    This is why I can’t do a renegade run in Mass Effect

      The problem with renegade, at least in 1, is it mostly just means racist. Even if I want to enjoy being bad/evil, it doesn’t feel cool being racist

        I’m playing Disco Elysium as a hardcore white supremacist. Why? Because fuck you game, you give me an obvious bad choice I’m taking it out of spite because I know you don’t want me to.

        What’s the point of moral choices when the invisible hand of the developers have already decided what’s “really” the right thing to do? That’s just dogma, you might as well have omitted it altogether.

          Cool. I’m just saying I personally don’t enjoy playing racist characters. That’s too real to me to be fun evil. I want to play a cartoonishly evil person, not a realistically evil person. Otherwise I’ll stick to being a goody-two-shoes, thanks.
