Do you enjoy being evil ? Overall do you enjoy characters being evil or are you just opposed / dont enjoy the idea or playing of it

I love going to the dark side , it gives a lot just like being good does.

Also : do you think there comes a "point of no return" or can any character turn around

Do you think being a vampire makes you "bad" ?

And which people in the game / acts do you consider truely evil?

IMHO, the developers aren't trying to represent good vs evil, but to encourage players to see and embrace the shades of gray in that world/realm and make choices on how much of the gray within themselves they are willing to get in touch with.

Thats what I like about RPGs, mALX. They're not linear. Instead of going for the obvious choice, you can say, "Well, I WANT this, so how can I get this? How could I justify getting this?"


Interesting. Both of these are great points. As long as I've been playing RPGs, neither of these realizations have ever occured to me, not the way you two have put them just now.

Oblivion is the first RPG I've ever played, it was a stunning and eye-opening game and experience for me to roleplay in a game. I can't go back now, lol.
