Re: A complaint about the Morality system. (Or, how Mass Effect semi-killed roleplaying). Kronin al'Sulc Send a noteboard - 27/02/2010 04:57:43 PM
I agree that they should make it less obvious which options lead to which result. Although, since only a short sentence is usually the hint for a much larger reply it would be sometimes hard to decipher which reaction hides behind it, if it wasn't for the position.


So what if it's hard to tell? make us actually roleplay!
At last, I have an apostrophe!
