Simple, really. Me good, other bad.Well it all depends on your definition of good and bad of course.
This reminds me of a quote from Caméra Café (don't laugh, I'm a fan).If you like history a bit and look at it all over the world you will see that what is good or bad can vary pretty strongly over time and geography. For example we have a strong rule against killing, while the Inca thought making human sacrifices are a good thing. Also I often see a great willingness even in our society to send out soldiers to safeguard our interests with little regard to the fact they might have to kill or be killed during those missions. Overriding the bad part of (potential) killing with our economic and other interests![]()
Very literal translation:
Sylvain: "Hervé, have you ever done something in your interest but against your conscience?"
Hervé: "Never! It's one of my core values!"
Sylvain: "Ok..." goes away
Hervé (alone): "My conscience always listens to my interest. It's a core value..." *cackle*
Having ethics does not make one a good guy *nods*See my point above, the fact he has ethics, does not mean that other factors as the greater good of the importance of his research would not override those or that he did not find a way to have Trisha or Kelly volunteer. It is even possible that someone else is running an experiment without Marcus knowing though, even if I would be surprised if he would not suspect at least if that was the case.
Choices are ours to make, but consequences are Notty's responsibility *nods some more and grabs a glass of water*Nah, Notty may well find a complete Innocent delight in tempting, teasing us and challenging us with the choices she provides, but she surely knows she is not innocent of wanting to tempt us to see her hard work and paths she provided and will be delighted if someone will take the time to see and enjoy her hard work on those paths and will be challenged. After all it is the interaction of our choices and the content she provides that makes the game come alive, so how could she not want us to experience and explore it. Also as an aside, she created the characters and the convictions and beliefs they hold so at least part of the consequences of our choices are her choice, whether we are warned beforehand or not that those will be the consequences.
I'm all for fighteasing a little, hell, I've been in a few relationships where we used to talk smack to each other. In France, we have a saying, "Qui aime bien châtie bien", meaning "Him who likes you will poke fun at you". The closest expression could simply be "tough love". When you like someone, you're not always saying sweet things to them, else you get diabetic and die. BUT (and just like Trisha's, this is a big butt) in this case, this is nothing like tough love. We are more likely in front of a situation I'd affectionately call "why da fuck are you still married and working together you dumb cunts!?". A.k.a. "Run, you fucking moron, else she will devour your gonads and lay her eggs in your still breathing corpse!". You get my drift.Well who says Trisha hates her husband? They may well be in what we Dutch would call a "vechtvereniging" (vecht is fight and vereniging in this context would be relationship). The kind of relationship where people seem unable to live together but deep down there is great care and love and mutual dependency. Just ask Marcus a bit too much about Trisha when you first meet him and see his reaction. Pretty sure he will not be happy if you start anything with Trisha.![]()
