish
Chaotic evil
>This entire thread
Can you refute what he said?
It's much, much harder to be a good person.
Remember when Sup Forums despised this character before the reddit and tumblr invasion and suddenly moralfags were hip and cool?
Devils are lawful evil you fucking casual.
>caring about alignment
you are a child.
No, Akagi always got shit on.
>Not cleansing with extreme prejudice
>Not blabbering about justice and order to no end making both chaos- and evilfags buttblasted
>Devils are lawful evil you fucking casual
Yes but the term "devilish" doesn't mean "to be a tyrant of the netherworld".
No he didn't and it wasn't always him by a long shot
No Akagi, I don't.
yeah but that is not what people usually mean when they say "devilish". Id argue a devilish character is more chaotic neutral than evil.
All alignments suck, you can't shoehorn all the range of human behavior into 9 boxes.
It was alright for D&D because it just worked, but it shouldn't be the default goto solution for all games, that's just lazy.
>doing good things is bad
Careful kid, that edge is sharp.
Why the fuck would I play as an edgelord?
What game is this?
Does picking chaotic evil mean I can slaughter peasants and raise villages?
Korgan was complete bro
>plays an evil degenerate
>calls others mentally underdeveloped
Wew lad is this b8? There is nothing better than playing a crusader and going around purging filthy degenerates like you
hello r-eddit
>chaotic neutral
Literally "That guy" alignment.
It's easier to be a good person in a videogame than it is to be a good person in real life.
wew lads don't forget to go to church on Sunday
Icewind legend of Dale 2 and no you cant kill all of the peasants
Tips fedora.
Whoa, we have a brave Atheism+ activist here.
i think most people like lawful good because its extremely easy to roleplay as while doing a decent job at it, especially compared to things like chaotic neutral that often end in disaster.
Like you are paladin, you have your set of rules and you apply them literally, jobs done.
>I can't control my temper and emotions so I'll lash out at someone to prove how superior I am.
Bravo user. Bravo.
Don't worry we won't. Keep tipping that fedora degenerate
It beats being an edgy retard who lashes out at people in video games because of how little power they have in real life.
Most rpgs idea of evil is really awfully written, it basically stands on the same level as some cringeworthy fanfiction you'd call edgy these days. Old or new games, the evil choices are always ridiculous, playing as a neutral or a good character you atleast don't want to quit playing after exiting the conversation
>playing Pillars of Eternity
>they give you choices to be a dick
>doesn't really change much so you just pick the good options
i'll be helping people anyway, so why bother be rude to everyone
>people like different things
>call them childish, immature and dumb
You're a fucking spastic cunt. Kill yourself.
>I shouldn't be held accountable for my tastes, preferences and opinions
Need a safe space honey?
How do christians feel about playing priests of fantasy gods?
>muh moral relativism
Plato BTFO'd your sophist ass 2000+ years ago. Just stop my dude.
I simply find no sense of enjoyment in choosing the villainous option.
That being said, a lot of good choices in games are almost-comical goody-two-shoe types that I personally wouldn't fully agree with (e.g. being a pushover)
Says the edgelord.
nice meaningless buzzword buddy
>not being a mustache twirling chaotic evil guy
cucks
My problem is that I'm too nice. If only girls stopped going for the assholes... *sigh*
>buzzword
nice buzzwords there pal
Why do people play murderhobos in RPGs?
Does anyone else find this interesting? Does it make up some inadequacy or insecurity in their every day lives? Are they simply emotionally and intellectually undeveloped and immature? Are these people a way to make a quick buck from devs like Bethesda who want to exploit their violent tendencies?
It's not about being a hero, it's about making others and myself feel good
>mfw being lawful good, everything is boring and being strict stops you from taking interesting options and often times DM fucks with you by having evil invoke laws on you
>mfw lawful good means I can stop giving a fuck about law because I AM THE LAW, I AM ALL THAT IS GOOD and evil shall be purged no matter the cost and no matter the stakes. Lawful good dosnt mean lawful nice
>implying being that guy is a problem in a single-player game
I like Lawful Neutral
This. Especially I can't stand the autist sperging about GOD EMPRAH, heretics, holy wars and shit like that.
Jokes on you, I like going to church.
The songs are catchy and windows are actually nice looking at.
What the fuck are you even saying,
not giving a fuck about the law is the polar opposite of lawful, user. dredds "IM THE LAW" means that he is the personification of the law, which he applies to the letter. If he didnt give a fuck about the law he wouldnt be THE LAW anymore.
I mean stuff like this Sometimes you find these autists sperging in unrelated threads about PURGING THE HERETICS
>not picking Neutral Good
What the fuck is wrong with you.
Perhaps you're hanging around in too many furry threads.
Because most of the time developers can't write an interesting dilemma to save their lives so the easiest or most reasonable outcome is to be the hero
>Underage discovering people can have different taste: The Thread
>being the jrpg protagonist
thats like the most boring shit ever
>DM fucks with you by having evil invoke laws on you
Don't LG characters only have to obey the law is law is just and can basically can tell tyrants to fuck off with their bullshit?
I go every Sunday and holy day, where is a problem with that? My own choice, why it hurts you is beyond me.
Neutral Evil is the best
>play Icewind Dale 2
>finish a quest
>Paladin character talks with NPC who gives the reward
>THE PALADIN REFUSES TO ACCEPT IT
This user gets it.
Murderhobos are fun, when it's tabletop, or at least a one combat-heavy. No, really.
They are however the worst possible option in vidya, so yeah.
>Why do people play moralfags in RPGs?
i never do and I dont understand why most ppl do. It's lame as fuck
i either a controversial character or a straight up evil character
And the My Little JewJew faggots show up finally
Don't worry
There's more
Is that why nobody was ever able to refute him or even argue with him without spouting empty insults?
>capeshit
even worse, just fuck off back to Sup Forumsmblr
>plays evil edgemaster
LOL
FUCKING DUMB CUNT! How fucking immature and childish could you be? Fucking 4th grade loser. I bet you like cutting and linkin park.
LOL
Heres your you, autist.
Lawful Evil master race. Justice is blind and doesn't care about your feelings.
Not when you are the law, your more than just some law bouncer, you have to go fix that law
>always make a nominally amoral character but play it like a moralfag for maximum loot
>always choose evil party members because they're usually funnier and/or more interesting
Anyone else know this feel?
>LE
>Justice
???
>evil players will just have a huge sum of money from looting but that will be useless because you are hunted by the whole local militia in each towns
only if youre shit at the game
...
Yes
Am I gonna miss out on much if I play Pillars of Eternity and create my entire party rather than use the pre-made characters?
>not realistic, actions not founded in any reasonable human behavior, unbelievable, unrealistic, only one emotion (mahjong)
that sounds a lot like akagi
he was seriously the only based tripfag we ever had, he was right too because moralfags took over Sup Forums after he left
And yes.
