I don't think theres just a yes or no answer to this question, personally I play games like Fallout 3 generally to have fun but I always like being a good character the first time, then a bad, then finally something in between because I like to see the vast differences there are between good/evil and then the third time is generally my real play through where I just do what I want. I think many people do the same.

Not particualy, it just gives you a "What-if" scenario. If you can't be evil in real life, it helps to let your anger and/or evil out on virtual characters, as you would never do it in real-life.

Not necessarily, though there probably is a correlation. It is probably affected by other personality traits as well. I always play the good character as well, because I feel like those choices are the ones I would make. However, maybe I'm just projecting too much of myself into the game. Someone else may be able to play the bad guy just for fun, even though they themselves are decent. They might just not attach too much of themselves to the game. Personally, I'm so bad about always playing the good guy, that I was even nice in Overlord! Haha.

It depends. If you really enjoy any cruel thing you do inside the game, maybe you should try to get some help and that also goes for movies and other medias.

But if you only are having fun playing the role of a bad guy, that's ok

It probably does. I usually try to play both ways, but I'm always good the first time through. I guess that says I like to be the hero, but I'm also thorough.
