Too black and white moral/ethic problems

[Sad Yak]

Perhaps it is just me, but every conflict you are set to resolve feels very black and white on moral spectrum? There is clear bad and good side, and no question who to pick should you be good or bad. No ambiguity or grey area.

I have only got first two arcs done so far and i am yet to see a decision or dialogue that would pit me against truly difficult decision that makes me think upon it for longer than a second.

Personally found a lot of ambiguous dialogue paths. Found myself on the fence on a lot of options especially in act 3. Act 1 and part of 2 is fairly black and white yes, but i think that's more or less to establish the stories arc (and its various outcomes).

I agree, it really depends on how you play. My first two playthroughs were pretty wild as I didn’t want to just tow the line with good choices the whole time. There’s a lot of moments in the game where I questioned the “best” choice. Either way, it’s ultimately a role play choice versus “how morally ambiguous can I be.”

Can you explain which conflicts you're talking about, specifically?

My morally ambiguous bard is so grey fog cloud makes them invisible.

Spoiler warning:
In my act 3 play through, I had a lot of doubt on the choice between freeing Orpheus and betraying your illithid protector. Having Lae'zel in the party really puts you what feels like a no win, no right/wrong situation since if you free orpheus you turn into an illithid and risk her leaving even though she pushes you to free him. Where as she gets mad
at you for not freeing him.

just one example. but probably the most troubling decision i had to make in my play through where there was no cut and dry right/wrong good/evil answer.

Everyone talk about grey morals, and I kinda understand what they mean to say, but there are no grey morals as people mean it. It is exactly what it mean. Having grey morals means you dont have morals but you pretend to.
Moral code is kinda black or white. Either you follow it or not.
You might not be forced to. You might not feel compelled to. But once you do, you follow to the letter. If you falter by a comma, you falter. Kinda like the Paladin Oath. No matter what you did, or why you did, if you broke it, you broke it.
