    They definitely didn’t start it. The first KOTOR (and most subsequent BioWare games) had a similar moral framework activated by dialogue choices.

      Ah, thanks. Somehow I’ve managed to miss that series completely although I hear about it all the time.

        If you have any interest in that style of RPG, I’d say playing the first KOTOR is time well spent. The graphics are junk but building your team in a Jedi / Scoundrel shooter looter and solving all the dumb locals problems in sometimes hilarious ways. I guess what I’m trying to say is most of the gameplay is still solid. Think FF active time battle for encounters, it’s very similar to that. Check it out!

          Yeah, and now that I think about it, perhaps KOTOR’s moral system doesn’t fall under “binary moral choice bollocks”, since the Yedi vs Sith -thing is a fundamental thing of that universe. Would’ve been silly if that choice didn’t exist in that game.
