>Those people that go "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I WANT TO BE NEUTRAL! WHY DOESN'T THIS GAME ALLOW ME TO BE NEUTRAL!!?!?!? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" in an RPG
Is there anything more pathetic?
And to all you neutralfags, please post some compelling choices (or non-choices) a neutral character could make.
I mean, who cares?
This thread again?

The problem is that choices aren't morally grey, but black and white. This dumbs down the writing.
>>339295114
FUCK OFF
>>339295386
Isn't it all black and white?
>White: This helps me
>Black: This hurts me
stop reposting this shit cancer
Because I'd rather play a game where I can make honest choices from a player perspective without feeling as though I'm gimping myself in the process.
I mean, if the game expects me to go all good or evil with no inbetween, why even have a choice in the matter to begin with? Seems completely counter intuitive to the whole "play it your way" perspective.
>>339295114
It isn't a case of wanting the game to provide you with 'neutral' choices, but wanting the game to recognize that your character selects pragmatic or idealistic solutions based on the situation at hand, instead of to acting like a rabid ideologue.

The real problem with good/bad endings
>>339295114
you can't play a deep character, only boy scout or murder hobo. There's no middle ground.
which is why Alpha Protocol is so good, I was playing boy scout, until I met some people I didn't like, then I told them where to stick it and heck was also a terrible influence.

>boy scout or murder hobo.
You do realise some of the best characters in fiction are "boy scouts" or "murder hobos", right?
>>339295114
Why even play the game?
In games with morality systems, too often being noble and self sacrificing doesn't actually negatively impact the player in any way. This leads to "bad" choices being simply sadistic for no reason other than "lolsoedgy". Also, trying to present moral choices as being either good or bad often leads to devs trying to pass off their own opinions as objective fact. Neutral options reign in this kind of shitty writing to a certain extent by introducing a middle ground which is sorely missing from most vidya scenarios.
You made the same thread already.

Yeah it's rare you get bit in the ass for being a good two shoes, when in reality it's hard for that to work out for someone (see: Jesus)
>>339296451
Also, you're generally rewarded for filling your morality meter up fully which removes the option of role playing and making meaningful choices as the most rewarding way to play is "always pick blue option" or "always pick red option"
>>339296285
And some of the best characters in fiction are neutral, or switch back and forth.
Diversity in character behaviors is good, being pidgeonholed is not.
>>339297105
The western genre is entirely stocked with murder hobos
You have to realise stock archetypes are there for a reason
Letting a shitty dialog system decide what actions you take. Do you even rpg?
Euthanize yourself

Final Fantasy games have deeper choices than this.
