Dragon Age and Morality

I played a Dragon Age a LOT, but it was only recently I realised something. Dragon Age was the first time I had experienced a realistic and meaningful moral predicament. Let me explain. 
 
I was playing a good character, so every quest I'd play until I was given a choice and then go "Ah! thats the good choice and thats the bad choice" and I'd pick the good choice which to me was pretty clear cut. Thats the problem morality games have had. Moral ambiguity.  
 
**Spoilers past here** During the Dwarven quest line I was presented with backing a specific candidate for king. To me, one was clearly good and one was clearly bad. I made my usual decision, backed the good guy and was done with it. Funny thing was, after I finished the game, the outcome of my actions was quite negative. The King I backed was dead and people were fighting more than before. "Heh" i thought, must be unavoidable. 
 
It was only recently I realised the full extent of the consequences. The good king was old, and traditional, annddd he was (i believe) chosen by the previous king. It just made sense. The other guy was trying to sabotage the good king. Not only that but it was commonly believed that he killed his own brothers to rise in power.
  
During the last PC Gamer Podcast I was listening to their description of the Dwarven origin stories and the caste system and I realised... I had made the WRONG choice. The other candidate was clearly bad, but it was because I didn't understand their culture, I was an outsider. Furthermore he was young, and believed in a casteless system, something that would have freed the people. So what if he was ruthless and a murderer? He was better for the people. I had made a choice, continued with the story and it was WRONG. Dragon Age continues to blow my mind.
