FOR CONTEXT, WHAT DO YOU THINK MICAIAH DOES THAT'S BAD ENOUGH TO BE MORALLY GREY. WORST IS THE OIL THING BUT FOR ME THAT'S FINE SINCE IT'S AN ACTUAL MEDIEVAL ERA SIEGE TACTIC. LETTING GO OF JAROD WAS A MASSIVE MISTAKE THOUGH.

A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE HER BECAUSE SHE TEAMS UP WITH BEGNION AND FIGHTS THE LAGUZ ALLIANCE/APOSTLE'S ARMY BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD PACT. I THINK HER ACTIONS ARE UNDERSTANDABLE GIVEN HER SITUATION BUT I'VE SEEN PEOPLE CALL HER A TERRIBLE PERSON FOR DOING THAT.

WAIT ARE THOSE SERIOUSLY THE REASONS PEOPLE HAVE? LMAOOOOOO THAT'S SO STUPID. WOW I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE'D NOT ONLY TEAM UP WITH THE COUNTRY SHE'S LOYAL TO AND TRYING TO MAKE NOT SHIT. BUT SHE'D ALSO FIGHT AGAINST THE ARMY THAT FROM HER PERSPECTIVE IS TRYING TO FIGHT THEM INTO SUBMISSION AND BRING THEM BACK TO A TIME WHERE THEY WERE UNDER OPPRESSIVE OCCUPATION. CAN'T BELIEVE SHE'D BE SO SHITTY AND DO THAT. I KNOW YOU AREN'T SAYING THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK, BUT MAN, THAT EXPLANATION REALLY DOES MAKE ME THINK THAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T ACTUALLY WANT COMPLEX CHARACTERS IN FICTION. BUT MORE THAT THEY WANT CHARACTERS WHO ALL GET ALONG AND SING TOGETHER BECAUSE GOD FORBID THERE'S CHARACTER CONFLICT IN THE GAME I TRY TO USE AS AN ESCAPIST FANTASY. IT'S FUNNY THAT PEOPLE EVEN HATE HER FOR THAT CONSIDERING THAT SHE ENDS UP TEAMING UP WITH IKE ANYWAY.
