Do you have morals/ethics when you play videogames?

Sounds ****ed up but that's how I am.

Guess that's how I am as well except I don't intend to go overboard with the intensity of a game. When I play MoH Allied Assult, I have that heroic feeling I get when ever I hear the main title and when I play I don't feel like "Die! you German bastard! Die!".

I have a feeling of the bigger picture when I pull the trigger ingame; that killing the soilders is nessasary on the road rid the world of Axis oppression.

When I play Deus ex, I always try to go none leathle with NSF in the beginning and UNATCO troops when I turn on them but I usually don't take any chances with MJ12 troops, espcally the Commandos.

Sounds normal. In most games (e.g. Fallout, Skyrim), my characters fall under the category of "does good things, but is rude to people while doing so, and takes their vengeance extremely seriously if wronged". On the other hand, I can still play the odd 'evil' or 'lawful good' character, or a game like GTA and fit into the typical character there if I want - those just aren't preferred styles.

I guess it depends... not being a real big gamer, I'll play a racing game here and there, if you play fair i play fair... if not ill make you spin out or do what i can to piss you off...

not really moral ethnics there, but ill play a random thing of GTA at my buddies house when I'm bored, and I wont like shoot at cops whatever, because i feel bad if i do, but now if I'm in a car with grenades, RPGs, or whatever, I'll make the city explode and laugh because explosions are f'ing awesome... try and see how much chaos or how many cars i can get to blow up on one city block... I'll try and pick fights with gangsters and thugs, if they just try to beat me up ill stab/beat them to an inch of their life, or till their dead... if you pull out a gun don't expect people to even identify your dental records... just lines like that

If somebody has an annoying voice (or annoying in general) then usually their head is coming off otherwise I'm generally pretty good with games.

There are a whole lot of people like that in games. Anyone remember those annoying kids in Fable?
They used to always yell out "Hero" and crowd around when I was gambling in the pub, in the dead of night.

I'm more of an adaptable gamer. I can fit into the persona of the main character in action-adventure series such as Thief, Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia and Legend of Zelda but I can let my own personality show in RPG games such as Morrowind and Fallout 3. Normally in RPGs I tend to collect as much loot/supplies as possible and try to explore every little cave and landmark and see if I can help anyone if I come across them in my travels.

Well that's good. Just recently I was playing Star Trek Online and had to do this mission with a ferengi woman in it. She had the most annoying voice and moaned constantly about how I wasn't getting parts for her ship, then she betrayed me. When it came to the point where I had a choice to shoot her or The Dominion she was a goner.

Well if she betrays you, what are you going to do?
Reminds me of quite a few NPCs in Morrowind and Oblivion. If people turn against you and in a worse case scenario, try to kill you then you have to protect yourself.

Played GTA once, spent the whole time trying to drive like the normal cars.

You're a horrible person.

When I played GTA I jumped around on a roof of a car and it exploded
