Are you so sure? In real life legal slavery, I mean back when it was legal, there were people whose job was specifically to hunt down runaways and given the position of the slaves in game, I wouldn't exclude the possibility of runaways being a thing in Syl'anar as well, which means there are possibly people who not only could, but that have to run IDs. Then there's the fact that enslavement eligible elves don't necessarily look the part, such as Maria, who looks human except her eyes, even her skin tone isn't a giveaway. That alone would make the pro-slavery bunch wary that there could be enslavement eligible elves among them without even knowing, so this would then extend to checking for them for security purposes, especially with rogue elements like Nia.Yes, IF someone checks, but no one is going to run her ID by just walking down the street, most people in the world do not have the ability to do so, even if they want to. Just seeing someone on the street, no one is going to know what she is, otherwise she would have been busted already. How often does someone just run your papers because you are outside?
Even if they are available to the public, no one is going to look, just because they see her. They don't just randomly check people like that. No one would have any reason to check, unless you give them that reason.
You are okay with torturing them to death, but you have a problem with making them go for a naked walk? I just don't get this?
I have no interest in hurting anyone, or killing them, but humiliating them, far worse than they did to anyone else, I think is good. Show them what it is like, you can't learn anything if you are dead.
I don't have a problem with having them walked naked like animals, but it would not make sense for them to willingly submit to it and what I do have a problem with is stooping to their level. Forcing them into the act would be stooping to their level, which is why I would be against it.
Unfortunately for those two, I've gone full Nia at this point. The thousand cuts thing is entirely driven by revenge for Maria's treatment and that of almost an entire race of people. I would make it quick, but they've hurt way too many elves for that to be possible, the sheer volume of elves would be their demise, at least most likely, they might survive.
Normally, I have no interest in hurting others without cause or unless the game is specifically based around hurting people, such as rape content, and I don't have this ability to do so in real life except in self defense, but they've gone too far. I don't think these two have the capacity to learn this lesson, they are too far gone. Others might have such capacity, but the nurse especially almost seemed like she was enjoying it and Cornwall doesn't care as long as his position isn't threatened, which we cannot do with what we have except to threaten his life in the process.
Hey, maybe if they're lucky, they'll either pass out or run out of elves they've wronged while still alive. Maybe the trauma of the experience will be enough to drive into their thick skulls the lesson they seem to be unable to learn normally. It is a long shot, but just maybe it will change them for the better assuming they survive. Either that or it will break them completely, still eliminating the threat they pose without them dying.
In games, I go eye for an eye, no exceptions, not even games where I have come to actually care about the characters as if they were real, like the girls at the hotel in this case. They essentially stripped Maria of her life by enslaving her and seizing her assets, leaving her unable to survive without the MC being generous and kind enough to help her for nothing in return, so my idea is to strip them of theirs, but they aren't enslavement eligible currently and we would have to force a test on them to put them through the exact same thing as Maria. The next best thing is literally stripping them of life.
Not my first choice, but I'm not seeing an equivalent alternative as most things already mentioned are too light to be equivalent to what Maria went through not to mention the others.
