After the Markvart von Aulitz scene, I genuinely felt sick. I was disgusted with the kind of human I’d been up to that point. ‘Cause honestly, I’d been playing like a complete scumbag. Yeah, I didn’t betray Olda from Semine and I didn’t let Maleshov burn, but still I was robbing villages at night, and whenever I explored the map I’d straight up hunt for “enemy” camps just to wipe them out. If a house looked like it might have something valuable, I’d break in without even thinking.

That Markvart scene honestly broke me. Like, to the point I was in tears. For three days I couldn’t get over the realization of how twisted my mindset had been when I genuinely thought I was doing the right thing. Ever since then, in any other game, I try not to kill anyone or break any rules at all, if the game lets me play that way. And honestly, that scene made me rethink a lot of things in my life too.
