My biggest objection with the game right now is that it's extremely difficult to get the game to consider you anything other than a vicious killer if you start out as a Carnivore. This is because after the Cell stage, you're deep in the red already when you start Creature. If you defend yourself at all while running around trying to make friends, you won't get back out of the red. Then in Tribal stage, if you only kill the two tribes that start out outright hostile to you, the end result will be Aggressive.
This means the game does not really reflect your behavior in the traits that it gives you, and since your species changes its personality depending on your traits, it feels extremely wrong. My dudes were immediately yelling for atomic bombs in the Civilization intro when I was doing my best ever since Cell NOT to kill everything that so much as looked at me.
It would make a lot more sense if the stupid morality graph would go back to the middle at the beginning of each stage.
