2-Which brings me to my old question: who's the smartest amongst the teens? 1-The real problem isn't so much that it's simplified, but rather that it, for starters, hurts roleplaying, and second of all, is stupid in practice. You can kill millions, but help some grannies cross the street and you'll go from serial murderer to angel on earth. And vice-versa.

And trying to remain Neutral is even more stupid, since it's basically "do something good then something bad to reverse it", a logic that is stupid and makes the MC end up like some insane bypolar sociopath more than a Neutral character.

As for how it hurts roleplaying, well, it generally encourages being full good or full evil, with rarely there being anything worthwhile (or at all) between both sides. "Neutral" often offers so little, if at all, that it's just not worth it. Most of the time it doesn't even change the ending.

Which is why it's much better to, at least, go with an morality system that doesn't follow Good-Evil, like a Lawful-Chaotic alignment, or even better, have no morality system at all, instead letting you morally judge everything on your own accord. Like in Dragon Age. Since there is no moral system, you can do many things and whether they are evil or not generally is up to your opinion.

For example, siding with Bhelen and helping him become the new Dwarven King. He's manipulative, cruel, cold, poisoned his father, killed his brother and blamed his other sibling which led said sibling to exile. But, he also recognizes how fucking retarded Dwarven culture and their stupid caste system is and how sooo many things need to change if the Dwarves want any real changes to happen. He even had a child with a castless, normally the lowest of the low.

Which is why I sided with him. As machiavelic as he is, he knows what needs to change, and thus I have no regrets in my decision.

2-.....What does that have to do with anything?

Regardless, definitely not Yang, Ruby or Weiss. Blake is a big maybe, Jaune is a definitive no (at least before V2), we don't know about Nora enough and Ren is also a big maybe.
