So, frequently throughout the game, you start a dialog with "As the symbol glows, power courses through you. Authority." I find this message to be really weird and confusing.
What symbol? What does power coursing through me feel like and what does it have to do with authority? Whose authority? Mine? The person I'm talking to? What is this trying to teach me about my relationship to the person I'm talking to? Should I have learned the lesson by the third or fourth time it happens? Maybe it could tell me something else next time.
Some of these answers can be guessed at, but to have such a weird statement repeated over and over again feels really strange. Am I missing something?
