I've not played the latter, but I enjoyed that the former subtly but undeniably makes it your actions pushing the plot.

Like, yes, the game tells you to go deeper into Dubai at the start... But you still felt that was an entirely natural thing to do even when your original order was to not

Yeah, &the spore zombie game does sort of the opposite, taking you out of the perspective of the main character, even switching main characters, and then presenting the kind of binary moral choice that provokes debate and usually gives players a choice, but not letting you choose

It would be like if Walker could only fight to the end against the rescue team

Well, I mean, the point of SotL is any meaningful moral choice is already over by then Not that it doesn't *matter* whether Walker kills himself or kills the rescue team members but it's a drop in the bucket at that point

IIRC, you also can't surrender to the rescue team. Ie There's no way to be an unambiguously good person once you've got that far

You can let them kill you though, and that counts as finishing the game

No, you can You have to stand there and let the guy arrest you, you get a button prompt to drop your rifle

The fact that this (along with all the other "good" responses to the set pieces) isn't prompted unless you just try it out is probably the point, I guess

Yeah the reason the situation is so tense is that Walker, in the throes of his madness, for whatever reason simply will not lay his rifle on the ground and put his hands in the air as soon as he sees the rescue team, even though that's what you're supposed to do

You have to let the guy walk up to you and let him physically take the rifle from you

(It's a video game, you can't just drop a weapon on the ground wherever, you can only do it by swapping with another character)

Yeah, I read the "you're supposed to do" to mean, in actual militaries. It's not an option in FPSs, ergo the player doesn't do it, they do what FPSs are geared for - shooting people
