OP

[(Anonymous)]

Mass Effect bothered me because you basically benefit the most by picking mostly paragon or mostly renegade options, while the middle "moderate" option gets you fuck all. It sort of encourages you to become an extremist (either a saint or a total asshole), when many of the "moderate" options are often the best choice, imo.

I feel that way about other games with morality systems, too, though... Infamous is pretty bad for that. You're actively punished for being somewhere in the middle because your skills are connected to how evil or how good you are.

Oh yeah I agree with you about that too, wholeheartedly. But punishing you for going neutral and pushing you to extremely was a bit of a treat for me, after so many JRPGs that do exactly the opposite - the best ending is always the neutral ending, and you're punished for choosing anything else or picking sides.

Yeah I felt that way about Dragon Age 2. Whereas friendship/rivalry is an awesome idea and allows you to not have to suck up to a character you disagree with, being extreme one way or the other doesn't seem always realistic. I rather wish that there was a separate "respect" bar that determined their stat boosts and whether they'd stick with you, and then friendship/rivalry only meant how they'd interact with you in dialogue. Or maybe a non-binary system, where they start at blank white, and can develop in a wider spectrum, so even "moderate" was a legitimate path.

but maybe that's me overthinking it.
