I find it a bit weird that this video takes the position that players overwhelming taking good options is A) a problem B) which should be solved by making the evil options more tempting.

it could be an indication that the choices aren't interesting enough and that's a writing problem at least.

why bother making both if nobody is going to play them?

I think the idea of a morality system where the evil option gives you more stuff, but the good option actively helps people more would work better. People don't actually do evil IRL for the lulz.

But gamers love to min/max and optimize, so if the evil option is more "efficient" then people will just pick that and the idea of evil being tempting would just fall flat.
