Whoah, you feel guilty for exploiting a bunch of pixels.... well, to each his own....
But anyways... I've always been dark, as in ALWAYS. One time, I tried to play light side, but I found there weren't any good light powers (except maybe heal, and burst of speed). I managed to get to Nar Shadaa, and then I was like "whoah, why did I ever even consider doing this?" and went back to my plunderous ways. Besides, good luck to have some pansy self-righteous Jedi with a base strength of 32 :D

I always play Light because
a) Yes, I feel guilty when I throw away an old candy wrapper, let alone bully a bunch of pixels depicting a human (or any other sentient) face. I just don't find evil very fun.
b) I don't feel crippled about powers, the best (in my opinion) are neutral, and what's a little penalty for using Shock?
c) I adore long dialogues.
d) Everybody's so happy in the end, and
e) It's just so damn fulfilling!

:) And it does wonders to your ego.

If you're thinking of the characters as just a bunch of pixels, then you're not immersed in the game. In which case, why play at all?

Looks like most people do light side, as do I. I find myself feeling grimy and depressed playing the dark side, which means it's no fun.

I was just saying that for the people who think it's weird to feel guilty about playing Dark Side, since it's all "just a bunch of pixels."

Believe me, I don't feel that way about any game, otherwise, as you said, I wouldn't be playing at all. ;)

I generally prefer the Lightside. Neutral really isn't accounted for in the game, you get stuck playing powers of either side at increased cost because you haven't specialised :rolleyes: .
I try Dark occasionly, but it's more foreign to me :p

People say it makes them depressed to play dark side... hell i am depressed i tried to play lightside once, and oops ther go people jumping of ledges, this one idiot fell on my lightsaber 4 times ina row and then he died. the only time i ever finished light side was by accident in KOTOR1 i din know that killing jolee and juhani at the ratakatyakndnslkhnlknhdmfg (sp?) temple was a possibillity but once i did, i feel bad to admit it but i actually enjoyed watching Hanharr (or was this one zalbarr?) killing that anooying twi'lek my only regret was that i couldnt do it myself oh and my other only regret was that i could sod**ize carth with lightsaber.... im sick what can i say.

in both games I played light. First.
Yes, there must be something of feeling "guilty" but also there is more about your companions.
Being dark means you should USE them to accomplish your missions, and if you do they shoul leave you or even start fighting with you. and what we see?
Sometimes they just follow you like bunch of mindless sheep.
Then in my opinion, game creators would have to prepare actually two different games in one pack if they want to be consistent with Dark and Light sides.

That was my reasoning for light.
And on the other hand....the Force cannot be dark or light: it's the way you USE it, isn't it?
(BTW: WHO said that?)

I've played it 5 or 6 times through LS. Tried DS, but it was too much of a conflict with how I am.

Kyle Katarn said that to Jaden Korr in Jedi Academy at the start of the training mission.

For me I always wind up playing light side. I have tried to be evil a couple of times but it never really worked out, despite how much fun it can be to talk with HK-47.

This is the same with most games where you can choose your alignment, i.e. KOTOR1, Jedi academy etc

In reply to Alien_Newborn: My "pansy self-righteous Jedi with a base strength of" 20 took out sion with just one round of combat for each little sparing match we had, in difficult.
