You’re not wrong. But I find fallout 4 easier to plan because of this. There’s not enough grey area in 4. Like I usually play a good person with a grey area in New Vegas, but in FO4 that’s a lot harder. So it’s easier to be straight good or straight evil. They still try to make that hard but with such few options you really have to try hard to remain in the grey area. That’s one of the few areas I like about FO4 is that you really only get two options, be evil or be a saint.
FO4 mods give some options to improve a good guy run and some evil ones too. My next playthrough is going to be modded to look like Doom with my character burning it all down. No essential characters!
I don’t even mind essential characters other than Preston Garvey. My issue with FO4 is that the options are only yes or no. You can say yes and fail the mission, so there’s a psuedo third option.
Ehh, I still felt that was too light/dark. Like FONV you could solidly be a grey area person. Kotor gave you options but you either went left or right. It was more about needs. FO4 was very clear on your options. You could sell a child and be evil because by the time you made it to that point, you didn’t need the caps. You could then kill the people you sold the child to, and then get a reward from the parents from returning said child. And the funniest part was that by then, it was a simple choice because you really don’t gain anything by maxing caps.

I liked Kotor’s ability to make all the good choices but pick enough pockets to still do a dark side run.

I just felt less like a sith lord and more like a douchebag most of the time in Kotor.
Very fair.
