Tales of Symphonia.... well, Fire Emblem

[OB1]

As in, yeah, there is more of a degree of being able to make moral choices than most games, but it restricts you more than a KotOR or Fable on that front. Maybe they could have put in a more evil way to end the game, instead of the one ending your character has, but really... anyone who would want it to go like that must really hate him (the main character, whose name is The Nameless One because he doesn't know what his name is)...

How can conversations be that fun if it really doesn't offer much, gameplay-wise?

Yeah. Especially like here where you look back at them and realize how hard things like no saving or very limited saving made these games.

Yes.

Well they are movies, not books, so it's not just straight Tolkein... and anyway, Tolkein was writing in a time when it was normal to be more verbose.

Yes.
