I tend to agree with the quote, "An eye for an eye will leave everyone blind."
The first thing is a variable bug. You have to replay 5.0 and get the twins achievement again which should fix it. Otherwise you can use URM or another mod to turn on the "twins" variable. Supposedly we'll get asked in a later update if we are pursuing both and it'll fix itself.
looking back now, I do agree.. but also don't expect anyone to also agree to spare you for what ya did. Like someone said, an eye for an eye. she put a love one of the MC in danger. I get her reasons, I will do the same if I was in her shoes.. But now she's dead by eliza's hand.. in my game for her decisions... I would have probably spared her if she didn't act like a bitch when Eliza confronted her about it tbh... Kinda dark right? sorry, but it's the truth.
Hate killing her sister tho tbh, felt like shit because of it, and might go back in a later play through.To be clear, the quote I shared means that pursuing "eye for an eye" justice just ends up with everyone being blind. In other words, it emphasizes the idea that retaliation and revenge only lead to more suffering and conflict.looking back now, I do agree.. but also don't expect anyone to also agree to spare you for what ya did.

All this could have been avoided if Selene trusted them a bit, and asked for help... But she took action in her own hands, and reaped what she sowed. Tbh this situation deserved more ways to handle it.. I liked the idea of having another option that someone said about basically paralyzing Selene making her feel the pain Eliza went thru.
the perfect eye for an eye scenario, and could have had a better redemption arc with that.
There is another moral lesson that can be learned from “an eye for an eye”, which is that actions have consequences and one should be very careful so as to avoid giving others a reason to seek revenge/vengeance/retribution.
True but that's sort of the point here. If you go that route Selena and her sister are both dead, and nobody really cares about them so no revenge.
Certainly. But in this case MC is in control of the consequences. Assuming that you have to take revenge to teach a lesson is essentially a surrendering of that control. And seeking revenge/vengeance/retribution generally tends to perpetuate a cycle.
Except on the path where she's still alive, Selena a) knows that Eliza is a vampire and b) hates Eliza because Eliza won't let Selena get close to MC again. So while she is alive, she is a threat - and since Buu won't let us stay close to Eliza, it seems safest to neutralize that threat before we go.
Information that we don't learn until after MC makes the choice of whether to kill the sister, if I remember correctly? And based on a decision Eliza makes too.
Yes, Eliza kills Selena but only if MC kills the sister - I don’t really want to kill the sister, but I also don’t want Eliza to have another enemy at large while I’m not there. I don’t like any of these choices but since we don’t get a choice about going to the Pirate Twins or going on the sea voyage after, I have to do what I can with the choices I do have. (I would have been happier if MC was there - even if those who stayed only had one short scene per update.)
Honestly, if you're basing your decision on whether or not to kill the sister based on game metaknowledge of what Eliza decides to do later with Selena and other factors that don't occur until after the decision is made, you might as well go all the way and acknowledge that there's not a chance in hell Buu is going to potentially kill off Eliza or permanently maim her in the future based on this decision, vampire hunters or not.
Maybe, but honestly I’m thinking of going full dark path anyway - the more time I spend around the other characters, the less interested I am in saving the world.
Only 1 maid. Mei did the bullshitting all on her own. Vila had nothing to do with it. (and I was pissed we didn't get a chance to be angry about it not even for a second).
Full dark path at this point is nice with side of angst and occasional murder.
As you know, I disagree about Pearl - if it was just a shiny thing, I wouldn’t care but this was about Eliza and I have zero chill about that. That said, our inability to react to things is becoming a pattern. Our ability to make any meaningful decisions at all is rapidly waning. My goals though haven’t changed - protect Eliza and get revenge for MC’s parents. I do not care about the others, or their issues.
