Having us kill civilians in Oriath Square is tasteless.
"The purpose it serves is to demonstrate the consequences of revolution. There will be breakdown, chaos, death, and a revolutionary must choose that to succeed. It is also to show how the power your character has gained has made you distant from humanity; something I would point out to the OP that you do not need to have establishing dialog for at all. You have to take very special care to not destroy them, especially if you took the relatively easy and popular route to the top of having alot of minions. Their purpose is having no purpose. You get nothing for killing them, nothing for saving them, they are nothing to you. It's not because you're a sociopath, it's because they literally are not beings on the same level as you. Worrying about hurting them is equivalent to how some Buddhists sweep the floor wherever they go so they don't step on bugs. There is no reason to change this and every reason not to. You disrespect the developers' vision simply because it makes you uncomfortable, even though the grotesque remixes of anatomy which were once people just like the ones you're so concerned for didn't give you a twitch. Furthermore, the Trade Manifesto delenda est. Bone Mommy did nothing wrong. I want to join the Syndicate. Last edited by 007Bistromath#2026 on Dec 23, 2019, 10:14:17 AM

Honestly i've never really payed attention to it or noticed it so i'm not sure how it's done here, if it fits in the game or not. And i honestly think if it's done here in PoE it's more of an oversight than anything else, or someone not thinking too far and thought it would be funny.
But, entertainers(in this case game devs) always have a moral responsibility to foster responsible behaviour. You don't kill civillians. Many think not, but they are fools and couldn't tell right from wrong, neither do they care. They are children still, and don't care about the future of the world. Either way they can be ignored as they simply don't understand better and are not morally developed enough to see it themselves. I mean just listen to these babies, they find pleasure in robbing it in the face of OP. They are just babies still, like most computer players are they don't really face challenges in their lives to develop them morally, and their parents arent able to see how they act on the internet to teach them better, but this doesn't mean that developers shouldn't show lead. I am the light of the morning and the shadow on the wall, I am nothing and I am all.

" Now that was a much better argument, IMHO. I do disagree with one assumption you make though. I think the developers intended the killing of civilians to make you feel uncomfortable. The reason I believe this is that I seem to remember a patch note where they mentioned something about making the civilians whine or something to make it more obvious that the civilians were being killed needlessly.

I think it needs to be pointed out that even if you don't kill any citizens, the NPC Karui will attack them if they are able to. Even if you never pressed a button, the NPCs are still telling a story based on how they interact.
It is debatable what the bottom line intention of the harmless NPCs are in Oriath Square, but to say that they have no purpose whatsoever is wrong IMO. |

Corrected. Nevermind. It was too stupid to even take part in this thread...

can we please protect all the animals in the woods? i mean, we actively invade their territory and they're probably just protecting their nests and siblings!
why do we have to kill humans, even if they're labeled as "bandits", there should be a way to negotiate a peace treatment to let us pass unharmed. fun aside, i find it amusing that ggg implemented exactly that in the acts after you finished kitava. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!

" If people living in China kill the citizens then maybe it could hurt their government "social credit score"! " We can be glad that we don't live in China. :-D " Agreed that this was the real intent.

" offtopic, but if you live anywhere in a western country, the gov probably knows the same or more about you than the chinese know about their people. it's just that the chinese start to draw funny consequenes out of peoples misbehaviour which draws more attention to their system. age and treachery will triumph over youth and skill!
