Sometimes, having a system that measures your actions and dishes out content in response makes a game all the more enjoyable. Such was the case for these titles which are the best nine games with a karma or morality system. *Warning: Spoilers Ahead*
Fallout 3
The Capital Wasteland of Fallout 3 is a cruel and harsh place, but that makes it all the more rewarding to adhere to whatever moral code most fits you in whatever degree you choose.
While killing and looting are a must for any prospective survivor of the apocalypse, most every other part of the game allows you to weigh the consequences of your actions and make choices accordingly.
Do you save dozens by disarming an active bomb in the center of a thriving settlement, or do you rig it to blow for a lump sum of cash?
Do you work with a camp of ruthless slavers for their connections and resources, or do you help its prisoners stage a daring escape and bring its overseers down in a hail of gunfire?
Or, do you walk the middle road, avoiding affiliation with anyone or anything to ensure your hands always stay clean?
Whichever choices you make, some will revere you while others will despise you, leading to different encounters and paths open to you as you wander the ruins of society.
Throw in the special abilities afforded to you based on the choices you make, and you’ve got a game where your decisions carry weight the whole way through, adding an extra layer to gameplay that’s hard not to love.
