    Hero, but I'm not opposed to stealing an extra buck or two with my mask on.

    I generally go hero until the main plot is done, then turn uber evil once I start messing around.
     
    With this though I would definitely advise goody the first time through though as the dialogue doesn't change if your evil.

    As always middle but more towards good, basically what I'd do if I were Marston.  Attacking a hooker in the street with a fucking knife?  You're too psyco to control fuck the lasso you're getting blasted.  Horse thief? Hogtied and laughed at.

    I agree with Yani, I enjoy being Good during the play through as sometimes it makes the game more challenging, but after the fact, Im your worst nightmare =P

    I think being bad does not make sense in the story at all, and was kind of ruining the game for me... so im good now.

    The only 'bad' thing I've done is kill a man who wanted 200 dollars, which I didn't have. I intend to be good, meting out justice wherever I go.

    Well I guess I'm considered a hero and what not in the game, full honor. But I mean.. that's in town. I'm a kind of a dick out in the wilderness where there aren't many witnesses. If there's those ladies that say "Oh help me" and you know it's a trap, I usually just shoot the bandits before they emerge, then shoot the lady, or hogtie her and let her off near a cliff or train track.  
     
    Oh and when fighting people on horseback, I barely ever shoot them, I'll shoot their horses. I am the anti-christ for horses.

    I'm going good guy all the way, partly because I can't help playing a boy scout in every game with a good/evil dichotomy but also in this case because it seems to better fit Marston's reformed-outlaw persona. The game world is rich enough that you want to sort of roleplay as a believable character within it.

    Agreed.  Ever since Fable 2, I started playing "bad guy" first.  Was going to in this game, but Marston's story is making me go "good guy".  Kudos to Rockstar for making me actually feel for the character and not just mindlessly kill for the hell of it.

    Mostly a hero, but there are some cases like getting ambushed by a group of bandits from the woman and ending up in me missing an animal I'm hunting where I killed the bandits and the woman. I had that deer in my sights you bastard.
