I feel the karma system differentiates the games in a creative way. It makes them feel less cookie-cutter. It's not "the wolf game" and "the lion game" at present, but would feel that way if they shared too many similarities. |

Karma system just doesn't fit here. Spend that time developing something new and interesting. Don't make Wolvden Lioden ! |

Karma system, as it was on lioden, does not fit the overall tone of this game. Lioden's karma-based encounter writing was atrocious. I don't want my wolf to be a death lord or a goody-two-shoe angel king, you know? I just want him to be a cool wolf doing wolf things. I like that wolvden has been quite naturalistic (note: naturalistic, not realistic) in comparison to Lioden in a sense, that acting like a wolf would in nature (for example, killing an injured animal) is not punished as an evil act. |

In addition to that potential problem, the other is, as I mentioned before, that moral choice systems pretty commonly devolve into "be super bad or super good only" because middle ground is just useless. This time I'll directly quote Yahtzee Croshaw, from his Zero Punctuation review of Infamous 2: "as always, the best rewards are reserved for only the biggest saints or the biggest cocks, so altering your attitude is pointless, and they might as well ask you at the start of the game if you're going for a saint or cock run and stop nagging us with the same choice every five minutes" |
