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?

Amazed I had to scroll this far to see LiS mentioned.

There's a decision in the first game that legitimately made me get up from the computer and walk away. Absolutely fucking brutal game.

I know exactly the part you mean and same. Amazing moment. I also LOVED the sequel. Criminal that it didn't do as well as they wanted because I want them to make an even bigger version next. True Colours was pretty good though
