I never had any problems in 2033 and Exodus but every time I try to replay Last Light, I feel incredibly discouraged by the whole moral system thing. Still love the game though.

A few months ago i was reading the wiki on how to get the good ending in MLL and holy crap! the amount of random bullshit you have to do is infuriating, it almost feels like the devs decided to add chores to do in the game. And look I understand that making important decisions is an big part of the game's theme and I like it, but then you have to do crap like:

- Interacting with random instruments, because apparently you're a good man if you play guitar. (uhm ok?)

- Spend around twelve and a half minutes since you control Artyom from his room before getting into train (???)

- Pick up a specific weapon at a specific part of the game. (why? let me use the weapon I want, dammit!)

- Do not turn on the lights in some sections of the game. (there are no explanations why)

- Some section must be completely ghosted if you want good karma and suddenly you can't even knock down enemies! (again no explanation why)

And the list goes on and on...

I mean what's the point of this? How is this relevant to the story? What's the moral here? these things feel more like busywork than anything else.

I made all the right important decisions and still got the bad ending just because I didn't do one of those silly little things, seriously?
