As a tangent, because Grand Theft Auto occurred to me when thinking about this, have you ever tried to be law-abiding in a GTA game? Outside of the story missions, I mean. It's frigging impossible. The car physics are so wonky that it's almost impossible to stay on your side of the street, and the other cars go so slow that you can't get anywhere. And the moment you mess up your driving and bump someone, the police try to arrest you and the next thing you know you're firing rockets at SWAT helicopters.


I have no idea what you're talking about, Senator...

My companions! Lend me thine vast expertise Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 03:56:19 PM 1028 Views
Hm. It depends on what you mean by "rewarded." beetnemesis - 20/09/2011 04:15:18 PM 737 Views
No, not quite Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 04:29:42 PM 665 Views
I don't think I know anything that matches what you want. Nate - 20/09/2011 04:39:22 PM 636 Views
You are a horrible human being. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 20/09/2011 08:24:05 PM 274 Views
I'm morally grey! Women love me, and men want to be like me. *NM* Nate - 20/09/2011 09:15:31 PM 306 Views

I thnk Fallout 3 gave you bonuses for being neutral. MightyYT - 20/09/2011 04:52:11 PM 621 Views
That was the first that came to my mind, too. *NM* ironclad - 21/09/2011 09:46:11 AM 268 Views
P.S. re: "thine" Nate - 20/09/2011 04:57:27 PM 576 Views
Damn, I knew it! Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 05:11:25 PM 638 Views
"Netural" isn't about picking "good and evil" choices. LadyLorraine - 20/09/2011 04:59:42 PM 626 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 760 Views
Take Knights of the Old Republic, for example Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 05:08:04 PM 684 Views
That's not so much an alignment as just metagaming the system. Fanatic-Templar - 20/09/2011 09:27:49 PM 633 Views
thank you for phrasing that better than me *NM* LadyLorraine - 20/09/2011 11:11:54 PM 277 Views
Maybe I didn't explain right Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 11:19:51 PM 581 Views
I'd say that's evil. Fanatic-Templar - 21/09/2011 03:00:32 AM 747 Views
of course, then you get into question of whether actions like that example are evil LadyLorraine - 21/09/2011 04:03:03 AM 629 Views
Questions of morality are the great fun of philosophy . Fanatic-Templar - 21/09/2011 05:24:50 AM 587 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 624 Views
I thought I had allowed for what you said. Fanatic-Templar - 21/09/2011 04:33:30 PM 561 Views
It's not a neutral outlook Dark Knight - 21/09/2011 06:27:27 PM 687 Views
See, what you're talking about IS in fact considered EVIL. Jacob - 21/09/2011 08:33:30 PM 619 Views
You might want to try The Witcher series. Zalis - 21/09/2011 05:16:05 AM 604 Views
I just played the first one... LadyLorraine - 21/09/2011 02:14:13 PM 661 Views
Grey decisions are good but... Dark Knight - 21/09/2011 06:19:04 PM 704 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 584 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 310 Views
Neutrality is often boring or selfish. Good stories seldom have truly neutral protagonists. *NM* Zalis - 22/09/2011 06:27:05 PM 292 Views
Are you kidding? Dark Knight - 22/09/2011 06:54:19 PM 656 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 261 Views
That's chaotic good, not neutral. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/09/2011 10:36:28 PM 303 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 786 Views
if they wanted to make the conversation mechanics more complicated... LadyLorraine - 21/09/2011 07:14:21 PM 702 Views
I don't care if it's complicated so long as it's clear. Aemon - 22/09/2011 08:27:46 PM 590 Views
I agree with this, actually. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 22/09/2011 09:17:23 PM 304 Views
I agree with that, too. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/09/2011 10:38:15 PM 289 Views
