Narratively we may be able to discern the overarching theme of power vs love. However the game does not track it this way.
There is a morallity system in place. The variable is called "moral", starts at 10, and currently you can get it up to 15 or as low as 6.

For example, during the third evolution, the Eye says (paraphrasing) "Last time you told me you fight for X reasons, is that still the case?". The choice of X depends on the "moral" variable and not the answer you gave during the second evolution. Additionally, no matter what answer you give, the game tracks a change in the "moral" variable (+1 for selfless, -1 for selfish response) and does not log the actual answer.

I expect that once MC starts making choices that affect more than just his immediate environment, the morallity system will start playing a much bigger role.

For now, it doesn't matter if you choose love or power. The only thing that is tracked is the morality of your actions and not all actions, no matter how intense, affect morallity.
I didn't mean love or power as in variables. I meant it in a sort of boolean you've either killed everyone or none of your friends. Sure, the morality system might matter for the story but I think the ending will be either you're a beast bc you killed everyone or you have lots of allies cuz you didn't kill them regardless of your morality.

I gotta ask for when everyone wakes up before I nod off. I see it a LOT, and I always hate it (maybe due to being a rebel) and I'll give you my take on it: (this may start a war)

The funny part about the ONLINE consensus regarding the age of consent being 18 is rather...where did they pull that age from anyway? The majority of US states (31 in total) have it at 16 while only 8 have it at 17 and the remaining (11) states have it at 18.

The rest of the world varies but most of them from what I gather have their age of consent at 16 or below (the lowest I saw was 12 (lookin at Angola).

But anyway NE on 1 but YE on 2.

Let's put it that way:

MC, no matter what, will have to interact with his friends in very "set" ways, driven by the main plot. The player gets the option to either assist his friends or ignore them, but when they get a role in the main plot, the important actions are already decided by MC's "base personality". There is a path where you (the player) don't give a shit about Liz or Amber, but there is no path where the MC won't rush to their protection once Dad makes that phonecall.

Additionally there is no path where MC is powercrazy like the Sith Lords in Starwars, who kill their own family to "purge" the weakness and be more in tune with the dark side. The low morality path is that MC doesn't give a fuck about random people and is selfish, but he still retains his relationships and he definitely gives a shit about his friends. We don't get the chance to be hostile to people that MC considers "close".

Finally the property of "friend" seems to apply to a select subset of the cast. You can be friendly with Demi and Jake for example, but the choice to kill them is independed of whatever relationship you manage to build with them.

It's extremely contrived for MC to have to kill his friends to achieve ultimate power, unless of course the endgame is to consume the cosmos, or make some similar choice that everyone opposes it no matter the friendship, because it's insane. Even for a selfish MC, the Eye recommends to consume 4 specific people, where only 2 of them can be called "friendly".


My point is this:
Considering the narrative, the difficulties of branching paths and the linear nature of the game, the more likely scenario is that the morality score will be sufficiently low to unlock an ending where you get to kill your friends and become an eldritch horror. I highly doubt that it will work the opposite way.

Surely they made 18 yrs the standard just 'cause like this they can publish it everywhere without consequences. There are in fact some doujinshi where the age of the "victim" isn't defined and it's simply written as XX.
Btw obv NE on 1 and YE on 2

Oh of course plenty of US states have laws prohibiting certain content (and I assume the same across the world).

Reminds me of the pokemon scandal a long while back where there was an episode with a gun but a buncha American moms got the episode pulled (still wild to me the land of gunowners got upset over such an episode from long ago).

But anywho I'm just surprised the 'standard' isn't more varied since most nations again are down with the 16 gang I'd expect 17 to be the middle ground not 18.

Something I learned today was that South Korea's age of consent is 20 (mind you before that it was 13 but they got scared the west was gonna call their consent law weak...so they bumped it up to 20 :ROFLMAO:)

Probably movies and tv series. A creator has a lot of reasons to use the age that is going to accepted all around the globe, unless of course the work of art is about "illegal" relationships, either as an expository piece or something more "spicy".

Considering that the majority doesn't really care about the age of consent unless they are put in a situation where it matters, and even when it matters, the garden variety social media/online "activists" don't even read the law before writing their crap and invoke some morallity standard they pulled out of their ass, it really doesn't surprise me that everyone thinks it's 18.

So it is currently an ongoing debate in the chantry about adding a new Waifu to the Dogclapper Pantheon...who exactly? We have a few candidates:

Mia (We have noted that brother RogueEagle likes Mia and thus we are considering her heavily)
Demi (Demi's loyalty to Mommy 4th has been noted which has allowed us to consider her)
Kelsey (I'm totally not biased towards dommy mommys who are redheads).

Please note they will NOT be placed in the same position as Claudia...she is a BETA BITCH and thus less than even dirt itself. They will be given proper places as children of Mommy 4th deserve!

Fear not....Mia won't be perv'd...she'll be highly...respected as all "Hiarchs" are in the pantheon. If she chooses to be divine in body and mind who are we to stop her? Worship her we must but remember Mommy above all else!
