Anyone else hope morality points aren't in the game? Lightside/Darkside, OpenPalm/ClosedFist, Paragon/Renegade, etc.

I feel like they punish you for not playing to the extremes. In ME, for example, your persuasion and conversation skills are completely dependent on your morality gauge. If you don't play pure paragon, or pure renegade, you're at a disadvantage. This turns the conversations and persuasion skills away from the fun of roleplaying and into the chore of metagaming.

I also think the morality meters oversimplify your reputation and the effects of decisions. One of the things I enjoyed more about Dragon Age than Mass Effect was that Dragon Age didn't have a morality meter.

We have not implemented a morality meter, no. Making morally complex decisions and dealing with the consequences of those decisions on those around you are pretty central to what we feel Dragon Age is all about.
