Awesome.  I loathe simplistic hand-holding systems that tie your characters to black and while rules and "karma" is usually one of the worst.  That's not role-playing to me, that's just following someone else's choose-your-own-adventure bullet point list.  I understand that many people would rather follow the trails set forth by someone else's imagination rather than use their own but karma is usually just way too arbitrary and controlling.  

Complete lack of any system is really not in RPG spirit - as someone who played quite a bit of D&D when I was in high school (back in 80s), alignment is really great way to get into character you've created and stick to his/her view of the world and not your own.

That said, it's not bad idea for game not to define what's right or wrong, but some sort of reputation among diferrent sort of people depending on your actions is desirable IMO.

I think that a good or bad system wouldn't work in this game, mostly because no one will be good, only more or less bad/evil. That said, there could be a system of sorts that takes into account the things you do and if they're necessary or not.

In any case, we alredy saw in the gameplay video from last year that the order in which we take the missions and the decisions we make have consequences that will make future missions easier or harder. And that's the ultimate goal of those moral systems.

Looks like Steam Summer Sale has finally begun.

And, as per tradition, Steam can't deal with all the traffic.
