About the first argument on Astarion and Shadowheart:
the fact is that I convinced shadowheart to kill the nightsong aasimar and if you convince her, she thrust a spear in cold blood to the chest of the aasimar ok? i dont think this makes you a neutral person but instead a really evil one , am i wrong? ... so a this point I expect that by now it is clear that my negative influence has exerted something evil in her, after all she didn't even complain when I returned to the harper's base, who by now had all been transformed into undeads , due to the fact that there was no longer any magic barrier to protect them from the shadows... come on, we are talking about a devotee of Shar, she is definitely not a good person, she is in total contrast with Selune as a religion. And Astarion? a vampire who wants to replace his predecessor and become a new tyrant? come on.. seriously..
So at this point in act 3 if I decide i dont want to help that little girl I was talking about in Rivington (the girl asking to help her to find her parents). well I don't understand suddenrly why my companions Astarion and Shadowheart react negatively. They should have felt disinterested, I'm not saying contentment but certainly indifference. But no suddenly they become good Samaritans and devoted to helping others.. it doesn't make any logical sense to me.
Regarding the second argument about the
refugees well.. I read all the answers in this thread and found many reasonable points from most of you. However, I continue to think that the developers' logic is forced.
Explain to me why it is wrong to think that spies, criminals, murderers, etc. could be hidden among the refugees? What's stopping it? No, they're all necessarily good, while the bad guys are the Baldurians who worry about defending the borders and their city.
It seems completely clear to me that these circumstances in Act 3 are not purely coincidental and this seems like a clear influence of the usual dispute between democrats and republicans on the issue of immigrants, squatters etc.. and I repeat, if my interpretation is not wrong well... I don't like how it is treated in the game, then for goodness sake I respect those who say they like it.
anyway I want to explain my reasoning better :
1) as I was saying I don't like seeing political real life ACTUAL elements influencing a medieval fantasy game. it is my personal opinion.
2) I would have preferred more intellectual honesty. Because it is common sense to think that there may be risks if your city is surrounded and invaded by caravans of foreigners, especially in a medieval fantasy era.
It is sensible to think so, only a madman would open the doors to any person without knowing whether of them there may be spies, criminals, etc.. it is completely normal. Instead, in the game, analyzing the various quests and the dialogues of the NPCs, it seems that seeing it from this point of view is on a par with being bad people.
I could be wrong but it seemed that way to me and I would say that I have nothing else to add, I simply said my opinion.
