I like these kind of stats, they're neat. I do a good playthrough first before being evil, I wonder if many like me skew the Grove stat.
I know plenty of people are like me and come out of a game session feeling gross and with a slimed soul when they go evil in a game.
Yes, I know it's just pretend an has no real life consequence, but after Dark-siding all over these fictional people, I feel like I need to go out and help grannies cross busy intersections for a few hours in atonement lol
The guilt is real. I struggle to play evil because I feel so bad.
I tend to start with a good playthrough because most games aren't designed well enough to accommodate a worthwhile evil playthrough. It's often less interesting and contains less content, which may be realistic (it's usually better to make friends than enemies) but rarely satisfying. I'm hoping this game will be an exception.
Though I might still go evil in this playthrough. I chose the Dark Urge for my character (wanting to see what the redemption story looked like) but now I might have put myself into the reverse of the usual situation - not being evil might actually be hampering my enjoyment currently.
