The Five Best Things About Jade Empire

Good and evil is a theme BioWare has seemed fascinated with for some time. Jade takes things a step further than KOTOR by offering more shades of grey. There are two philosophies you can choose to live by: The Way of the Open Palm or The Way of the Closed Fist. One is "good" and the other "evil". In truth, however, it's not so much like Light and Dark Side as it is about how you want your character to view the world. Open Palm are, well, socialists. They help those in need, give charity to the less fortunate, and would sacrifice themselves for the common man. Closed Fist are more like capitalists. They believe in Social Darwinism, survival of the fittest, a dog-eat-dog world. Your characters alignment has great affect on many areas of play, including side quests, available party members, NPC reactions, and, of course, the final outcome of Jade Empire.
