10 Hardest Moral Choices In Recent Video Games
1. How To End The World - Banner Saga 3
Unlike similar games, Stoic's Banner Saga trilogy actually delivered on the promise that your choices would matter by the end. Your emotions are relentlessly tested, but arguably no more so than in the game's finale.
You eventually learn that Eyvind - a main party member for all three games - doomed the world. By using dark powers to resurrect his murdered love, Juno - also a main party member - he unleashed the giant wyrm that now spreads death wherever it goes.
Eyvind must now seal Juno away to contain the wyrm and hold it at bay for eternity. She has to make the ultimate sacrifice for Eyvind's actions. All to save a world already in ruin.
Or you can make a deal with the devil, granting the wyrm dominion over the half the world in exchange for Juno remaining free... to live a life of remorse, severed from the cycle of life and death.
Whatever your choice, was it worth it? To save a dead world or betray half of it to the most evil force in the cosmos? To make a dear friend pay for a crime she didn't commit or let her be free to live an ultimately meaningless life? Dig deep and choose wisely.
