I find that run of the mill moral questions like "will you choose to act like an out of control sociopath or selflessly help others?" or "betray or follow your initial school/religion/whatever?" don't do anything for me. I've already moved on so it doesn't seem to tingle me in some special place like it seems to for others.
Rather than moral questions of that kind, what I do enjoy however is an exploration of less binary philosophical concepts about how to live one's life. Lessons to live by, mindsets you can adopt for yourself, etc. FFXI for example has the habit of giving you little insights into how to think in a way which suits the class you just unlocked, lore wise.

If you can get any reflexive cringe out of the way at the idea of applying those, I am certain that both are mindsets one can learn to live by, whether in games or real life. And I like that.
