don't think it should be axis based at all, they are fairly meaning less and result in unrelated actions affecting the general opinion of npcs

I only meant axis in terms of flavors of choices.

The problem with Moral choices in games MrWiggles is the same as the problem with trying to worry players with danger. It isn't a world where morality matters to them.

"that baggage of "MORAL" choice, just kills it for me"

Actually Fallout 2 did it very well. I'd check it out.

I think Bioshock (IIRC) did the "choice" system (wasn't necessarily moral choice) in that it didn't matter which thing you chose, the game always left the player with the satisfaction of knowing that they made the right choice.

For example:

Your party doesn't trust the New Guy and are worried about him, he's "one of the enemy" but says he's flipped sides.

A) Trust him.
B) Don't trust him.

Well the choice was between eating the hearts of children or curing cancer in Bioshock...

Well, if you listened to the scientist woman who said she could find a cure, she did and just in time.  If you didn't give her the time, you were (again) right, as she was infected and trying to get you too.

So you found out that the cure for cancer turned out to be a deadly disease. It didn't change the fact that the other choice was eating babies

Oh, sorry, I was thinking the cure to the deadly disease.
I haven't actually played the game.

So you guys are saying that regardless of story you would pay 10 bucks for good gameplay? How important would you guys say art is? None of the team members are really able to produce consistent character sprites.

 Heh. You know the chances of that happening; are you sure it's a good idea to prod him?

Imagine a cool peice of sky-blue and milk-white marble about 3cm by 2cm and by 0.5cm, containing a tiny 2mm malacolite crystal. Now imagine the miles of metamorphic rock it's embedded in that no pick or chisel will ever touch. Then, imagine that those miles will melt back into their mantle long before any telescope even refracts an image of their planet. The watchers will be so excited to have that image too.
