The standalone Ultima games have done something like this using Tarot cards
and a gypsy to determine which of the Virtues is primary for the player, and
thence which class they start uot as. At each pair of cards you are
presented an ethical dilemma with two presented answers, each favoring one
of the eight virtues.
