Strap Yourselves In Serpent in the Staglands Shadorwun: Hong Kong Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag. Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth
I dunno, I thought the Dark Side powers were using way too much mana if your PC is Light Side. Spamming Lightning isn't as viable because you have to go through, like, 3/4 of the combat encounters with insufficient mana.
You can stack wisdom to such a high degree to make it not an issue. :M
Or you can beat them all bare-handed. No wis/darkside/bright side required.

This War of Mine. This game could be really hard going. All the good stuff we enjoy, like shooting people or clubbing them to death? These violent acts have really profound effect on your characters. They get depressed and talk about how guilty they feel.
There's currently a bug in the game that makes it really hard to be a good guy. Building a heater makes your people get sicker now, so it's nearly impossible to get enough meds without stealing and killing people. Supposedly, this bug is going to be fixed within a few days, but right now, it's a game where it's not easy being good.

The only one I can think of is one of the Fable games (2?), where if you resist giving in to the bad guys you permanently lose xp. Not a great game, but I thought this particular bit was really provocative as it made standing up for yourself a real decision.
Any others?
There is a quest in Fable 2 where you must sacrifice either your age or someone else's. Not sure what's the reward in a "good" choice.

I remember playing a lightside character with force drain or dark side character with force heal. It made beating sion easy.
