I never play as the Empire in Star Wars Battlefront because it breaks my heart to shoot down a nice rebel pilot.

I LOVE YOU

Me too. My Fable characters always have glowing auras and halos. I always play light and my husband always play dark. Honestly, at this point I think he just does it to annoy me.

I have to say, the dark side is teh shitz!

Nothing like Force Storm and Force drain.

My Fable characters always look like that too. And lol, Dragon Age: Origins; I actually restarted the game because I had done something evil and honestly could not keep playing with that. It's like I'm incapable of doing evil stuff in games.
