I just played the first one... LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 21/09/2011 02:14:13 PM
It may not be granting you +5 Ambassador of Neutrality title or anything, but it has more gray choices than most decision-making RPGs. Or maybe it's just that the choices are too murky to know which side is better at the time of decision. It's been a while...

But either way, you should check them out.


And I think it's more a case of "too murky"...which isn't bad! I like how the plot line kept me wondering what was going to be the next turn, and the consequences of your actions weren't always obvious. That's interesting! But the relationship between the decisions your trying to make, your goals, etc...etc... can become pretty murky depending on how hard-line you make your opinions about things.

Hm. It depends on what you mean by "rewarded." beetnemesis - 20/09/2011 04:15:18 PM 678 Views
No, not quite Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 04:29:42 PM 609 Views
I don't think I know anything that matches what you want. Nate - 20/09/2011 04:39:22 PM 577 Views
You are a horrible human being. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 20/09/2011 08:24:05 PM 254 Views
I'm morally grey! Women love me, and men want to be like me. *NM* Nate - 20/09/2011 09:15:31 PM 280 Views

I thnk Fallout 3 gave you bonuses for being neutral. MightyYT - 20/09/2011 04:52:11 PM 560 Views
That was the first that came to my mind, too. *NM* ironclad - 21/09/2011 09:46:11 AM 246 Views
P.S. re: "thine" Nate - 20/09/2011 04:57:27 PM 525 Views
Damn, I knew it! Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 05:11:25 PM 571 Views
"Netural" isn't about picking "good and evil" choices. LadyLorraine - 20/09/2011 04:59:42 PM 570 Views
It'd be pretty difficult to specifically reward you for being a 'gray' character. (Two games) Jacob - 20/09/2011 05:02:28 PM 706 Views
Take Knights of the Old Republic, for example Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 05:08:04 PM 623 Views
That's not so much an alignment as just metagaming the system. Fanatic-Templar - 20/09/2011 09:27:49 PM 563 Views
thank you for phrasing that better than me *NM* LadyLorraine - 20/09/2011 11:11:54 PM 263 Views
Maybe I didn't explain right Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 11:19:51 PM 525 Views
I'd say that's evil. Fanatic-Templar - 21/09/2011 03:00:32 AM 693 Views
of course, then you get into question of whether actions like that example are evil LadyLorraine - 21/09/2011 04:03:03 AM 577 Views
Questions of morality are the great fun of philosophy . Fanatic-Templar - 21/09/2011 05:24:50 AM 528 Views

That's actually a pretty narrow view of Neutral when it comes to Alignment or Morality. Jacob - 21/09/2011 02:19:34 PM 557 Views
I thought I had allowed for what you said. Fanatic-Templar - 21/09/2011 04:33:30 PM 499 Views
It's not a neutral outlook Dark Knight - 21/09/2011 06:27:27 PM 620 Views
See, what you're talking about IS in fact considered EVIL. Jacob - 21/09/2011 08:33:30 PM 560 Views
You might want to try The Witcher series. Zalis - 21/09/2011 05:16:05 AM 545 Views

Grey decisions are good but... Dark Knight - 21/09/2011 06:19:04 PM 636 Views
they don't reward it because, for the most part, they don't want you taking a middle ground. LadyLorraine - 21/09/2011 07:10:48 PM 519 Views
Well that's just stupid. Tired of picking the 2 sides over and over *NM* Dark Knight - 21/09/2011 08:02:11 PM 289 Views
Neutrality is often boring or selfish. Good stories seldom have truly neutral protagonists. *NM* Zalis - 22/09/2011 06:27:05 PM 269 Views
Are you kidding? Dark Knight - 22/09/2011 06:54:19 PM 593 Views
There's a difference between doing "bad" things for a good purpose, and being neutral. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 22/09/2011 09:12:16 PM 239 Views
That's chaotic good, not neutral. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/09/2011 10:36:28 PM 279 Views
I have an on-topic comment as well as a general rant on game morality systems. Aemon - 21/09/2011 06:43:21 PM 733 Views
if they wanted to make the conversation mechanics more complicated... LadyLorraine - 21/09/2011 07:14:21 PM 640 Views
I don't care if it's complicated so long as it's clear. Aemon - 22/09/2011 08:27:46 PM 534 Views
I agree with this, actually. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 22/09/2011 09:17:23 PM 278 Views
I agree with that, too. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/09/2011 10:38:15 PM 268 Views
