So what is your main character's outlook

Edit: tweaked neutral to fit better

I can't really answer. I have played many characters. All of them have had different alignments.

Most of my characters end up a good natured characters.

Neutral is selfish and self centered? Or am I reading that wrong.

Neutral I guess. I go for anti heroes.

In the grand scheme of things, yes. They are not good or evil, their actions tend to mainly be for themselves in some way. A good person will help without reward, an evil person will kill without reward/reason. A neutral person is more mercenary in outlook.. aka what do I get out of this. They will do good or evil, as long as the reward suits them (some can lean more towards good, some towards evil in what limits they have.. but in the end they all require a carrot on a stick to get them to do something)

I figured neutral to be sometimes good, sometimes bad, and willing to do bad things to achieve good. Could also be your mercenary thing, but basically neutral is "grey".

Neutral I only care about myself not the fame.

I voted Neutral because I have had a lot of evil and a lot of good characters.

Pretty much, doing evil for good means they kill an innocent in order to achieve a goal that benefits them (one way or another), it's the end that matters more than the good/evil really.

To me neutral always sees the world in shades of grey, and makes choices based on what they feel will accomplish their goals and benefit them the most.

PS: most of mine fall into the last category...

i agree with the Nord in this case

My Redguard leans towards heroic evil. He is always loyal to Ruptga but doesn't have many skills outside of assassination and combat so therefore has no other ways to make money apart from the DB, TG and Companions. He also wants lots of power and influence.

My Nord paladin is obviously good. He wants to rid Skyrim of evil and Imperial influence to great a prosperous and safe homeland for his fellow Nords.

I guess I'm going to have to go the neutral route. I have good characters and evil ones and some fence sitters!

Most of my characters don't worry about Morals, more what is 'decent' or 'shady' compared to good or evil. My main character is pretty grey but I do have some characters that are Moral or not and I usually go with evil overlord lol.

all because i have different characters but i preffer to be a good guy

Heroic Evil.

Don't agonize, just do it!

My favorite and most-played character is of the Paladin archetype, and another is Chaotic Neutral, but I've made many more murderous assassins, so had to go with Evil.

I can't bring myself to go full-blown Chaotic Evil though. No murder sprees of innocent civilians.

You basically said that all neutral characters won't do their jobs without being given a carrot, which is wrong. You can't narrow that (or any other) alignment down to a single behaviour pattern like that.

Anyway, my characters are either neutral good or true neutral, and very rarely chaotic neutral. I don't do any kind of evil since I just can't roleplay an evil character, can't seem to get into it too deep and it just turns up to be boring casual gaming, or when playing a character class like a necromancer, I end up turning only dead bandits up and leave civilians alone which then makes me not so evil anymore.

I will chicken out as well and take this answer. I cannot really imagine my original character as a psychotic chipmunk anyway, and all my characters are different.

Neutral, either chaotic or good neutral usually. Live by your own lights and damn the rest.

I tend to play good characters, even for the ones that joined assassination guilds or thieves guilds they tend to be neutral or as good as they can be despite their profession.

Somewhere between neutral and heroic evil. I tend to do the naughty things my "enemy" is doing themselves. And then beating them at their own game. And it feels good. As long as you don't get in the way of my research and opportunistic endeavors, I'll leave you alone. "Bad" people or generally, those who can adequately defend themselves are fair game for my experiments and what-not. Especially rival conjurers and necromancers.

Usually Chaotic Good to Lawful Netural.

Lawful good!

This one

My latest character, granted its been a while, was very similar to my first playthrough. Heavy armored crusader, a do-gooder (as far as they go, skyrim's mood is a bit grey).

And then suddenly I play thieves and barbarians that are go allout chaotic neutral. They're in it to win it; forget the rules!

I always try to play true neutral in game, wish makes TES one of my favorites. No BS morality system to makes being true neutral impossible.
