[QUOTE="Faolyn, post: 8834500, member: 6915329"] Then it shouldn't be using those terms. If you saw a game that said that a particular good-aligned NPC (in a non-modern game) was into torture and rape, and said that people in the setting knew about it but still thought them good despite or or because of these acts--and this wasn't a grimdark setting and nobody in-game was being mind-controlled into thinking or acting this way--would you think, sure, this person is a good person, it's not their fault that in the 21st century torture and rape are considered evil things? Or would you think that the authors have a very skewed idea about what counts as good and evil? This is a game that was written by people from the 20th and 21st centuries, to be played by people of the 20th and 21st centuries. "Not being reliant on 21st century definitions of good and evil" is a cop-out. [/QUOTE]
