What was said about Knights of the Old Republic
Knights of the Old Republic let players turn truly evil through light and dark side choices. BioWare's Star Wars RPG used a light side and dark side moral system. Players could become truly evil, unlike Mass Effect's Shepard, who never betrays the cause.
BioWare replaced this system in Mass Effect with Paragon and Renegade, which gives a choice of methods for a hero rather than a choice between good and evil. Mass Effect's designers pointed to Captain Kirk and Jack Bauer as touchstones for that approach.
