The Moral Compass is Broken Roads’ unique take on morality and alignment. It allows characters’ morality to gradually shift based on the player’s actions and decisions. Pivoting around a central point, and represented by a golden arc called their ‘World View’, players are able to choose dialogue and quest options from within that golden arc.
Recently we made some changes and additions to the Moral Compass design, both in terms of functionality and the specifics of the moral quadrants in place. In this post, we’ll run through these recent design decisions and the addition of ‘moral memory’. In a follow-up blog we will be detailing various functionality specifics, as well as a deeper dive into each quadrant.
