And quite honestly, why wouldn't an evil cult brainwash people to send them on suicide missions? Makes more sense then to send actually useful and loyal people there.
To the both of you I would say this: for the sake of argument, let's assume you guys are correct about your "brainwashing" thesis (which is entirely possibly what Larian has written for her). For me, that still doesn't change much. Even if someone were brainwashed or conned or manipulated into their actions, if they committed evil acts, especially acts that caused irreversible harm to innocent people, they are still very much responsible for those acts. They don't get to use the "i was brainwashed" line to absolve themselves of their culpability. They still have to atone for what they did, which includes suffering harsh consequences for what they did. And note, I very specifically don't say doing good things will absolve them, because it doesn't. Doing good things now does not cancel out the evil things one did previously, because if you killed someone, that is irreversible. Saving someone today doesn't do a damn thing for that person you killed yesterday.[/quote]
I know, you didn't play teh game, but if you did, you would know, that Shadowheart actually did not commit any evil act, while with us. On the contrary, she is happy, when we help the refugees, gives you approval, if you help children and animals and she shows a glowing from time to time, which actually is rumoured to be
a sign of Selune.
