Ep 72: Morality Systems
from Overthinking Games · host Overthinking Games
Morality SystemsThis week, we discuss morality systems in games: from the simplest, binary choices in Bioshock, to the non-linear, complex, and unpredictable branches of Detroit: Become Human, morality systems have been a tool used by game developers for ages to evoke emotion, create disparate narratives, and make their players feel like paragons of virtue and heartless villains.Do you go for the morally-bankrupt, but often rewarding, options, or are you “Lawful Good”, choosing your own moral compass, or even an idealized moral compass, when faced with difficult in-game choices?Send us an email with your thoughts, and if you have any suggestions for topics, we’d love to hear them!
