LEGION OF VALOR - Be a part of the Legend!

You know that would totally screw over the people who dislike difficult tasks like reading and spurn common sense right? That sort of thing isn't done in games much anymore. Joe public can't cope.

Seriously though, I get the feeling that they want to make it abundantly clear which road you are going because going back would take a lot of time. That doesn't mean that the consequences of an action have to be simple or boil down to an obvious outcome. Just that you know where your alignment is going to shift as a result.

I know what you are getting at though. The first time I played Dragon Age and made my decision after dueling Loghain...I had no idea that maybe later on I would have liked to reconsider it. It was actually nice to not realize the longterm consequences of my actions.

Well, it's clear that one choice is for the Resistance and one choice is for the loyalists - but does that mean it's always clear what's the right thing to do?
For example, think about the Primal Earth Freakshow mentality, with them raging against "the system" - then think how Praetorians with the same mentality would react to a geuine tyranny? If you're an evil anarchist, who thinks all authority is bad, then just imagine how you'd react to a real dictatorship.
Or, while you might be a jackbooted thug swaggering around and enforcing the dictatorship, the Syndicate, for example, are still an actual criminal organization - so just because you might spend the morning arresting the family of someone who spoke out against Tyrant, that doesn't mean you couldn't spend your afternoon fighting genuine criminals.

This sounds very odd coming from you. How would you survive in this environment?

Head asplode??

By ignoring the subtleties and using lots of winky emotes i imagine.

By following the morally correct path

What if there IS none? What if each path results in innocents getting hurt or killed either immediately or overall as a result of your actions?

Which is the morally correct path then?

The one which harms the fewest people while fighting the dictatorship

It's highly doubtful that's the only part her brain is missing.


P.S. Oh look...I forgot to put a stupid winky at the end of my statement.

Isn't that the hilarious part, though? Even if her ideology is the polar opposite of Emperor Cole's, their propaganda and modus operandi sound the same.
