Should we replace the word 'morality'?
By: Pourquoi Date: January 16, 2013, 6:28 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Another subject about which I talked with Aero recently.
I think the word 'morality' does not fit the current concept in
the campaign.
Basically, 'morality' means either:
- Recognition of the distinction between good and evil or
between right and wrong; respect for and obedience to the rules
of right conduct; the mental disposition or characteristic of
behaving in a manner intended to produce morally good results.
- A set of social rules, customs, traditions, beliefs, or
practices which specify proper, acceptable forms of conduct.
I think neither of these 2 meanings truly fit the campaign
concept. Aero believes otherwise.
So, we are here, awaiting the for the wisdom of the members
again.

well you see, i never actually found out what morality is for
anyways. does it just display the characters way of
decisionmaking or do i actually benefit from having a high or
low morale? does it influence the gameplay somehow? items i can
get etc?
because if it doesnt, remove it completely or introduce the
morality system to the player and give more opportunitys to
get/lose morality. like the first time you can change your
morality is the archmage in chp1. i killed him and lost morality
and then i was like "oh, i hope thats not bad". then in chp4 i
lost morality again and i just prayed to xyrzious that it
wouldnt influence me in a bad way.
so what i think is: you either make it influence the game in a
very visible way through quests and items and
conversations/interludes, or you just remove it entirely.
also, morality is a good word and i wouldnt change it because as
of right now, it doesnt display the HEROES morality but rather
the players. sure phodom isnt a murderer and manslayer, but i
the fuck am, hell yeah. i killed those orcs, all of them. bitch!

Even though there are the honor points already, i think the
morality in this case is something similar to honor. A true
honored knight, for example, would not kill someone just because
he wants to. Another possiblity would be
words, how good (saint) of a person you are. Virtue is another
possilibity, and there are many others...

Nah, there aren't that many difference in the items for choosing
the dark side(they have cookies though).
The morality has impact later in the game if i'm not wrong,
unlocking different endings and/or cinematics and such.

I think you're seriously misunderstanding the word. Please
consult your dictionary again.
