Which campaign setting has a black and white morality to it?

If you can't tell, when someone like to inject opinion as fact regarding my setting it really tends to get under my skin. ;)

I was giving my opinion, not fact - hence "seems to me" - I've tried to run Forgotten Realms but it always degenerated into a slaughter-the-annoying-NPCs hackfest. I've read a few FR books - maybe a dozen or so Salvatores, the Horde trilogy and Darkwalker on Moonshae. I admit that Darkwalker didn't really fit the Realms stereotype but it predated the release of the Realms boxed set, also it (and Salvatore's The Crystal Shard) predated the 2e TSR Ethics Code which IMNSHO warped the Realms into the Disneyland place it seems (to me) to be today.

Neverwinter - Neverwinter Nights & the lead NPC Lady Aribeth. Of course you could say it's only a CRPG. :) Still, Toril to me is a very Larry Elmore-art place and the female NPC write-ups in my 1e Forgetten Realms set almost all seem to fit this kind of archetype, alien to both Tolkienesque high fantasy and Howardesque swords & sorcery.
Ah I get it so if its in a video game, then it must be true for the entire setting. Show me a video game where the females don't have a double D and no waist and I'll show you a video game no one plays. :)
