Even if what you decided to do was good? Your good act is evil just because you did it for your own purposes?


As a way of life. It's an evil philosophy and it doesn't stop being evil just because once in a while you do something good.

Although, obviously it's possible to do good for selfish reasons - self-gratification, gloating rights, trying to impress people, trying to help people because you personally know and care for some of those afflicted, and so on, and I wouldn't consider that evil as such, in fact I expect this is what motivates most good people. But in those cases you're not doing what you want regardless of it being good or evil, you're just choosing to do good because you want to do good, even if it is for selfish reasons.
The first rule of being a ninja is "do no harm". Unless you intend to do harm, then do lots of harm.

My companions! Lend me thine vast expertise - 20/09/2011 03:56:19 PM 1096 Views
Hm. It depends on what you mean by "rewarded." - 20/09/2011 04:15:18 PM 800 Views
No, not quite - 20/09/2011 04:29:42 PM 728 Views
I don't think I know anything that matches what you want. - 20/09/2011 04:39:22 PM 698 Views

I thnk Fallout 3 gave you bonuses for being neutral. - 20/09/2011 04:52:11 PM 689 Views
That was the first that came to my mind, too. *NM* - 21/09/2011 09:46:11 AM 297 Views

Damn, I knew it! - 20/09/2011 05:11:25 PM 698 Views
"Netural" isn't about picking "good and evil" choices. - 20/09/2011 04:59:42 PM 707 Views
It'd be pretty difficult to specifically reward you for being a 'gray' character. (Two games) - 20/09/2011 05:02:28 PM 840 Views
Take Knights of the Old Republic, for example - 20/09/2011 05:08:04 PM 748 Views
That's not so much an alignment as just metagaming the system. - 20/09/2011 09:27:49 PM 707 Views
thank you for phrasing that better than me *NM* - 20/09/2011 11:11:54 PM 305 Views
Maybe I didn't explain right - 20/09/2011 11:19:51 PM 642 Views
I'd say that's evil. - 21/09/2011 03:00:32 AM 815 Views
of course, then you get into question of whether actions like that example are evil - 21/09/2011 04:03:03 AM 696 Views
Questions of morality are the great fun of philosophy . - 21/09/2011 05:24:50 AM 654 Views

That's actually a pretty narrow view of Neutral when it comes to Alignment or Morality. - 21/09/2011 02:19:34 PM 692 Views
I thought I had allowed for what you said. - 21/09/2011 04:33:30 PM 626 Views
It's not a neutral outlook - 21/09/2011 06:27:27 PM 752 Views
See, what you're talking about IS in fact considered EVIL. - 21/09/2011 08:33:30 PM 690 Views
You might want to try The Witcher series. - 21/09/2011 05:16:05 AM 674 Views
I just played the first one... - 21/09/2011 02:14:13 PM 722 Views
Grey decisions are good but... - 21/09/2011 06:19:04 PM 768 Views
they don't reward it because, for the most part, they don't want you taking a middle ground. - 21/09/2011 07:10:48 PM 643 Views
Well that's just stupid. Tired of picking the 2 sides over and over *NM* - 21/09/2011 08:02:11 PM 341 Views
Neutrality is often boring or selfish. Good stories seldom have truly neutral protagonists. *NM* - 22/09/2011 06:27:05 PM 321 Views
Are you kidding? - 22/09/2011 06:54:19 PM 719 Views
That's chaotic good, not neutral. *NM* - 22/09/2011 10:36:28 PM 332 Views
I have an on-topic comment as well as a general rant on game morality systems. - 21/09/2011 06:43:21 PM 852 Views
if they wanted to make the conversation mechanics more complicated... - 21/09/2011 07:14:21 PM 770 Views
I don't care if it's complicated so long as it's clear. - 22/09/2011 08:27:46 PM 654 Views
I agree with this, actually. *NM* - 22/09/2011 09:17:23 PM 334 Views
I agree with that, too. *NM* - 22/09/2011 10:38:15 PM 319 Views
