   I don't know which is worse, between what you describe and all of the   
   RPG/ActionRPG/MMORPGs that came out that generation that let you choose   
   "light" by being a sucker or "dark" by being a complete jerk.  There's   
   no subtlety and intrigue in games. The game companies must use up all of   
   that creativity with their business plans.

   Scott - Not being sarcastic at all, now.  And I really would love to see   
   a logical progression of Ecco DoF.
