Volourn's Final Jade Empire Review: I Am The Law!

[Volourn]

"You were the only person alive who could save the Water Dragon, and yet you poisoned her."

 

The Water Dragon is a GODDESS; if she can't sasve herself perhaps she doens't deserve to live. That's what a REAL CF would think. Ok, it could go either way.

 

 

"The dam situation and the slave girl are the only quests I can think of that handle CF remotely well."

 

Hilarity insues. You forget the one fellow who is indebted to Gao the Greater, various aspects of the Tournament of DOOM, the way in which you can turn your lover to CF, dealing with the Lotus Assassins, and the list goes.

 

I do agree, however, that at times Cf can be more evil than it should be; but there is a lot of CF in CF. Still, can be improved in the likely sequel. That said, remember that being CF does NOT preclude you from being evil.

Well, I never actually played through as a CF, so I never saw the results of the actions except at the very end. I just felt that the obvious opportunities for CF responses were typically the same retarded sadistic crap that was in KOTOR. You do bring up a few better examples, though, but of course there is plenty of retarded sadism in the game.

 

As far as the water dragon goes, yes she's a Goddess but she explained what the problem is. Her body is being held in a certain state and she is powerless to do anything; poisoning her is nothing but evil. Poisoning the Water Dragon is aggression against the innocent, which doesn't seem very CF to me, just power-hungry evil action. It just seems like they couldn't do nearly enough to differentiate it from the good/evil in the Star Wars universe. MAYBE some CF's would poison the Water Dragon, MAYBE. But I think you could be a true CF and not poison the Water Dragon, but in the game if you save her you automatically become Open Palm. I know that CF doesn't preclude you from being evil; it just seems like they should've added another ending for the 'good' CF.
