Games that force you to make hard choices (lemmy.world)

Hey all!

I'd like to request recommendations (spoiler free!) for games where you need to make choices, take sides, kill or not kill someone, follow or do not follow orders, but where the consequences actually matter - and most importantly, where the choices aren't "obviously good choice vs obviously bad choice".

Give me games where I can choose to side with one kingdom or another, but there's no clear moral high ground, or where I need to decide to save someone dear to me at the cost of innocent lives. I do not want things like "save all the children and get the happy ending and make flowers grow" versus "kill everybody and everything blows up and the world gets all its water replaced by acid".

What games fit this requirement?

Pokémon. You get to choose from Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle for your starter. And everyone you know will judge you for which starter you picked.

When you have a link cable and a friend you just exchange starters to each other so you have all three of them.

What if I have two link cables and no friends?

Nipple tassels.

Doesn't the original only have a single save slot?

So you'd need at least a third copy for both of you to get all three.

Two copies are enough.

You just safe 5 starters on one copy and then move the two that are double back to the other copy when they got their third starter.

Ah yeah I see!

I was just thinking of trying to do it without erasing anyone's game or making them start over.
