Zusammenfassung:Moral decision making systems have long been a popular and widely discussed part of computer games; especially in—but not limited to—role-playing games and other games with strong narrative elements. In this article, an attempt will be made to draw a connection between historic and recent concepts of karma and moral decision making systems in digital games, called ‘karma systems'. At the same time, a detailed analysis of one such system (that of Mass Effect 2) will be provided.
