Do you ever do things for the sake of playing the character?

I recently acquired through a main storyline quest (trying to be as spoiler free as possible here, I assume those who are 10-15 hours tops will know the one I'm talking about) quite a lot of red lyrium... 

I destroyed it all in the inventory screen. I probably could have sold it, used it for crafting, etc.. but I have yet to see an RP justification for doing so. 

Anybody else do things like this?

Yeah, I've kept characters equipped with weapons and armor that's weaker than other things I've found just because it makes sense from a character point of view for them to keep using them. (Before the final mission, I'm hoping to make everyone a shiny new set of stuff that suits them, though.)

Um, well, I did the opposite and immediately felt really, really bad.

 

This is in spoilers. It's about a quest you do in the Exalted Plains.

My Inquisitor is Dalish. A Keeper of a local Dalish clan asked her to get rid of some spirits at a nearby elven burial ground. She did so, but she noticed there was a crypt that was locked. Now, knowing in a metagaming sense that there could be valuable loot and whatnot in the crypt, I reluctantly had my Inquisitor start busting up the elven graves to assemble the pieces of the key to unlock the crypt. There ended up being one of those mosaic pieces inside and some other nice loot so it wasn't for nothing. But when I go back to the Dalish camp, the Keeper tells me he is disappointed, because he had hunters follow the Inquisitor, and he knows my Quizzie desecrated an elven burial ground. He's especially disappointed since my Quizzie is one of the People. Oh God, I felt so damn guilty, and it's definitely not something my character would ever do from an RP perspective, but me the player wanted to know what was in that damn crypt! I'm just gonna pretend like that did not happen.... I've learned my lesson though. No more doing things that go against my character, even if I miss out on some valuable stuff.

In Fallout 3 I carried around an untarnished gnome I stole found. I could've sold it, probably should've at one point to be able to afford ammo, but I didn't. My in game reason was that all the dangers and radiation in the waste made my lone wanderer insane and considered the gnome to be his last friend in an unfriendly world. I only lost him when I had to fire him out of cannon to fend off an army of fire spitting ants. Naturally my character went completely bad karma, he started murdering random people, stealing everything and even blew up megaton.

From a metagaming perspective, none of this makes any sense on why to do it, but it was in the character I set up for my current lone wanderer.
