Re: A complaint about the Morality system. (Or, how Mass Effect semi-killed roleplaying). ironclad Send a noteboard - 28/02/2010 12:34:31 AM
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!


The problem with that is merely that the sentence fragments to choose from don't always tell us everything about the long reply Shepherd would be giving. Otherwise I'd agree.

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.
