>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 agree
I disagree
Ehh
Endless neutrality is bad, but only having two "sides" at any one time is also shit.

To me it's less about being neutral and more about not being pressured into going to one extreme.
99% of the time when a game has a karma/alignment type system, it only rewards you for going either full Mother Theresa or full Cobra Commander, which is just dumb. Especially when the "bad" side is more often than not written as either a complete psychopath or a pointlessly edgy asshole.
Is there anything more patetic than being either good or evil and base all your decisions on that, instead of carefully considering each choice you are presented with?
Ending neutral in a game that presents you with choices, or somewhere near neutrality is the most probable result if you really make a personal choice in the story instead of following a simplistic prototype, since sometimes you will chose the merciful, peaceful way and sometimes you will just feel like being a bastard or unleashing callous punishment or vengeance upon someone.
tl;dr - OP is a fag.
The first Witcher game did the whole neutrality thing quite well if you ask me.

It's our natural right to be jerks and ruin our planet, and no gods are going to tell me otherwise

I never cared that much about the "neutral" path and I usually took the ones that I liked the most or the one that were more fleshed out.
Also TW1 made me really appreciate the neutral path and I find it kinda sad that in a lot of games it has no flauvor at all and it's half assed.
Why do you copy paste this?

You're definitely not wrong. Having a neutral choice in a given situation isn't a bad thing but the people who would do nothing but neutral choices are the most boring people on the planet.
People that go "REEE" at all can eat shit. Type a proper sentence or shut the fuck up.

>not being a renegade and killing anyone that so much as looks at you wrong
It's like they don't want to have fun.

A lot of the problem stems from the fact that playing a character that does things based on what they feel is right in the moment (good or bad) rather than what some jackass dev thinks is "right" or "wrong" usually nets you fuck all.
It forces you to literally be Jesus incarnate or Puppy Kicker McEdge to actually see any kind of benefits and you literally hurt your character by playing a character who does both good and bad things as per the situation.
The problem isn't neutral characters the problem is the system they have to exist in in 99% of games is total garbage
