People will also shoot on sight. Gives me more reason to open fire, though. |

It's hard to write a good story for a game that doesn't force you to be either good or evil. For example, New Vegas was successful at making it make sense to be good/neutral/evil, but the story wasn't really good. Even the Overlord games, in which your character is supposed to be evil, you feel like you are making the world a better place. |

I like how Bethesda's games don't particularly encourage having any particular amount of moral values. Fable, for example, seemed to be the little devil on your shoulder the whole time, ever galvanizing evil choices. Perhaps it's challenging the player; those with strong wills to be good are naturally ignorant of these little indications that you should be relishing in the more reprobate parts of life. But I digress. Fallout 3 doesn't offer any moral guidance to immoral players, or vice-versa. I like it. |

Also with Fable, while it offers quests and incentives to being evil, the story line sort of forces you to be good. For II/III anyway, TLC was a lot better at making it so you can be evil the whole way through. |

I only don't like how I could slaughter half the population and people would still act all shocked when I don Jack's mask instead of destroying it. But then again, this is the Fallout thread. Lol I've begun a collection of cigarette cartons. I don't know why. I have nine so far. |
