For most games, the evil path is only created so the player technically has a choice, so they feel like they played a role in the path they took. In reality, most of the time there is truly only one fully developed path and the developers knew which you would take.

I don't want to call it lazy, because it isn't and is just a smart use of resources. However, when a game actually fully fleshed out the evil path it is a work of wonder.

I've noticed that, too, that often the "choice" is really a choice between doing content or not doing content. Sometimes this is true outside of good vs evil choices, too. Do you help this person? If you say no you just don't get that mission. There's no fallout by not helping someone in other words.

I'd love to see more RPGs play with that (and I say that understanding how complicated and big of a task it is to do that)

Fingers crossed the remaster doesn't end up being hot garbage.
