Grey decisions are good but... Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 21/09/2011 06:19:04 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.


I'm looking for specific bonuses for being grey. Hmm let me put it this way...most games that have good and evil paths that reward you the further you go down that morality path. So if you are playing a good character you will always make the good choice. Always. Because if you make one semi-evil choice, you get penalized on your morality scale. There's only 2 choices. That's it. Either always be good or always be bad. You can't be grey because there's no reward for that. See what I mean? I want cool grey bonuses!

Hm. It depends on what you mean by "rewarded." beetnemesis - 20/09/2011 04:15:18 PM 744 Views
No, not quite Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 04:29:42 PM 674 Views
I don't think I know anything that matches what you want. Nate - 20/09/2011 04:39:22 PM 643 Views
You are a horrible human being. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 20/09/2011 08:24:05 PM 277 Views
I'm morally grey! Women love me, and men want to be like me. *NM* Nate - 20/09/2011 09:15:31 PM 309 Views

I thnk Fallout 3 gave you bonuses for being neutral. MightyYT - 20/09/2011 04:52:11 PM 630 Views
That was the first that came to my mind, too. *NM* ironclad - 21/09/2011 09:46:11 AM 272 Views
P.S. re: "thine" Nate - 20/09/2011 04:57:27 PM 583 Views
Damn, I knew it! Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 05:11:25 PM 645 Views
"Netural" isn't about picking "good and evil" choices. LadyLorraine - 20/09/2011 04:59:42 PM 634 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 773 Views
Take Knights of the Old Republic, for example Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 05:08:04 PM 691 Views
That's not so much an alignment as just metagaming the system. Fanatic-Templar - 20/09/2011 09:27:49 PM 641 Views
thank you for phrasing that better than me *NM* LadyLorraine - 20/09/2011 11:11:54 PM 280 Views
Maybe I didn't explain right Dark Knight - 20/09/2011 11:19:51 PM 589 Views
I'd say that's evil. Fanatic-Templar - 21/09/2011 03:00:32 AM 755 Views
of course, then you get into question of whether actions like that example are evil LadyLorraine - 21/09/2011 04:03:03 AM 637 Views
Questions of morality are the great fun of philosophy . Fanatic-Templar - 21/09/2011 05:24:50 AM 596 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 634 Views
I thought I had allowed for what you said. Fanatic-Templar - 21/09/2011 04:33:30 PM 570 Views
It's not a neutral outlook Dark Knight - 21/09/2011 06:27:27 PM 696 Views
See, what you're talking about IS in fact considered EVIL. Jacob - 21/09/2011 08:33:30 PM 628 Views
You might want to try The Witcher series. Zalis - 21/09/2011 05:16:05 AM 612 Views
I just played the first one... LadyLorraine - 21/09/2011 02:14:13 PM 668 Views
Grey decisions are good but... Dark Knight - 21/09/2011 06:19:04 PM 712 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 593 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 314 Views
Neutrality is often boring or selfish. Good stories seldom have truly neutral protagonists. *NM* Zalis - 22/09/2011 06:27:05 PM 296 Views
Are you kidding? Dark Knight - 22/09/2011 06:54:19 PM 665 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 264 Views
That's chaotic good, not neutral. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/09/2011 10:36:28 PM 306 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 795 Views
if they wanted to make the conversation mechanics more complicated... LadyLorraine - 21/09/2011 07:14:21 PM 709 Views
I don't care if it's complicated so long as it's clear. Aemon - 22/09/2011 08:27:46 PM 598 Views
I agree with this, actually. *NM* Fanatic-Templar - 22/09/2011 09:17:23 PM 307 Views
I agree with that, too. *NM* Ghavrel - 22/09/2011 10:38:15 PM 291 Views
