Michael: right on.
"Would you say that a thematic game must give the players the opportunity to make that moral choice? (I think I would.)"
Yes. Well, a thematic+participation game (that is, a narrativist game) must, and that's the kind of game I'm interested in. (I suppose a game where the GM makes the moral choices up-front would still be thematic, but that's only half of what I care about.)
Significantly, though: I feel very strongly that a thematic+participation game need not give every individual player the opportunity to make the moral choice for him- or herself. Only the opportunity to participate meaningfully.
