A sequel would be nice, was a very good game. My only big grip with the game is that they used a demon to designate liberty and an angel to designate order. That doesnt make sense outside religious thinking.


That's pretty extreme way to look at things...

What do you mean? Devil/angel, good/evil are religious notions. And since the meter was freedom/order, it sometime wouldnt make sense even inside religious thinking. Some freedom action werent evil per se, but would still go toward the demon part of the meter. I know they didnt wanted to put freedom/order up there, but they surely could find better then a demon/angel.

The bar wasn't liberty and order.

The bar was chaos-freedom-order.

Freedom was picking neither. Chaos was disrupting everything and turning into a demon. order was staying with katherine.


I mean I know his understanding about the meter is wrong, but that wasn't what I was talking about. It was the idea of someone hating something in a game  for having a religious backround that i find funny. A silly animation that serves as a meter in the form of shoulder angels bothering someone is a stupid reason  to hate something in a game.

Religious influences are well integrated in culture and language and are not going to simply disappear. I'm not preaching and I'm not a religious person, believe me, but that post made zero sense to me. If someone said they hated the shoulder angels because they were straight creepy, that would be a more valid reason to hate the symbolic figures.
