what a profoundly stupid OP.

While I could list games for days that aren't black and white, there's no sense in bearing even that minute burden when the truth is so obvious. Instead, riddle me this: What's a game that's popular, widely-discussed, and widely remembered even among random retards? Hrmmmm. Hint: Cowboys, Romans, and pic related.

If only there was some sort of freely available online database that meticulously categorizes games with tongue-in-cheek terminology that you could use to find the games with the features seek.

Most if not all cRPGs. There's literally so many games that fit your requirement that you're going to have to narrow it down if you want some recommendations.

Roman larpers are silly (fallout is meant to be a silly despite what Bethesda wants for the series), but they have good points. Talking to Ceasar directly is pretty enlightening.

Literally defending a bland idea of just copy and pasting something from history into the game.

>but they have good points. Talking to Ceasar directly is pretty enlightening.

If you know anything about Roman history you'll know that he's literally enacting the same mistakes that caused the fall of the roman empire, inter grading foreign cultures, overexertion of his empire, viewing other faction as something only to be conquered, viewing everyone nothing more than something to be used, etc., all while mocking the NCR for having the same problems as what it is trying to intimidate. The conversation is not meant to be enlightening it's to show just because something appears to be organized does not mean it sensible.

I really don't understand all these fucking retards who constantly go that the Romans should never be imitated because they fell. Like fucking shit you baboon, what empire didn't fall? Most empires fall after the death of their first leader, like a lot of ancient Mesopotamians or Mongolians. It's a fucking sight to behold that the Roman empire lasted so long, especially taking into account the sheer amount of backstabbing and political turmoil the empire was tossed into. No empire rules for over a thousand years, but the Romans came damn well close.

Literally not what I said, if you were literate you'd know that I am criticizing Ceasar for blinding reenacting the flaws that caused the fall of the Roman empire that he could easily avoid, all whilst mocking other tribes for doing the same exact thing, I suggest you think before you speak.

the problems with the late roman empire were bureaucracy, series of retard emperors, praetorians killing emperors, and splitting the empire up. Never got where this idea of integrating other tribes and shit came from.

>Thief series, and (ironically) dishonored. They're made by the same devs. So if you can stomach the usual poz, you can notice that no faction are "truly" the bad guys. If you stand and listen, the hyperreligious zealots are much more reasonable. Kind of a remniscence of the hammerites from a better game.

>The witcher series, especially witcher 2, in which you have to pick a side between human hitler and elf pol pot.

>KOTOR II is a sequel to a bioware title, the company whose choices are, like you said "be a liberal hillary voter" or "edgy mcgee the town child rapist". But the sequel elevates the series and probably the whole franchise. A certain NPC shows how both the light and dark side are two sides of the same coin, and offers you a third way in what is probably the most interesting (official) way to look at the star wars universe.

>Gothic, there are 3 factions, and all are different shades of asshole. They're interesting once you realize they're 3 different ways to deal with imprisonment: Trying to make the best with what you've got, escapism, and blowing the place up.

>Stalker and Pathologic, and I guess most slav games, have all factions either lie to you, or in games like Patho, outright manipulate and deceive you.

There's many more, this is just off the top of my head. Just search for a game with factions next time.

I hate "grey morality" in games. Most of the time, there's nothing grey about it, and it's just a matter of contrasting the objective moral truth, to temporal self gratification.

Since I can't do anything "right", there's also a feeling of disinvestment. Every choice I make is "different shades of grey".

Had this problem in the witcher 3

A typical quest would go like

>you let this thief go!

>but he was stealing food for his starving mother!

>but his starving mother is actually a werewolf that kills virgins every full moon!

>but if she doesn't sacrifice virgins, a plague will curse the entire city!

>but that plague might be good because it prevents overpopulation, and saves more lives in the long run!

>but one of those saved will grow up to be a pedophile!

>but if he rapes baby ghenghis khan, the baby will be too traumatized to conquer the world!

>etc.

Of course everything we do, or has been done to us, has causes and consequences that might be good or bad. That we know nothing of.

Morality is A) us acting in a way that we believe is correct, not one that might elicit results we demand. I give to charity because I want to do good for its own sake, not because I really think it can solve world hunger.

Of course there's also B) an argument to be made for the opposite: The end justifying the means. A morality that isn't concerned with correct conduct, as much as changing the world itself to be correct.

Unfortunately, "grey morality" type games (and witcher in particular), prevent the second option: I know for a fact that everyone in this quest is going to be a cunt, and all my well-meaning "end justify the means" choices are going to backfire.

So all I'm left with as a choice is "follow a moral code" or "let this crime go because the criminal has feelings too". Basically be a moralfag, or a softy.

Games with clearly defined moral codes are much more interesting to follow. Because the author gets to play with testing the limit of a character's morality and put his moral uprightness to the test in more advanced ways than "kill the baby or cut off your dick". Although it's so cheap that even games with a non-grey moral system use it too.

>Thief series, and (ironically) dishonored. They're made by the same devs. So if you can stomach the usual poz

There's not much poz in Dishonored, at least the first installment. I didn't play the sequel, so can't speak about it.

> you can notice that no faction are "truly" the bad guys

The regent is a typical cartoonish bad guy ruling with iron fist, and the lackeys you eliminate are venal and treacherous (the religious leader plans to poison the captain of the guard's drink). The thing is that your guys turn out to be no better than them, at least from the moral standpoint. Politically it'd be more expedient to have machiavellian leaders who can get the country out of the crisis instead of a teenage vagina who has nothing except of what she is.

>KOTOR II is a sequel to a bioware title, the company whose choices are, like you said "be a liberal hillary voter" or "edgy mcgee the town child rapist"

That's Star Wars in a nutshell, I wouldn't blame Bioware for fitting the theme. KOTOR 1 is a genuinely fun game.

>But the sequel elevates the series and probably the whole franchise. A certain NPC shows how both the light and dark side are two sides of the same coin, and offers you a third way

Too bad there's no 'third way' at the end, and you are either a good guy or a bad guy. Kill one council member (because the game railroads you into it for choosing the general on Dxun), and you have to kill the rest and be evil. Kreia scolds you either way, the whole 'force bond' gets thrown out the window so you can have a final showdown. A game that spends so much time telling you to look at the bigger picture and beyond the light/dark angle doesn't reward you for doing it at all.
