Podcasts about morality systems

To take a bunch of different moral decisions in a game and count them in some way as if they're related, comparable, or calculable requires a “morality system”.   In part 1 of our exploration of morality systems, we looked at various types of morality systems and why it was so hard to quantify or even organize morality in the first place.  In part 2 we'll look at how philosophers might try to count morality, check out Ultima IV's unique virtue-based morality system, and see if we can count responsible ethical decision-making instead of being morally right or wrong.   Follow/like us on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube  You can find all of our episodes, videos, and the Video Games Ethics Resources Center at our website https://ethicsandvideogames.com We're always looking for new ethical issues to explore in future podcasts, so if you've got an idea or an ethical issue involving video games that you think would make for a good podcast, please let us know!  Contact us at ethicsandvideogames.com or email us at contact@ethicsandvideogames.com.  We'd love to hear from you!

It's one thing to design a game where the player is forced to make moral choices, and another to systemize those choices so that they're collectively integrated within the game somehow.  To take a bunch of different moral decisions in a game and treat them as if they're related, comparable, or calculable requires a “morality system”.  In this episode we look at some of the common ways morality systems work.   Follow/like us on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube  You can find all of our episodes, videos, and the Video Games Ethics Resources Center at our website https://ethicsandvideogames.com We're always looking for new ethical issues to explore in future podcasts, so if you've got an idea or an ethical issue involving video games that you think would make for a good podcast, please let us know!  Contact us at ethicsandvideogames.com or email us at contact@ethicsandvideogames.com.  We'd love to hear from you!

In this episode, Joel and Tim discuss some of the ways politics interact with games, and some of the ways different games have portrayed morality, through systems and narrative. Topics Discussed: Morality in narrative branching choices (KOTOR, Jedi Academy) Gradient / reputation systems (Fallout, RDR) Frostpunk's assumption that survival requires -- and is worth -- moral compromise Restorative Justice (wherein we miss the opportunity to say, "He repented but it was something of a Tolkien gesture") and RDR2 Unapologetic storytelling by Bethesda in Wolfenstein 1 and 2 vs cowardly corporate hedging by Ubisoft in Farcry 5 and the Division 2 Does a game have a moral responsibility to tell the truth? If so, is that more or less than any other art form? "Liberal" impulse to censore vs conservative impulse to erase See also: Between the World and Me, by Ta-Nahesi Coates Wolfenstein 2: Confrontational Black Panthers and very reasonable Nazis, by Rob Zacny at Vice
