What kind of player do you like playing as in a video game?

[ShadowYoshi294]

I'm used to playing as the typical hero in a game because I play games where, well, you're the hero.

Out of the poll, I choose a normal person caught into a rather unlikely situation. Even though there's only 1 or 2 games I played where that happens.

The Jungler

[masterockets]

A player driven by good intentions but meddling in affairs he should not be in
also he always gets the bad ending, no matter how much good he has done

[BlockoCrafter]

I like being the hero, it motivates me to play really good.

[zackin5]

In RPG's I tend to do good things first play though.

Second play though I try to be evil but wind up doing all the nice stuff with a tidbit of evil thrown in.

Third and beyond it's just all Shenanigans McMuffins

Depending on the title and genera of the game.

Saints row 1-3 - A mischievous trickster with too much power to care for anyone but his team of ninjas.

Red Dead Redemption - A brutal murderer who kills all who approach him.

Gta IV - A stealthy black bike helmet wearing hero who helps other people from the free killers via a sniper and a vast knowledge on how to get on all the roofs in the game.

I like Half-Life because Gordon was just an average Scientist (well, not average in because he knew how to correctly use a gun) who got in the middle of the H.E.C.U. and Aliens, and has to do all of these puzzles in a ginormous complex underground.

what.
he wasn't just an average scientist, he worked at black loving mesa

[Dissolve]

An example for the top one would be God of War.

Normal people are best because it's at least somewhat believable I guess.

at the beginning of hl1 it says over the loudspeaker that they are in need of what ever job gordon does, i think its a theoretical physicist. not to mention they trust him with handling highly dangerous and experimental equipment.
