Yeah the "pick a path and stick with it' makes your choices meaningless and they become just an exercise in maxing out the bar in one direction.
Its a very forced kind of binary morality.

But now that gets me thinking how else it would be done. Dole out powers/morality perks depending on major storyline choices? Give good/evil points to buy the powers from seperate skill trees? Or mostly seperate it from gameplay and make it heavily affect story progression, and that determines your powerset.

The problem I think is balancing it so that each style is as viable as the other, and pure good/pure evil arent clearly the best gameplay option.

It's too bad in the end they decided to try and both have Augustine be a huge rear end in a top hat, but also on the other hand really care about people and want to protect them. They succeeded too much with the first to make the latter believable. Maybe if her concretestone mask started falling apart gradually all throughout the story progression and it became apparent she had emotions before the last 2 story missions.

Or maybe that's what happened and I'm not very perceptive? Always a possibility.

She's not-magneto.

Yeah but she's working with little oversight on her actions, seeing as shes got a major city on lockdown, was able to easily declare both martial law and at-will suspension of rights, and apparently hella funding since she can mess about having all these Core Relays and drones just all about.

She could have had her own off shore GenoshaGuantanamo and built a conduit city there.
