Study on Ethics and Morality in Videogames
« on: July 17, 2012, 10:10:15 pm »


               Have you played some or all of these videogame series?

Dragon Age
Mass Effect
Fable
Bioshock
Baldur’s Gate
Fallout
The Elder Scrolls

If so, we’d be interested in talking to you as part of a study based at Concordia University about players’ perceptions of ethics and morality in video game play. If you would like to volunteer for an interview or find out more please contact Carolyn Jong at ckjong (AT) mta.ca.

Please note: Participants must be 18 years of age or above.

               To be fair, lots of people keep their undergraduate email address when they start a graduate program elsewhere. Since the named person actually has presented conference papers relating to the post topic (e.g. http://www.scribd.co...gon-Age-Origins), I don't see much cause to suspect the OP is up to anything nefarious.

               Whatever her credibility is it stays offtopic and fable s***. And what has ethics and morality to do with video games. It´s entertainment represented by pixels only and so should it stay for the best imo. I dont know anyone getting horny just because lara croft shows of her pixel boobs...

               I don't know what "fable s***" is, but I agree the games listed in the post may imply the survey isn't especially relevant to NWN. Then again, plenty of discussion on these boards centers on topics that are very clearly related to the OP's topic, such as whether alignment is or should be relevant in NWN modules and PWs, whether quests with a moral component are of interest to players, etc. I'm not looking to rehash those discussions, but just to illustrate that, to the extent the OP is off-topic, it's primarily because the mentioned games do not include NWN, not because ethics and morality in video games isn't of interest to NWN players and content creators.

On the other hand, one might claim the post is a form of spam in asking forum members to check out your academic study on gaming, but that's another grey area. Lots of people link to their PW, or gaming blog, or whatever. and no one seems especially fussed about it. The OP's topic clearly not the kind of outright commercial spam such as we saw a few days ago from freemovie24.
