Because, the devs were the ones who set up these bullshit stakes to begin with, right? They're the ones who decided to set in stone the things they set in stone. You can't make the Wardens NOT force-conscript you. You can't make mages NOT be oppressed. So you take what you get.

If your characters are not going to be nice to me, I dunno why you'd have this expectation that I would conduct myself by your own moral code. Far from it, I will meticulously chase down every teensy weensy bit of slack you left me and use it to tear the whole narrative apart

Anyway I got to thinking about this because of what I've heard about The Last Of Us Part 2. I'm given to understand these games are linear and cinematic (I wanted to try the first one but it's not on Steam so welp), and therefore makes your protagonist behave in dissonant ways

And like I have not heard of a single character in this game that, in the role of a protagonist, I would feel the slightest qualm about unceremoniously mowing down. And I mean that literally. Not. A single. Character.

The idea that *both* Joel and the Fireflies needed to die (and, I guess, Ellie as well) is... a take

I'm talking from Ellie's perspective here (who doesn't really get a say in Joel's death iirc?)

Oh if you're just saying you're pro-Ellie that's not that hot a take One reason TLoU 2 is so upsetting to people is that it forces you to actually play as Abby yourself, which means *no matter what* the game must end with you "failing"

Yeah see from everything I keep hearing about Abby, if TLOU2 were a tabletop RPG my character would not simply kill her but kill her in the most sadistic and tortuous way possible because I have seen inside her heart and determined I want to cut it out

That's pretty much what Abby does to Joel, ha.

No, lobotomizing her would be cruel, they were going to kill her and cut her brain to pieces
