    video game morality systems be like: do you want to kill this guy like an evil person? y/n

    meanwhile to get to this choice you've slaughtered about 300 people, but they weren't worthy of moral consideration

          Right? I got like eight crystal gems in my pocket. One trip to the turtle pope and I can fix this.

          Also we both killed like a million regular soldiers and there was no shade there

        deep moral questions is whether you nuke an entire town for no real reason or you just don't do that because it would be fucked up

        do you want to do a genocide while crying about it, or do a genocide while cackling maniacally?

      i've been playing swtor and it's never more apparent how arbitrary these systems are than in a bioware mmo

      the worst morality system in gaming and the small-scale genocide of mmorpg gameplay
