discussion Which route do you take first the bad one or the good one with your main character?(if the game has one)

Generally go good first, because usually there is more content on those paths. Additionally, I think games (not just porn games) struggle to make the bad bath genuinely tempting or rewarding for people to play.

Sexually, I am drawn more to the dark path, but game play wise I actually tend to lean towards the light path most of the time and then go back through and a full dark playthrough.

unless theres incentive to see bad ends, like extra scenes, i almost always go for good. anything i miss can be cheesed later

Depends on the setting/plot. When the world is pretty much the MC's oyster it's more fun to be selfish, when the world is harsh it's fun to be the Good Guy where it isn't easy.

I usually make individual choices based on wherever my schizophrenia is pointing that day.

 

[Malice]

Good route mostly but it depends on characters build(not mc, others) bitchy ones get nasty treatment

 

[Crime Meat]

I'm not going to commit to playing the same game multiple times without already knowing I like it. I'll pick the choices that don't make me think my character is a giant douche, if available, and call it good.

 

[traveler3]

Bad and good mean a lot of different things in different games. So my choices vary depending on the game.

 

[TheBestUserEve]

I play the bad route first and the good route never.

 

[kremtoa]

Good route

 

[asfbordood]

Good route first

 

[fuzzi_weezil]

I'll usually do the "love" path first and the "corruption" path on a replay. If there's a "dark" path I tend not to play it.

 

[gfryy]

It depends on the game, but usually go to the dark side.

 

[TMc4ll1st3r]

I usually try to understand the base story of the game, if the game by default has a dark theme I go for the bad route, but if the story is trying to make it look happy then I do the good one

 

[napo]

first dark path, but play both

 

[Nerisylie]

I always do the bad route first I’ll play the good route after

 

[dirtygamer12]

good route first, then if game's good bad route, sometimes just unlock gallery to see the bad scenes

 

[ketaminio]

always the good one, and then just out of curiosity i play the bad one. otherwise never the bad one

 

[Coran]

In my first playthroughs I've realized a pattern where I lean more good the more characters I perceive as younger than myself and more bad when older. I also prefer to pursue and 'fail-state' endings/options first.

I prefer shifting from good to bad to show the nuance. It’s all about context and feel. Take the MC: he could be a 'good hero' in the eyes of his neglected daughter, while remaining a total villain to her mother or grandmother.
