At least in the previous game you could do evil missions while being a good-guy and vice versa. As others have mentioned once you make your first moral choice in the game you're pretty much stuck with it the rest of the game. I think most video games in fact have better stories if they are more linear. introducing multiple choices in a game means you either have to write around the different choices such that the outcomes are always the same or you to write an exponentially larger amount to realistically show the consequences to each and every choice a player makes.


Actually.... In Infamous 2 several of the keypoints in the game WOULD NOT ALLOW YOU to choose the opposite moral choice until you we good/evil enough. Most notably choosing your power and the final choice. Want to gain fire powers? Too bad boy scout. Go kill random civilians until you hit evil level 2. You picked fire and went good guy again? Well now you have ice powers, have fun with that.

This was a BIT annoying but it was particularly so at the ending. Because I was good the entire game but then I actually was convinced to go the other way like my up until then ally did. I finally picked it......and then the screen darkened and it said I had to hit 100% evil before I could choose that option. THAT is why I only have the achievement for the good ending. I wasn't spending 2 days or more killing civilians to make myself evil enough to see the other ending from 100% good. I just went to youtube.

I'd have rathered not kill all the conduits and I liked Kia. On top of that though of COURSE it works there was no assurance that the good side plan would. I could have just murdered every conduit and left everyone with the plague. And if a game had followed from the evil ending I'd have still had the ability to become a good guy because that's the basis of infamous. Which I honestly think would make a rather interesting game in and of itself with Zeke gone and a army of super humans behind you. Not sure what they'd have done with it but yeah.
