re: When you have an option in a game are you good or evil

But did you get the achievement for Finding Jesus as a Jew?

I hate how choices pigeonhole you into either "good" or "evil" black and white bullshite. It's particularly bothersome in Star Wars. I'm a sith. Doesn't mean I'm a psychopath. I hate how they won't let you play that way.

SWTOR lets you chose light or dark decisions during your game play...you can stay "grey" through the entire thing if you decide to. And your decisions affect the story line.

I personally hate this freedom when the game outlines right and wrong for the player. something like red dead or metal gear solid.


Take the last metal gear solid. I happen to think i was a good guy, but the horn on my head kept growing

red dead, the whole honor thing...eh.

I love the freedom to make choices, but I don't like when the game gives me feedback on the quality or nature of my choices.

Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights were great as evil characters.

I usually choose good because the game rewards it more later on

exactly why I hate systems within the game...it's like an excise tax

you can do what you want, but we have decided right and wrong for you.


I like freedom, and I like choices impacting the gamed, but I hate being discouraged from a choice. instead of reward/punish why aren't both rewarding and both punishing.

the whole point of making a choice is tradeoffs.
