Which games hit you hard with moral choices like Black & White or Fable?

-

I’m on the hunt for a great morality-focused game that really makes you feel the weight of your decisions, similar to classics like Black and White or Fable. I recently started playing Cult of the Lamb, but it just doesn’t have the punch I’m looking for; the impact of choices feels muted. I miss games where making a tough choice results in a character expressing their disappointment, like when you can cause real harm to others as a consequence of your actions. For instance, in Black and White, you can choose to bring back a woman’s husband as a corpse instead of helping her, leaving her with regret. Or in Fable, where you can betray friends for profit. I loved how games like Mass Effect and Dishonored responded to your choices. Basically, I’m seeking something that makes morality the central theme and showcases how the world around you changes according to your actions. Any recommendations?

Try Dragon Age: Origins as well; it gives you a variety of impactful choices. But if you’re really into dark decisions, don’t miss Tyranny—there’s no way out without making someone angry or unhappy.

You should check out Frostpunk. It’s all about tough decisions as you control a society trying to survive in a frozen wasteland. One of the wildest choices is legalizing child labor to strengthen your economy—definitely hits hard!

So, do characters in Frostpunk actually react to your decisions like that? I need the feels!

That really does paint a bleak picture! The game forces you to rationalize the awful things you’ll do just to survive, which is exactly what you’re looking for.

Catherine is a unique choice! It’s a morality sim that really digs into the complexity of relationships. Plus, you’ll feel the consequences of your decisions on your character’s life.

If you want a game that makes you squirm, Spec Ops: The Line is a must-play. This one has a scene that haunts players due to the choices they make, and it’s definitely a gut punch.

True! That phosphorus scene is unforgettable, it illustrates the consequences of war in a way that sticks with you.
