[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 8127547, member: 58416"] My initial reaction is that the viewpoint (I believe) I would have would be one of these two: 1) I care enough to do something about it. a) I gain enough personal power to be capable of destroying the wall. b) I gain enough personal power to be capable of controlling how/if the wall works. c) I seek out powerful beings who have an interest in circumventing or destroying the wall (and help them). 2) I don't care enough to do something about it. a) On my deathbed, I repent and express my faith in a deity. b) I pick out whichever deity sounds as though they have the coolest afterlife available and offer sincere praise. c) I pick out a deity and offer the bare minimum worship to not suffer the wall. Another option (whether I care about the wall or not) would be to seek out some of way of never dying. In regards to the "broader issue": -My position was not that it was a broader issue to this thread overall, but to comment on something which does appear to be a contemporary struggle of entertainment brands -balancing interesting conflict-driven narrative against modern mores. In regards to Forgotten Realms themes: -I will admit to not being familiar with what the underlying principles of Forgotten Realms are intended to be. -My perception is that powerful beings, gods, and creatures engaging in some sort of political dance is part and parcel for the setting; the controversy surrounding the wall seems to fit with that (and could be a catalyst for in-setting conflicts between beings on either side of the Wall issue). -As stated several times before, neither the inclusion nor absence of the wall from the setting is of particular interest to me, but I do not see the inclusion of it as being particularly troublesome (aside from what has been pointed out by others as poorly defined function and questionable writing decisions). -edited to fix a grammar issue- [/QUOTE]
