Choices are becoming increasingly more important these days, not just in role-playing games, but in gaming as a whole. Some games implement pure black and white, good and evil choices while others play with our intentions and make things a little more ambiguous. Others don't try to present right and wrong as absolutes, and instead ask you to pick a side based on beliefs.

Regardless of how choices are packaged and delivered, one thing is certain: they allow us an outlet through which to express our personality, a way to make our mark in these digital worlds and affect the lives of their inhabitants, much like our choices do in real life.

The world is shaped by different perspectives on morality, and the seven pieces below demonstrate that those perspectives are diverse even among a group of like-minded RPG-lovers like ourselves. And that's the beauty of the whole thing: morality is a choice. So which are you: paragon or renegade?
