These games are so much fun, too bad we won’t get more of them.

I too remember feeling liberated by the lack of chaos system but it made me reevaluate the franchise in general. Later I’ve returned to previous games and saw that in practice that morality system was very, very benign. I’ve tried to only reload when I’m killed and fought my way out of every failure. And even on the highest difficulty setting D1 is fine with you having fun and murdering a lot of guards. It seems that you get the bad ending if you go out of your way to murder guards you can easily sneak by as well as civilians.

I think Prey was much better in forcing you out of your comfort zone. DOTO removes fear of getting bad ending (the horror!) but I still had fallen into the safe-but-boring sneak and choke routine. If you can sneak past a guard then you can sneak behind him and choke him, and why won’t you make sure that guard won’t bother you anymore? The last level was actually refreshing cause choking was not an option and you had no moral qualms at all cause you fought some chtonic beasts. But you also didn’t get much from using the only unique power in that level.

Prey expansion was much better in that regard but it’s a very different game, more like Heat Signature or something.
