Oh you mean thisLet me just tell you to be mindful of what you ask for. Your wish might come true.
Very seldom it does.Let me just tell you to be mindful of what you ask for. Your wish might come true.
Some of the most horrendous acts in the history of mankind had supposedly "noble" justifications. It's the consequence that matters.I think if anything you can think about it like this. You can kill a cow to eat it, you can kill a cow to use it as blanket, hey you can even kill a cow to steal their place of living for you. Simply killing a cow for pleasure is not a nice thing to do.
According to your scenario, morality involved is complex. If by doing so she only gets more power, what she is doing is kind of evil. If by refusing doing so, she will get killed, in the end she is just doing what she has to survive.
Sorry, I disagree with Geralt, here. I don't think you can simply categorize each event as good or evil, as even the same event can change according to perspective. MC gained absolutely nothing from this act of raping her beyond the act itself. There was neither danger, neither gain, no ultimate motive. So the fact that he would do something reprehensible just for the fact of doing it could be the thing that generated the soulstain.
In the end, we all do potentially evil acts, all the time. It is how we justify doing them what defines them as evil or not.
Emm I am not justifying whether this should or not be considered evil. I was just commenting on your previous discussion about other acts. Trying to find a cutoff, if you will.Some of the most horrendous acts in the history of mankind had supposedly "noble" justifications. It's the consequence that matters.
Maybe we see it so differenty because I don't see what MC does as rape. Obviously when mind reading/control comes in play the debate becomes silly, because it's pure fantasy. The way I remember it (been a while), MC can literally read her thoughts. There are no mixed signals or "she said no but she meant yes" bs. He already knows she wants him sexually from back in the station. So he uses his power to remove the inhibition since she has never done that before. An immoral move for sure but I still can't see it being worse than an average, centuries old vampire's Tuesday.
If this stain thing is an indication of a "dark side" branch and that's the worst act in MC's record, then it'd be a pretty vanilla setting. Even silly young adult vampire fiction has some far darker scenes.
I do believe MC's act was essentially a mind rape. She is only interested in him given the powers, even at the police station.
I was talking about how the scene procedes at the station. The point ends up being irrelevant, though, as without mind whisper we cannot know her actual thoughts on the process and you can only get mind whispers by manipulating her at the station.
Wrong, if you don't use mindwhisperer on her at the station, she still invite you to her home for an omelette... Maybe it's a mistake by the dev, because it's kind of weird...
This is how I remember the thing going on when I tested, but it was a few months back, so I can be wrong.Yes and no.
If you doens't use mind whisper at all. She doesn't invent you home.
Tested it a few senconds ago. And as it was all in the same episode my error rate should be rather low today.This is how I remember the thing going on when I tested, but it was a few months back, so I can be wrong.
That puts a definite answer on the matter: you need to mind control her to fuck her. Not hot enough for me to do that...Tested it a few senconds ago. And as it was all in the same episode my error rate should be rather low today.
Well the first time was in the gray area. You do it, in some extend, to survive.That puts a definite answer on the matter: you need to mind control her to fuck her. Not hot enough for me to do that...
I think the first one was totally valid, the second use was for me a mind rape.Well the first time was in the gray area. You do it, in some extend, to survive.
The later you doesn't do it to survive and as how the scene is written, it doens't look that the MC has any intrested that Miri enjoys the ride. More than she is a flesh doll for him.
I mean I see your point in that you could persuade someone to do that. It is a hard topic. I do believe that getting explicit consent is becoming important and you could even argue a necessity to avoid potential issues later down the road. With some friends we used to joke that we need to create an app that registers explicit consents to have sex so you can use later in court, just in case.Also to go in to RL. Would you, in a similar situation than Miri and MC scene, interpret the lack of a clear "no" from Miri as to have sex with her? And yes, even without awesome vampire powers, you can convince someone of something that he/she doesn't really want and will regret afterwards.
I suppose you also think it's ok to slip a woman a pill or get her excessively drunk...just so you can fuck her for your pleasure?He already knows she wants him sexually from back in the station. So he uses his power to remove the inhibition since she has never done that before
For me too.I think the first one was totally valid, the second use was for me a mind rape.
I agree.If you look into the specific scene, though, she invites MC home to eat something. But it is his power the end that pushes the act toward sex. Before that she is just attracted to him. For me, that was a clear rape, no middle ground whatsoever, defining rape as having sex agains her will, as her will is being overriden. The similar situation I can think of is probably someone druggin somebody to have sex with. Like vamp roofies, if you want.
