A Lighter Shade of Grey: Difference between revisions

Line 69:

** If you just focus on Goltana and Larg, it is straight [[Gray and Gray Morality]].

* Both ''[[Fallout 3 (Video Game)|Fallout 3]]'' and ''[[Fallout New Vegas (Video Game)|Fallout New Vegas]]'' revolve around this conflict. It's less obvious in 3 as the Brotherhood act mostly as white knights, but are capable of doing very unpleasant things, such as murdering Ghouls on sight and killing civilans outside of Megaton. But not on the same scale as the Enclave who plan on killing anyone with even the slightest form of mutation. The NCR are often greedy and corrupt, but in contrast to Caesar's Legion, an evil empire that endorses slavery, child soldiers, rape, paedophelia and torture, they seem like saints.

** In Fallout 3's DLC The Pitt, the main conflict you must invariably choose a side in is a conflict between an [[Anti Villain]] and an [[Anti Hero]]. On the one hand there's Lord Ashur, who uses slave labor guarded by raiders to revive the steel mills in the ruins of old world Pittsburg, but who plans to free the slaves once The Pitt is its own superpower, as well as finding a cure for the sickness that turns the inhabitants of The Pitt into troglodytes. On the other hand, there's Werner, Ashur's former lieutenant who wants to free the slaves of Ashur's rule (and has the support of the people), but does it primarily so that he can rule The Pitt in Ashur's stead. Werner is in fact the one who brings in outside help (read: you) to tip the scales in his favor, and he conveniently fails to mention the whole "controlling The Pitt" thing, not to mention the {{spoiler|cure for the trog disease is within Ashur's own infant daughter.}}

* One notable situation is ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', where it is scientifically proven that the debate over which faction (Alliance or Horde) is this will never end. Both factions have had their good and bad moments.

** As of Cataclysm, the Horde's grey is darkening at an astonishing fast pace.
