"Greetings, mortal. I offer you great power, but first, you must give me your soul!"
"Oh, goodness no. I could never give you my soul. No deal."
"Behold, mortal! Here is thy gift of power!"
"Whoa, whoa, wait just a tic. I said I'm *NOT* giving you my soul."
"Well, technically you get the power either way. It's just in this case I don't also get your soul. I guess you found the loophole."
Love this!
Yeah game studios can't win. Either you get called out for morality boiling down to blue colored or red colored powers, or you get accused of ignoring/favoring one side or the other.
Narrative and gameplay mechanics linked in a meaningful way like this is one of the lessons I hope other studios learn from BG3.
