The other way around, while you can even choose to roleplay a 'good guy' on the Imperial side, the social structure, polluted surroundings and general misery of people around you makes me feel so depressed that I can't bear to play there all the time. Even on the 'good' Republic side, there are times that I play a not totally light sided character, and then there's always that slight hesitation before I dare press the dark side button. This is the reason I play the Republic side in SWTOR, even though the Imperial side has many much better-looking cosmetics (!).

Playing evil makes me feel conflicted, and I can bear it only for so long. To be honest, I myself rarely play a second, 'evil' playthrough. The first time around mattered than anything else.' Somehow, we always end up playing the good guy in my first playthrough. As he put it eloquently: ' On the second (or further) playthrough then I go through the evil path.īut by then it is more a sadistic experiment to see how much my choices I was talking about it the other day with Rakuno, and we both seem to be of the type of player that gets a headache when trying to play the evil guy in our first playthrough of a game. I'm also already so light-sided that I'm almost floating around.
