Very nice article. I often do wonder about these systems as well. One that came to mind while reading was the karma system in Fallout 3. (It was the first Fallout I played). I remember the first time I picked up an object that was revealed with red text to alert me that I would be "stealing" it. I clicked anyway, and that triggered a sorrowful tone and the message "You lost karma!" along with an image of a sad Pipboy (or maybe he was frowning and giving a thumbs down, I can't recall). I ended up not stealing as much throughout the game simply because I didn't enjoy the game "judging" me like that. I guess in terms of the quote you supplied, I saw the game as being preachy.

A question: What experience do you have with the religions mentioned? I would assume you may have grown up with them or at least spent considerable time studying them academically to be confident in your exploration of their themes?

This is correct. +Karma

Ahhh haha! I was reciting to you your own guide! I saw your comment when I first tried out the mod, and ended up using your image guide to set it up, and here I was telling you how to set it up :P I gotta pay closer attention

Do you have DX10 enabled in game? If so, that's the culprit. The game crashes all the time when using DX10 for some reason. Switch to DX9, and then adjust the gamma/brightness/contrast in game to get it to look good (I do a bit to the left for brightness, a bit to the right for contrast, and about half to the left for gamma, and it looks good).
