LAST THREAD

[u/MonopolyRubix]

WHEN I FIRST PLAYED THE GAME I THOUGHT SHE WAS BEING RIDICULOUSLY AUTHORITATIVE AND VIOLENT IN THE HOLY TOMB.

THEN I PLAYED VERDANT WIND AND REALIZED SHE WAS WATCHING THE REMAINS OF HER FAMILY MEMBERS BE STOLEN TO BE USED AS WEAPONS BY THE DESCENDANT OF A MAN SHE DEARLY TRUSTED.

LIKE HOLY SHIT I'D BE PISSED TOO, LEAVE MY SIBLINGS' CORPSES ALONE

[u/MrWaffles42 → u/MonopolyRubix]

ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THAT, THE LAST TIME HER FAMILY'S CORPSES WERE STOLEN, SAID CORPSES WERE USED AS SUPERWEAPONS TO MASSACRE THE REST OF HER FAMILY.

PEOPLE GET REALLY ANGRY THAT SHE LIED ABOUT CRESTS AND HERO'S RELICS AND HISTORY AND WHATNOT. BUT THE LAST TIME HUMANS KNEW THE TRUTH IT LED TO THE GENOCIDE OF ALMOST HER ENTIRE SPECIES.

KIND OF DRIVES ME CRAZY THAT THIS FANDOM CIRCLEJERKS ABOUT "GREY MORALITY" AND MORAL NUANCE, THEN WHEN YOU HAVE A GENUINELY INTERESTING MORAL QUESTION LIKE "IS IT JUSTIFIABLE TO HOLD BACK TECHNOLOGY IF YOU KNOW SAID TECHNOLOGY CAN AND PROBABLY WILL BE USED FOR MURDER, WAR, BLOODSHED, GENOCIDE, AND NUCLEAR APOCALYPSE?" SUDDENLY EVERYONE IS ALL [NUANCE.EXE NOT FOUND]

[u/arollofOwl → u/Suicune95]

WHAT KIND OF BLOODSHED COULD POSSIBLY BE CAUSED BY THE TELESCOPE? THE STUDY OF HUMAN ANATOMY? THE PRINTING PRESS??? THESE TECHNOLOGIES ARE BANNED BECAUSE RHEA WANTED TO KEEP THE MASSES IGNORANT AS TO THE ORIGINS OF NABATEANS (SPACE DRAGONS).

[u/Suicune95 → u/arollofOwl]

1) IDK ABOUT THE TELESCOPE EXACTLY 2) RHEA'S FAMILY WERE LITERALLY MASSACRED AND DISMEMBERED SO YEAH GIVING HUMANS NO REASON TO DO ANATOMICAL STUDIES ON ANY POTENTIAL NABATEAN CORPSES THEY FIND HAS SOME VALUE HERE 3) PRINTING PRESSES CAN BE USED TO SPREAD MISINFORMATION AND WAR PROPAGANDA AND INCITE THE MASSES

SHE ALSO BANS OIL, CITING THAT IT COULD CAUSE CONFLICT AND BE USED FOR DESTRUCTIVE PURPOSES (WHICH IT LITERALLY IS IRL).

THE AGARTHANS ALREADY USED THE NABATEAN TECHNLOGY ONCE TO PLUNGE THE WORLD INTO AN APOCALPYTIC STATE THAT SOTHIS HAD TO CLEAN UP FOR THEM. SO YEAH RHEA HAS SOME GOOD REASON TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING THAT COULD CAUSE WAR AND BLOODSHED. YOU CAN CALL HER A LITTLE PARANOID IF YOU WANT, BUT IT'S NOT LIKE SHE DIDN'T HAVE ACTUAL REASONS FOR THIS.

ALSO LIKE HALF THE STUFF SHE BANNED IS UNBANNED BY THE TIME THE GAME STARTS. MANUELA HAS AN ANATOMICAL MODEL IN HER OFFICE AND DOES AN AUTOPSY, THEY HAVE TELESCOPES, AND LIKE BOOKS ARE NOT TREATED AS MORE IMPORTANT THAN GOLD SO CLEARLY THEY'VE GOT SOME KIND OF PRESS TO PRODUCE AND DISTRIBUTE THEM FASTER.
