Yes, that's a much more mature and sophisticated way to look at it. I just remember my 10 year old self feeling personally attacked when she said "why did you do such a thing?" ,reloading the game and choosing the other option in order to please her, only to be met with "why did you do such a thing?".
I too was obsessing over gaining positive influence, with being a party-pleaser, and playing either radically light or dark characters. Not dark males though, that's a big no-no. I felt having more freedom of choice playing females, and really love that "screwed-up" outward appearance dark ladies had. Looks so powerful... and willing to exercise power and control over others.
"You two, give me all your credits and jump into the pit behind you."
Atton shows disobedience, Exile shows her proficiency with Force Choke.
I'm melting already, so as HK-47.
But the problem is actually in the simple dualistic approach of the game and Star Wars universe in general.
That's why I enjoyed KoTOR 2 more, not just because of improved (overpowered) crafting & upgrade system, and more force powers. First one felt too two-sided, main character is either a hero or a villain. In sequel you're trying to hide from the assassin army, led by a sith lord who seems to sleep with vibroblades, while inadvertently devastating a dozen of planets with one shot... I couldn't sleep for an hour yesterday because I was so agitated by TSL memories.
She has a point and is the most complex character in the game and I've started to appreciate her more as I grew older and replayed the game.
I used to carry an old bag for experience boost and because she with Visas were the only magic followers (or so I thought) in the game, but yeah, I feel so excited to make another playthrough with my current perspective/level of understanding language, abstract ideas and concepts, and finally not in Russian translation.
Yeah, if she were my grandma or something I wouldn't be this mess that I am now.
Word :)
Thanos was too soft with human population, and wasn't able to capitalize on his grave mistake. He should've gone for the head.
the problem of consciousness - the hard problem, mind-body problems, free will etc
I'm not sure if it's even wise on my side to even attempt to grasp such complex problems. DC of cracking these nuts is probably higher than that of resisting Plague. I'll look for some audio content to listen so the whole trip to the grocery store wouldn't be such a waste of time.
