One thing I like about Dragon Age is tht they actually address this in Awakening, where you have the option to help one faction of Darkspawn specifically for the purpose of avoiding genocide."
I already did!
EDIT: And the link won't work.... For the better, I suppose. Looking back... eh....
Doing the game the justice it deserves sounds like a good enough excuse to write something else, and those prompts are pretty tempting....
To each their own, I guess."

And that's to say nothing of the fact that you still recieve ratings as Kelso, despite having no CO or superior of any kind to pass judgement on your work."
The fact that you had to use the word "assume" at all contradicts your point: evidence is supposed to be proof, something you don't have to "assume" or infer a connection to (this is what makes the so-called evidence circumstantial). Again, the game tells you this when Monroe replies, "That doesn't prove anything" and shuts you down. The only reason "Lie" is correct is because he then goes on a tangent about the chief of police and mayor being involved with the Suburban Redevelopment Fund.
"He would have had to sign off on the company using his likeness in the first place..."
Assuming this is even true, then that signed document is the evidence that you would need for "Lie" to be the proper answer. That's proof. Anything short of that is, as you put it, an assumption on Cole's part -- "Doubt.""
"I get so much sneak attack damage with bows and daggers! I can turn into a werewolf! I have 50 points in archery!"
"Those are YOUR reasons; what are HIS reasons? Was his father a hunter? Was he a poacher before becoming a mage? Is that why he was arrested at the beginning?"
"...... :-\"
I can't fathom playing these games like that, but to each their own I guess. My character has backstory, motivations, convictions. I'm not writing a fan-fic novel or anything but I've come up with just enough to give him direction without exploiting the entire game in one go, which, from an in-world perspective, only a true sociopath would do.
EDIT: But it does sound like your Orc has a more interesting time than my Breton. After hearing about everything that's happened to Morrowind since Oblivion, I regret not choosing a Dark Elf. Next time, I suppose...."
