I can understand why they put it in, and I think if they handled it and the chaos system with more finesse than a sledgehammer it might've worked out well. But the problem I have with the system is that they really, really didn't. Especially since they failed to really establish that Weepers are seen more benevolently or less scathingly than plague carriers tended to be historically.

Killing them off enmasse certainly represents a breakdown in basic legality and morality, and I'm not saying hte player should be uncritically lauded for it. But the entire Regency Government is a walking, breathing epitomization of legal and moral breakdown. The Chaos system was said to just measure how bad Dunwall is going to the Hounds, and it doesn't make sense on an objective level that killing plague carriers makes the plague worse.

That's why a more nuanced system tracking more variables than just "Chaos" would probably have handled this better.
