Yeah, I finished it last night and the ending was a little bit of a let down but it got to me too.
Leading up to the ending was interesting and a little emotional too. The perfect world was strange, I wasn't sure what to think of Theresa or what she was doing, and I was sad to see my dog die. It even really surprised when Reaver suddenly shot Lucien while he was monologueing.
I played the game going completely good so I had to make a lot of hard choices in the game, two of the bigger ones disobeying the commandant every time and choosing to age myself, but the choice at the end was actually pretty hard. I had to take a minute or two to really think about what I wanted to do there. In the end I chose to save everyone that had been killed in the spire and sacrificed my loved ones.
The choice got to me because the letter the people write and the fact my dog wasn't going to come back. I started going around Bowerstone after that buying some properties but the game was just completely different without my dog. It's weird, I didn't like the dog but without him the game just felt so lonely. I just wanted to go to the home my wife and kid use to live in and retire my poor incredibly old looking character and never play him again.
Even with the really anticlimactic ending ending I was really surprised how much the game got to me.
Then that got me to thinking: would the game have the same effect if you're playing evil or just don't give a crap about alignment?
If you're playing evil getting gold is so easy it's no worries giving that up so you can choose your dog and loved ones without worry. You also don't have a problem obeying in the spire and letting the woman age in the shadow cult place. There are no hard decisions so I don't think the game would have any type of impact.
If you just don't care about your alignment then of course it doesn't make sense that any decisions affect you and you don't have to think about any.
It seems like only if you play good and pure you're only going to have to make hard decisions and that is just odd to me because it seems like so many people will play this game evil or just won't care about alignment.
Anyways, I'm still up in the air if I'm going to play through again on evil. I do want to see what happens when you pick the other two options at the end but that's what youTube is for.
