That sounds good, but I'd like it available throughout the game. A sort of moral mirror that lets you see the character's ethics as other might view them.

I've mentioned before that I'd like certain dialogue and choice options to register you down one of several potential moral or personality pathways. Ideally, these choices would not be tagged on-screen as 'the flirt', 'the sociopath', 'the rule-follower' and so on, but leave it for the player to decide which is which.

Your relative score in each area might influence how NPCs react to you.


This is pretty much how the reputation system in Pillars of Eternity worked...and I quite loved that. It was shaped by your decisions rather than be chosen in character gen and gave a more detailed view of your character's ethics, morality, and politics.
