Does evil ever win? Should it?

[ QUOTE ]

In the meantime, I'd be happy with them using 'dialogue branch' tech to make Contacts and other NPCs speak to me with fear and respect in their attitudes based on what badges I have or something.

Forget dialogue branching. How about having all the contacts and NPCs speak to you with respect at higher levels? And those of them that aren't powered should fear you as well.

That, in and of itself, is a form of winning. You have made a reputation for yourself. People don't want to mess with you, because you are dangerous.

Edit: Just thought of a place where your badge idea should definitely be implemented. After you complete your patron arc, the other patrons should stop treating you like a nobody and start treating you like a potential rival. And when you get Usurper, they should start treating you as a definite rival, since you just walked into the room with the boss's head on a pike.

Plus, I've ignored police drones dozens of times when they were trying to wipe me out. I don't see how arbiter drones are any scarier.

Once upon a time, I was for some reason, given to the fantasy that the game didn't spawn Vazhilok when you were around any more because you had the souveneir from Doc V's lab, and didn't spawn clockwork around you because you had Synapse's TF badge. This fantasy never was true, but for a long time I thought it was. I assumed any vazh that spawned were 'other people's vazh.'

That's why I set up my own hospital in my base. My characters are not beholden to Arachnos no matter how much the game acts as if they are.

You mean the base you registered with an Arachnos Arbiter, and pay regular rent for? The one tapped into Arachnos' mediport?

That'd be because putting City Guard type mobs as normal ones shouldn't have ever happened. Try the same in Warburg or the RV (don't remember if they spawn there) and compare results.

or good people come on and, beyond your control, fix what you did. You don't win. You can't win.
