There is litterally no impact whatsoever if you avada-kedavra all the map.

They only are Foribidden to inferior Wizards

[Jivebot]

They're only unforgiveable if you ask to be forgiven.

lol there are minor dialogue variations I have observed between learning the curses and not learning them, but nothing for actually using them except in cutscene context.

There's one big spoilerific choice at the end which decides if you can learn the ones you may have missed along the way but if you already got them all by then, even that choice only effects a certain character's final fate.

no it makes you a future auror

There is no choice for an ending. The game is linear; you can't make decisions.

Is it better to slowly beat someone to death, or do it quickly? Wands are lethal weapons, so learning the 'unforgivable' curses doesn't make you bad. Knowledge is good. Also, what is worse, locking someone in their own body where they can't move, or moving them like a puppet? Both seem equally bad. As for the torture curse, not generally a good thing.

No.

But using them, yes. They're called unforgivable for a reason.

No.

[PocketYoda]

No. it makes you smart.

[Orion Invictus]

Knowledge isn't the problem, and neither is power. It's how you use them that counts.

Except in Harry Potter and some other works. Here, what matters is the caster. Good guys can do the same things as evil wizards and it'll be considered good for them to do those things. There are no good and bad actions, just good and bad people.

[Krys Runsonlattes]

Since I play 'types' when I game, I'm not using the curses unless REQUIRED (when you first get them), but that's wholly me playing a goody two shoes, next play through, all bets are off, and curses are on.

[Supgad]

You're about to learn Confringo? That isn't an Unforgivable, my guy.

[The Tempted Man]

the world doesn't react to player actions whatsoever, so no.
