The Wolf Among Us

 How does morality influence the choices you make in the
game?

Morality in the Wolf Among Us is easily distinguished between empathetic or apathetic responses. For example in the very beginning Toad complains about the hassle and complications of fables being constantly in glamour for the lower class, and you can choose to sympathize with Toad and tell him you'll let him off the hook, or you can reprimand him and threaten to send him to the 'Farm' the next time you meet. The primary response the game is trying to rope from us, is our desire to prove Bigby Wolf as a sincere individual to the townsfolk, a goal that is shared by Bigby himself as sated in the Book of Fables. Alternatively, we can flip this narrative and play Bigby as if he never changed from his old ways and gladly, even find pleasure in hurting others. The character's responses seem programmed to reprimand Bigby for every action in the game, trying to prompt you to redeem Bigby to them, however it can get tiresome and naggy at times.
You are expected to empathize with the denizens of Fabletown as they experience common lower class social problems such as never getting help from the government, the powerlessness of being essentially invisible citizens, thus their problems are seen as invisible, poverty, and government corruption. Even if the player has not experienced these hardships themselves, they are morally expected to sympathize with these very real world problems and attempt to try make life for the Fabletown citizens better. The game expects your first playthrough at least, to show that despite having the most supportive intentions and trying hard as you might to make morally right choices, life doesn't always go swimmingly and misfortune still befalls these people just like in real life, such as despite all the help you're offered to give Toad, the money, and promise of a second chance to afford a glamour and continue to live in Fabletown, through enforcement of law Toad is still forced to be evicted from his property with his son into the Farm, a place described as a prison. This disregard of moral choices affecting certain characters storylines makes it difficult to be properly motivated to make empathetic choices if all it's going to do is give characters false hope, thus my second playthrough of the game made it easier to be more stern and apathetic to Toad, in attempt to give him no pretenses that he would be exempt from the rules. The morality of following the rules as opposed to following your instincts is also challenged in this game, as multiple times if you do exactly what Snow White says in order to appease her, effectively the law, you're called her 'lap dog' and Georgie even wishes you'd 'come to your senses' if you choose to chase him first instead of the Crooked Man, where your choice to complete the specified, but not the most important objective, results in characters calling you an obedient dog sent to where it's told. Ergo this game encourages you to make moral choices over what path to take as opposed to the path you're explicitly told to take.
