Wulf Ratbane
Adventurer
You can't apply D&D reasoning to the real world. In D&D, everyone's moral code and values falls into one of nine basic categories. The real world is infinitely more complex than that.
What I find interesting is that I think if V had killed every one of those dragons individually, during the course of adventuring (and remember that "adventuring" means "invading their home for the express purpose of killing them for XP and taking their treasure"), no one here would be saying that was an evil act. So I guess the fact that V did it more efficiently than most others is what makes the act evil?
I guess the message here is "kill all the dragons you want, just don't be too good at it."
Exactly.
Some folks are clearly uncomfortable with the use of power.
V had godlike powers and acted in a godlike fashion (capricious? certainly). No matter how ultimately good the outcome, some folks just can't help but get squirrely about that kind of thing.
Old Testament God? Evil.
