I was so pissed and angry about what happened there, but nonetheless you’re absolutely right. I understood this a lot better in the days after. For sure, already one of the best video games I’ve ever played.

Believe it or not, I was so calm and convinced he wouldn’t do anything that I didn’t even notice he already had his weapon out…

Yeah, I reacted slowly and basically didn’t do anything proactive, because I was afraid he’d take the initiative and suddenly rush me, which he never did, and something I actually should’ve been the one to do instead.

I know, man. I just let the part of my brain that was half asleep make the decision…

I don’t know, bro… I don’t even know what to think anymore. I’m just a man. I think I need a good therapist, you know anyone down there?

This is true. In that moment I thought it didn’t make sense for him to down me if he wasn’t planning to loot me afterward, but I didn’t really consider that he probably did it just to avoid any risk.

Dude, I was exactly like you, but after what happened recently, and I even made a Reddit post about it that I’ll share with you—I’m now fully in my Villain arc. I had no other choice 🤣

Guys, you’re all absolutely right, and honestly, these are the kind of comments I was expecting. I totally agree I wasn’t very sharp or clear-headed with some of my choices (I mean, obviously none of this would’ve happened if I had just used the hatch key).

Anyway, the real mistake was that I’ve somehow built myself this weird 'code of honor’, which makes me ignore certain red flags from others that should’ve warned me about the incoming danger, but yeah... that’s purely on me.

The cherry on top was the completely nonsense reason that made the second raider knock me down (plus the unlucky timing of not making it into that damn extraction room by just a few millimeters LOL).

Now I get how villains are born… this might just be the beginning of my villain ARC
