Still, it left some enemies behind for us to fight. Well, thankfully we won't have to deal with that flame spirit. It is no use! We thought our power over such beings unmatched, but something binds this being too strongly to our plane!įOOLISH. Indeed, that is what the situation demands! Begone, foul spirit, and oppress my loyal subject no further! Oh fuck, remember this guy? Alas, we can do pretty much nothing when it comes to spirits. War is coming, Kami! A confrontation so violent that it will make that incident with Shavarus look like a promenade! Kali has sent me to. It's good to see you again, Emperor Norton.Īnd you as well! We had feared that our enemies might have slain you before my timely arrival. However, not much further down the road, we find our past crashing back into us.
There are some vans standing around, and we can loot one of them, which contains one advanced medkit, a flashbang and some Nitro (+2 Strength and Willpower, -2 Charisma and Intelligence, for 5 rounds). So, here we are in the middle of nowhere. Looks like we've just making due in the bumfuck nowhere of CalFree, but it looks like we're about to be thrown into something a lot larger.
#Shadowrun free state update#
Lack of emotional empathy does not equate to lack of reasoning.Part 9: Update IX - We're In The Army Now Update IX - We're In The Army NowĪlright, time to head into the third and final segment of this mod. At least Apex makes those decisions on a 'kill what is a threat, kill what I need to' principle. In my case I was circumventing the biological breaker switch that is empathy, and killing people anyway. It kills for a purpose and is far more efficient at it than I was. and then you look at the slaughter filled spread sheet of your own characters who were also 'just doing their job'. I see so many threads pointing to it being evil because of its small list of 'confirmed' kills. First at seeing the prevalence of man over nature, and then after years of torture.Īpex is not Evil. I'd argue putting a sentient, functioning brain behind that power is the better option. if you read her aura, or grasp the details with an intelligence check, then talk the stupid cow out of killing herself. That doesn't count as good in the long run, to me.įirewing herself as much as states she's off to do S.F.A. It always felt like freeing Firewing resulted in Absinthe being moderately happy that the entire cycle would repeat as always and nothing had changed (for better or worse). They change a little based on your choices but even her own personal reactions are lukewarm. Look at the way Firewing first reacts to the sight of her body in chains.Ībsinthe is vague as always in her forecasts. I can believe Dragons have the means and motive to keep the greater horrors at bay as long as possible, but I don't buy the argument that they're essential to the ecosystem. The scourge comes faster if you release the virus, killing all dragons. If there is any choice in the game that is clear cut in terms of morality it is deciding whether to kill Apex or not. Or at the very least has 0 empathy towards anything but itself. Though you need to be genre savy of Shadowrun, it is hinted by Abinsthe that letting Firewing go is a good thing in the long run.Īlso Apex is evil. Originally posted by Ludo Lense:Great Dragons are tied into ecosystem of the world and if they die the Scourge comes faster (see the bad ending). Not a murderous psychopath.more like an amoral and immensely selfish creature that takes no notice of anyone unless they get in his way.then he crushes them. Lowfyr is THE infamous dragon of the setting.probably the most cunning and dangerous of them.
Kinda pissed that he ended up destroying the Flux State, but yeah, not much you can do to prevent a dragon from doing what he feels like. The money was probably good, and the guy didn't seem quite so bad as most corporate overlords. I mean, that's pretty much what Lowfyr said afterwards, wasn't it? Still, Firewing would simply go and take a nap for a few centuries, and probably take her rightfull place as a proper guardian of nature once she wakes up. Yeah, might seem like a weird contrast after killing APEX now that I think about it. Dietrich's quote afterwards really cinches it: "Well, I'll be damned. I talked Vauclair out of his insane plan. I'm also quite sure that it didn't mean a word of all those pretty promises it made. APEX is a killer, and there is no telling what it would do when free, except that it would probably involve a bunch of fried brains. Well, except killing the whole lot of them with radioactive virusses, I suppose, but that isn't exactly without problems. It's not like you can actually prevent them from doing whatever the heck they want anyway. Originally posted by Wolf Brother Muzzi:Have we forgotten the never, ever make a deal with a dragon?
