Morality systems never work right. Look at Fable, you get good points for killing bandits. You could spend hours, slaughtering every innocent person in some town, racking up evil point after evil point. Then when you step outside and kill a bandit, which you need to do to survive, you are awarded good points. You weren't killing him because he was a bandit, you were killing him because he would attack you, and you like killing things. Morality is such a complex issue. Intent and method come into play, and it cannot be properly represented in a one dimensional meter of good/evil. Much better would be a reputation system. Although this still bases things only on actions, it allows each action to be judged as good and bad by different groups at the same time. Looking back at the Fable example: imagine if each time you killed a bandit, your reputation with bandits dropped, but your reputation with townspeople grew. It's one action, but each group views that action differently. Fallout attempted to do this to an extent, but I feel it could have been better executed. This is how I hope the factions in Destiny will work. I don't want factions to be a direct player choice. I want each faction to have a set of values, and as you complete missions and perform other in-game actions, your reputation with these factions changes. Some, if not all, of these values should be mutually exclusive, so that you cannot appease all factions at the same time. Only after you've gained a high enough reputation with a particular faction are you invited to join. That way, your faction membership actually means something about how you play the game.
