I blame it on the cat!

When I make a bad decision, I try to overcome the situation, no matter how hard it is. If I fail, then I'd not try to do that decision again.

I usually make decisions by thinking "Is it rewarding?" If it doesn't really reward you with something that good, I don't try to do it.

If I make a bad decision, I usually just go with it if I am playing singleplayer... But if it will effect multiplayer, I will attempt to go back and fix it as best I can.

Usually, bad decisions are because I don't research what the "good choice" in games would be. I just play it with no knowledge about what is coming up next. So naturally, because I know nothing, I will sometimes make terrible mistakes.

When I play games I make decisions with complete disregard to consequences.
My main objective is to just have as much fun as possible, and that usually includes things like completely destroying every living thing within a town.

Game like Dark Souls I often times find myself throwing important characters off a cliff, killing them off permanently. It's pretty great.

Yeah, I always save before doing things, and see every possible outcome before I make my decision. Sometimes, if I'm trying to play the game a little more legitimately, I'll make my choice before seeing what's going to actually happen, then go back and see all the other outcomes, but still go with the first decision I made, whether I like it best or not.

I'm very risk averse when it comes to stuff like this, so if I can save at every opportunity, I will do so. If I then proceed to screw up the game royally due to bad decision-making on my part, the errors are very easy to fix because of my tendency to save the game at every conceivably point in time!

When I have the chance to, I'm a scumbag and often simply keep reloading until I get an outcome I deem acceptable. On the plus side, it's a great way to learn how to manage situations optimally, or at least somewhat better. Which will eventually lead to less reloading.
In games that don't allow this, I will often just ragequit. Pretty much the only thing in existence I am a perfectionist about is not dying/losing too many units in video games, so obviously I get frustrated easily here.

It really depends on the game for me. For PMD the first time, I got halfway through the game and couldn't beat a boss and would thus start over... And I did this like five or six times XD. But other than that i just stick with my original choices throughout the game. I usually change after I beat it and start over tho.
