Oh yeah, I saw that too, and I figured as much anyways. what I meant by my post was that the yin yang system is, to my understanding, inaccurate to what it really means in Chinese philosophy and religion. Yin and yang are not equal to right and wrong and good and evil, but more equal to opposing forces, neither right or wrong, two sides of a coin, day and night, hot and cold, etc. I guess good and evil could include that, but then which would be good, and which evil? after all, yin supposedly means cold, darkness, night, and negativity, so shouldn’t it be the evil half?
That’s my problem with using yin and yang, as it’s not the same as the black and white morality of good and evil.
On IGN’s site, they have a 15 minute version of this video that has the developer talking over the gameplay. In it he says you can skew your character to be anywhere between the good/evil sides that you want; plenty of gray available!!
My only problem is with the idea of yin and yang. From what I know about the concepts, they are not simply good and evil, but representation of two sides of a being. Yin is the aspects of passivity, darkness, and femininity, while yang encapsulates aggressiveness and activity, light and masculinity. niether is good or evil.
Oh hell yes
