Personally I find it hard to be shocked and disgusted by what I'm doing if there's a prompt telling me to do it. For me to get shocked it takes a lot I'll admit but games need to learn to handle it better. For example the more I look back on it Fallout 3 and New Vegas might be some of the most shocking games I've played in a while. Everything you're doing in the moment is based on survival, everywhere you go is almost by accident, every choice you make shapes you as a person in this world. I was never told to do anything there was no X prompt telling me to kill everyone I meet I chose to, and that's shocking that deep down in me is something much worse than any X prompt telling me hide in bodies.
