I see it's one of those threads where your're only allowed a single viewpoint so I'll see myself out.
You claimed there was no way to know if there might be consequences in the game so it was a pragmatic gamble. The same game that did everything I mentioned + direct mentions of possible soul destroying by Withers to boot. That's not a 'only one viewpoint allowed' situation. You were just wrong. Objectively.
It is my opinion that the game as is does not really support moral subversion as a theme very well. Not that your idea of it was inherently bad or not allowed, but that it's more than a little bit of a tonal whiplash for the same reason why 'you can get happy enough endings for everyone except Karlach's are all terrible' feels really weird. If you wanted the game to support moral subversions with more nuance, then have at it, no problems here at all!
