In this episode of "Pop-Culture Couch," I dive into the psychology of choice and consequence in narrative video games, using "Mass Effect 2," "Fallout: New Vegas," and "Cyberpunk 2077" as case studies. We'll explore how psychological theories such as Rational Choice Theory, Prospect Theory, and Cognitive Dissonance Theory are illustrated through the complex decision-making mechanics and moral dilemmas presented in these games.
By examining key moments and player choices, we reveal how these games engage players in meaningful decision-making processes that reflect real-world psychological principles. Join me on the couch as we uncover the deep psychological underpinnings of our favorite narrative-driven video games.
