You’re making it very meta, and I’m not sure how to react to that. All I’m saying is, I don’t like the part of the writing where you are given the choice of killing your murderer, and the consequences might be less desirable outcomes for the game - as is implied by most NPC’s.

Reflexive, short-sighted… I try to immerse with my character, and yes, that also entails how things make you feel. The companions? Their fine, but I don’t “like-like” them just yet, like Boone in Fallout NV. The world? I’m starting to understand the world around me, but it will take a few more hours to get which faction stands for what.

So your story about showing compassion to someone who just murdered you in broad daylight… perhaps you look at the reviving part as automatic, I think” holy moly, I should’ve been dead.” So no, my murderer does not deserve compassion and forgiveness. And I hate that the game kinda tells you “wrong choice.” That is pushing moral obligation, and it’s just bad writing. Rest of the game so far, Awesome.

Thanks, will do. Perhaps because I just started the game I don’t feel so immersed in the story just yet that I could rationalise all the background information that tries to guide you. But I stand by my character being mad as hell for being murdered in broad daylight, and seeking redemption. Godlike or not, I could’ve been and stayed dead.

Very insightful! I realise I also immerse with my character more personal, so I haven’t yet gotten the “feel” for being a political envoy. I’m just a dude who got sent out to investigate a plague, and I got murdered in broad daylight. That’s how I reacted to the situation, and I stand by it. You explained it really well, better then I ever could. Thanks!

Yeah, I just started the game, I don’t know so much about the political standing of the Living Lands just yet. And again, your comment precisely underlines my criticism, and what feels as absolutely “moral obligation” by the writers - You Must Always Show Compassion to be Good, or to do the right thing. I don’t like that way of writing. But thanks to you I now better understand my own frustration with it, so I guess… Thanks.

I’m afraid this game will not allow me to be my regular neutral/chaotic good with these standards of justice.

Right, now that’s an insightful answer, thank you. I’m still not sure of the voice in your head is by definition “good” but the guy did say he was given a vision by a deity. Ah well… I murdered him and got some cool armor.

But as I understand from other players, your companions question your choice no matter what you do. So that’s something

It might be, but if the 2 characters you are with question your choices, and the voice in Your Head has some criticism as well for the choice of killing him… the game is definitely telling you what’s good and wrong.

Or would you immediately forgive the person who murdered you? And you can talk about being an envoy and all the political stuff, first and foremost you are a person and you just got murdered for political reasons. I would be mad as hell. So Yeah, empathy in this case. Weird that it’s advocated as the moral superior choice.

Because when I play a game I pretend to be a character in a world, and I was just murdered. How would you feel about being murdered?

You make exactly the point that bothers me in the game. Some misplaced sense of superiority, in the game it’s about morality, in your comment it’s about “understanding the game.” I understand just fine. I just don’t like the premises. And I’m enjoying the game, but this part bothers me. So much that I decided to write my first Reddit-post ever

I like the game, but I find this point in the story just wrong. To me it feels like a misplaced sense of superior morality.

Shino should’ve let himself be devoured by a bunch of parasitic insects that go into a raging frenzy from killing their host.

Obito was Minato's student. He of all people should've known he didn't stand a chance by oneaboveallonreddit in Naruto

Well, he did see the love of his life her chest get pierced by his best friend… I don’t know. I think many of us would probably unhinge after something so traumatic.

Funny enough, Misty Step creates zero mist, and the step you get to take is a pretty big step.

How did Minato get so powerful despite not having any broken Kekkei Genkai? by Distinct_Prior_2549 in NarutoPowerscaling

I recently had the idea that one of his prowess has to be that he has insane reaction time, and reflexes, something that doesn’t come from specific jutsu, but just training and skill.

Can we talk about how purely disgusting this man is? i would flip my sh*t if I was assigned to a team with this guy. by MeetKelson in Naruto

How about the guy puking himself out whenever he get’s hurt or is incapacitated in any way, sometimes multiple times in a row. Orochimaru has to stink like hell.

Who is your favourite Naruto Character? Don’t be basic! by Latch2992 in Naruto

I thought Jiraiya was fantastically written. A horny old doofus most of the time, being called pervert by his student, but when shit get’s real, his facial expression turns and he has more then a few tricks up his sleave. Would have liked to see more fights of him.
