As can be readily seen above, the deus ex machina (which is literally a deity in this case) is that the deity appears to offer to contrived solution of turning a bad guy into a good guy, by way of making him do good acts. There was nothing expectable about it; but what makes it obvious that this does indeed fall under that term is that this is how the writer chooses to have his character undergo his transition from bad guy to good.As I said, the assumption was not warranted. With no frame of reference given, there is nothing against me using the one of my choosing to judge the merits (or lack thereof) of the synopsis originally posted. I chose to view it through the lens of D&D, to better illustrate what I felt was a major minus point in the story. That's just my opinion! It didn't then, or now, warrant the personal attack that has been seen lately.Actually, that's exactly how logic works. Burdens of proof must be met, and this one, in the synopsis given, didn't. There was, (and still is not) any reason not to see this as a D&D-style world.The rest of your post was rather puerile, making snide and elitist comments regarding points, as though you had the objectivity or authority to judge who was "winning". You don't. In the future, please refrain from making such comments; we don't like that around here.</blockquote>
