Good or evil ?

[Dapre]

Hi. Is this a game where you play the "evil" character ?
In most games I prefer to play the moraly good character.

For that reason I quit playing Disciples 4, despite I really liked 2 and 3.
I didnt like to play the evil hero.

So, will this game be something for me ?

You can choose whether to be evil or good, but world is set up in a very dark world if You don't like these climates.

It´s your choice, and it´s a very relevant choice as the Morality and religion of your leader is a game mechanic, affecting which knights you will recruit and who will like fighting for you or not.
If you choose Rightful, you´ll end recruiting Sir Lancelot, for example.

Thanks for the reply. I just saw a YouTube review, where "good" was killing all the enemies, and "bad" was to recruit them.

So your main (dead zombie) character will not be "punished" for doing moraly good things ?
Like have reduced stats or something like that ?

The dark world part is ok. As I say I have played Disciples 2 for hundreds of hours.
And that is one dark and gloomy game indeed.

yes

Mordred (the main character) is introduced as an anti-hero but you can definitely choose to play him as more of a good character in your campaign, and some of the companions you'll recruit on that path are very clearly good characters.

What a weird reason to quit a game...

more like evil or neutral

You sorta get the impression that King Arthur is the real bad guy. It's sort of a role reversal.

I don't know what YouTube review you saw, but what you wrote isn't an accurate reflection of the game.

The premise is that in England, you were the bad guy who followed the old faith (fairies, giants, magic, etc.) and you fought against Arthur who was good and converted to Christianity. Now that you awaken in Avalon, you can go in 4 different paths: Old Faith Tyrant (evil, magic), Tyrant Christian (evil, more knight oriented), Old Faith Righteous (good, magic) or Righteous Christian (good, more knight oriented). You can also choose to not pick a particular side and remain neutral in one or both axes (religion and/or righteousness).

Your choice will affect dialog (Mordred will always remain a slight a**hole in cinematic dialogs, but he won't be evil), the knights you can or can't recruit (lots of arcanists and sages for Old Faith, lots of knights for Christianity), your overworld abilites (your combat abilities are not affected by morality -- you will still have access to magic even if you choose to be a Christian, for example) and the actual missions you get in the last act.

You can definitely make a run (or even several different runs) choosing only ``good" choices, and working with a team of righteous heroes like Lancelot, Guinever, Galahad, etc.).

Thanks for all the replies, and a special thank to Elbentzo for explaining the game in more details.

Its all grey.

Old Faith - Traditional customs and Paganism, but also occasional Death cults
Christianity - Will bring light and solidarity to all man kind, but also murder everyone who refuses to convert

Tyrant - Will leave immigrants to starve outside the walls so that we have enough food for our own people, and will put down rebellions harshly (ruthless pragmatism)
Rightful - Will welcome immigrants even if it means straining resources, but will also execute a hungry man for stealing food


There are a number of decisions to make throughout the story. But really you only make the two decisions of which axis you want to go down. It is only a detriment if you try to mix opposing axis choices later on.

Lore-wise i think the most fitting "correct" playthrough is a Old Faith / Tyrant one. But you can really pick your own no problem, they all give some interesting unlocks.
