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?

I'll be honest, I really didn't come across any. The "challenging moral decisions" werenot hard choices, no matter how many of my party members took them out of context and got pissy.

Unpopular opinion, but for a game with such immaculate writing for two Acts, Act 3 is such a fucking shit show of mediocre writing and forgotten story threads.

Not that controversial, I also didn't think act 3 was up to the par of 1 and 2.

I felt like the last 3 big decisions you make were pretty hard. I'm not sure how to do spoiler tags otherwise I'd be more specific
