Been thinking about making a game with a simple morality system.

I want it to have hilarious consequences.

There may be several axes of morality, but the overall mechanics of each will be the same.

Each meter will fill up as you do quests, and you will spend/sacrifice the points in order to gain more strength, etc.

I remember that Fallout has the SPECIAL stats system. Strength, Perception, Endurance, etc

I think five meters / axes would be sufficient for this game, and it also occurs to me that a fun lil pentagonal graph would be fun to add.

Dungeons and dragons has its own stats system, and I believe there is also GURPS.

I think I will put this morality system into Oats For My Goats, a 2D dungeon crawler roguelike type thingy.

@dirtycommo My RPG rule system Battles & Balances also has five attributes: https://felix.plesoianu.ro/rpg/battles-and-balances/

@felix hmm!!! Okay, will pick your brains later. Perhaps in the matrix chat, seeing as BASIC?

@dirtycommo Wherever you like!

Maybe GRAIN? I should find one of those acronym generators...

Key features of this morality system:

Your propensity to gather oats, probably this stands in place for luck.

Kindness to animals smaller than you.

How chaotic you are, given you are a goat.

How honest you are, this might be related to who you help, or if you fail quests.

Patience? How long it takes you to finish quests?

@dirtycommo given that it is goats, wanton destruction and chewing on stuff is an important metric
