I like how Outer Worlds tried to flip a morality system on it's head but ended up wussing out.

It did flip it if you play the dumbest character possible though. That was actually the most unique thing about the game tbh

Are you counting morality systems that are just "You didn't cross the point of being absolutely insane yet"

Ogre Battle March of the Black Queen has a Reputation system that served the same purpose. Game actions caused it to change as well as choices during social events.

It was a reputation meter though, not a morality meter. It represented your popularity among the common people and sometimes you needed to do traditionally bad things to make the reputation go up.

For example early on you defeat a boss named Deneb. After beating her you can choose to forgive her for her crimes or you can imprison her for life. If you forgive her she joins your party and can recruit pumpkins (not a bad unit) but your reputation goes down because Deneb was so horrible that no one likes that you forgave her.

Are you only counting morality systems that aggregate your choices and give you an ending out of two options? There are plenty of games where you are given decisions like being charitable vs practical, being ruthless or holding yourself to morals, and plenty of games that give fairly realistic consequences of these actions (e.g. if it's not a crime, you won't actually be punished and it will often make your life easier, but the people you wronged might hate you; acts of selflessness may in fact not result in personal gain). KOTOR and KOTOR 2, despite some very binary story forks (like KOTOR 1 definitely goes with "literally the spawn of Satan or Good Guy Who Saves Everyone" as the choices for the ending fork), have many, many gray options and paths where there is no clear best choice.

An example is a trial in KOTOR where you can go in with video of what happened in the incident and immediately announce that your client is guilty, or you can manipulate a victory, or you can just make only truthful claims but also cross-examine everyone and maybe still lose but also reveal every actor's motives which changes the case's nature and the sentence as a result. There are many instances where being unwilling to lie or hide your motives even for a moment results in terrible outcomes because the other actors have no reason to respect that.

In the Witcher series there are many instances where you decide the fates of criminals and despicable people who beg for mercy and a chance to reform, and the consequence of the choice is basically just what it says on the tin; if you're optimistic and willing to easily forgive, sometimes the other party will appear later as actually reformed, sometimes they'll commit another crime, sometimes they'll just break their promises and flee.

Dont know what you mean TC. But well infamous has a good morale system. Knights of the old republic has one. Fable had a cool morale system .

Spec Ops The Line is old but I'll always remember how it baited me into shooting into the angry mob instead of in the air to scare them

Fallout New Vegas is pretty good at this. It's more faction/reputation than straight up morality, but the game has multiple endings for each main faction, a number of locations, and all possible followers, that are determined by a number of factors for each ending.

Each dlc also does the same thing for your actions in the dlc.
