No TRUE Morality System? Really?

[Anfia /s]

reading the FAQ, they say the game have no true morality system, instead with the quests that influences the story?

seems kinda not dealbreaker right now?

Trying to black and white assign something as good or evil isn't really an aid to RPGs. What matters more is that the actions have consequences and can change parts of story that follows, based on your decisions.

Being a wizard supremacist doesn't mean you have to go full bad and want to be akin to a Death Eater, you could still be a decent person who just has no interest in ever interacting with the non magical.

Being fine with muggles and first generation meanwhile, doesn't mean you can't be a ruthless terrible person when dealing with your wizarding rivals.

Morality is subjective anyways. I do not mean any of that modern bull crap, but in all seriousness, it can be incredibly limiting to have a "good" vs "bad" choice. 2 people can do the exact same thing but with entirely different intentions, so the whole morality system is flawed anyways. I say good riddance as long as they don't go to far toward the other extreme and make everything sugar coated and rainbows either.

I like D&D morality with its 3x3 grid for where characters are morally.

It covers good and evil as well as lawful and chaotic.

Reputation can be just as useful to Morality.

Not to mention, at some point in the wizardry world, aurors were allowed to use killing curses on death-eaters (for good reason too). Is it morally bad to kill death-eaters? Sure, but perhaps justified when they are trying to do the same.

TWD?
They had pre-defined systems, which I would not define as a good morality system.
It's just that option or another.
Some cases couldn't even get avoided.
Carley for example has some different occasions where she dies, but she dies. No chance to save her for a longer run.

She's one of the characters I would liked to have longer around and a reason of why I hated Lilly and her father.

Why you need someone who tells you what is good and bad? Kids need that, as they got told "no that is bad, you shouldn't do that!". Adults should make up their own mind. That is what I liked about Bioware's MMOs after FR (BG/NWN...), they let you do what you were thinking is right without pointing it out, if it was right or wrong, just having conesequences in the story.
Morality systems are some kind of old fashioned, I never really liked the idea of calling something "chaotic evil" or "lawful good", as evil or good is a matter of view and sometimes good intentions can lead to evil or vice versa.

The problem is games morality is never accurate, real people can do questionable stuff for good reasons and still be good, or vice versa.. Games cannot do morality properly without condemning the players into strict annoying groups..

[bloodymonarch]

I guess I should expect to see lots of moral relativity in a game forum for an IP that has gone more... woke.

Hate to break it to y'all, but morality is pretty black and white as far as humanity is concerned. The borders? Well, you can't have "grey areas" or "borders" without something on either side. That would be good and evil. There's a little good in evil and a little evil in good. But they do exist.

If only this game have proper morality system, this game will be hit like those game I mentioned, RDR, Mass Effect, and many other morality system games. Not just adding full fantasy of choice, but also realism and increased immersion a lot (which is may never seen before in Harry Potter franchise, Hogwarts Legacy is still harry potter franchise even isolated separate like Fantastic Beasts) since this game previously as far as the first trailer on State of Play until introduction of Dark Arts choices, they offering a full experience AND choice more than Harry Potter movies...

Yee we know morality system is subjective (especially depends where you live on your country/environment).. but still... :"

I really want to pre-order this game because I thought that this game will have that system, but when I saw that on FAQ, suddenly gonna hold :'
