    I always try to be good, then end up getting bored and doing whatever i want.. We'll see if being good is fun I'll probably do that.

    I still don't see how people can play as good guys the whole game.  i've tried this before and i just end up getting really bored and running off to rape and pillage.

    Unlike most people here, I plan as playing as a rational, sane human. I'll be an opportunist with a strong moral code.

    I try and play how I would play if I was that character in that situation in real life. Obviously I have never been a cowboy, so my decisions won't be 100% accurate.

    I always play the good character first and on my second play through I will play a bad guy. In free roam though with my buddies there is no telling what is going to happen.

    Probably both as that is what makes games with the option fun but first I have to play through it as a bad guy.  The wild west was meant to be bad.

    I figure I'll play it 'neutral'. As in, I'll play it off instinct. That way, I don't feel like I've ever truly fucked up by doing things the 'wrong' way (Good while playing bad, bad while playing good). It's the wild west, that's how it's meant to be played, really. It's a time where a man has to do what he has to do to get the job done. You can't base your decisions solely on morality, but at the same time you can't give up what makes you human. Sure, it's a time of black and white, but it's also a time of great lawless opportunity. Only thing I dislike about RDR from what I've heard, though, is the time period. I hope the next in the series goes back to the routes of the western tale, and tells a true wild west story, rather than an American 'coming of age' story.

    Yeah, I have trouble playing as a bad guy, even if I've already beaten the game as a good guy. I know it's a game, but even so I just don't like tearing through innocents.
     
    I might trace it back to when GTA 3: Vice City came out back in college and a douche bag from down the hall kept coming to my room and playing my copy. All he would do is put on tank mode and god mode and just blow people away while eating goldfish crackers. It really started to disturbed me how much joy he got out of doing that. I finally took away my disc and told him to burn in hell.
     
    He now works for the Republican Party of Minnesota... I guess I got my wish.

    I'll approach every situation like I would in real life.  Which is generally very vengeful, just, or opportunistic.

    I will start out as good because I always play as a good character first and then I'll probably play as a bad person so I can see some of the differences.

    I make the decisions I think are right. I usually end up being a white knight but I have brutally slaughtered small villages before for vengeance.

    Well you gotta remember, in this game you can get a bounty on your head.  So if you're bad, you better have a lot of ammo.  I'm going to be good first time around, then maybe turn bad on a separate save, or start a new game.

    I'm going to play the game just doing what I want to do. Like, I'll try to be a good guy but at least ONCE I want to burn down a village (which apparently seems possible in the game) or rob some stores. Or, alternatively like some said earlier in the thread, I'll capture bunches of criminals and set them free then hunt them down (though hunting them down may be a problem, not sure how the game could deal with that).

    I'll play as a good guy, but sometimes after I save, like in GTA games, I'll go on a rampage. After I finish the game, we'll see if I go back in as a bad guy.

    I tried playing as a bad guy in Fallout 3 and I just couldn't do it. I will try my hardest to play as a bad guy in this game cause it seems like its alot more fun.
