Ending of OWB. Moral Choice?
Did you kill the old man? Did you let the Think Tank free? What is the morally good choice ending?

Depends on how much you subscribe to the "greater good" viewpoint, an wether you believe in punishment.

Their long term goals seemed fuzzy to me so cant really answer as to which one is more moral.

Went with Mobius because hes on that lovable line between genius and madness.

I also didn't kill Mobius, but I didn't kill the Think Tank either.
These games always have a moral color system or a karma system. The colors reflect the ending videos and if you have ever played the game then you should be familiar with karma by now.

Only the bad ones. New Vegas DOES have a karma system but it has virtually no impact on the game and is entirely ignorable. It DOES affect the ending... a very, very small bit.

This lets it have gray in gray morality, and the game is better for it.

I beg to differ.

...I know that`s supposed to be all cool and ♥♥♥♥ but unless you tell me what exactly it is you "beg to differ" about all you`re doing is looking like a ponce.
There's no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gray morality ♥♥♥♥. If you want to talk ♥♥♥♥ go ahead. There is always a good and bad ending to the story. ♥♥♥♥

Depends on how you define "ending" and wether you count "non standard game over" as an "ending".

Also depends on what one considers good and bad. Most would consider and NCR ending good while I consider no better than gray but mostly bad.
Legion...same but more honest about it.
Mr. House would be gray to good.
Completely free Vegas is the only truly good ending but you personaly have to murder the only one that has any legit claim to it which means that, at the very best, this being the only bad thing you did, still very gray but with an overall good theme.
You know that NCR is Good, Mr House is Neutral Evil, and Legion is Evil, Yes Man is Chaotic Neutral.

There is no "gray" about it. It is like saying that the U.S. army is a "gray" area.

Mobius is not the bad guy, he is just "roleplaying", but I think the other scientists don't deserve to die, they just can't never be outside Big MT, I love this dlc and all the characters even the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that created the cazadores so for me the best ending is the one that everyone is alive (including the little robot dog you create)

There is gray in the US army, there has been tons of news stories recently exposing the amount rape in the military. Lets not forget the pointlessness of so many wars, all the boys dying to make a couple of old men richer, the drain the military industrial complex and lobbyists are to our political and economic systems. NOT SAYING our guys dont do lots of good, far more good than bad imo. But to say most anything doesnt have any gray area is straight up ignorant, dawg.

I saw a video where you side with Big MT and kill "The forbidden zone". You should look it up for yourself. It explains itself pretty good.

Actually I think none of the faction in this game are good neither evil, they are all trying to survive and they all are a reflection of the Old World
