It’s quite interesting how there’s so many different versions of morality across all the different titles. And I agree that the biggest challenge is making the morality fun in a video game and have “rewards” for being on either side of that morality
It'll be a balancing act for sure. You have to make being a bad person worthwhile even if it may lead to some gut wrenching consequences. Red Dead 2 and Mass Effect 2 do this quite well imo, but both offer more freedom to do things than HL. We can't exactly accidentally obliterate an entire solar system and go "oopsie daisy!" while we're a student.
I want there to at least be some sort of consequences or reactions to us using the Unforgivable Spells. They're called unforgivable for a reason in the world so at least some consequences would be good. If felt weird when I used Imperio in my first playthrough (I only choose that so that way I could use it on like trolls or the big spiders that were a pain for me to deal with) when I was with Figg or people like Naty who didn't comment at all that I used Impero. Granted It's not as bad as like Curcio but I was expecting some reaction. Like a why is this troll helping us?
I totally agree. The lack of response did a lot to tone down the coolness of the unforgivable curses. It would have been cool to be sent to detention or something at least.
