I'd like to request recommendations (spoiler free!) for games where you need to make choices, take sides, kill or not kill someone, follow or do not follow orders, but where the consequences actually matter - and most importantly, where the choices aren't "obviously good choice vs obviously bad choice".

Give me games where I can choose to side with one kingdom or another, but there's no clear moral high ground, or where I need to decide to save someone dear to me at the cost of innocent lives. I do not want things like "save all the children and get the happy ending and make flowers grow" versus "kill everybody and everything blows up and the world gets all its water replaced by acid".

What games fit this requirement?

I mean it also fucks up the city if you kill the community pillars.

Yeah, tanking a district makes that area harder and doesnt feel great; however, if you don't kill any of them, the combat is really hard because you're under levelled. So you have to make moral judgements and choose who is "best" to kill.

I mainly remember totally fucking up helping that nurse save that homeless guy, and I tried to go back so I could do it right and the game specifically tells you to live with your choices.

I like it. Roll with the consequences of your actions, be they accidental or not, but I can see how that can be frustrating for some
