Message: <blockquote data-quote="gabrion" data-source="post: 2685505" data-attributes="member: 30779">[sblock=Rystil]I think this is a point that needs clarification.  There really isn't much voting going on anywhere as in this game atmosphere.  I think the problem is thinking of a paladin of freedom from a modern liberal viewpoint, when in fact the landscape looks much different in the game world.  Throughout this game Cassandra will probably never encounter a governmental system that allows true freedom in the modern sense.  Instead, her choices will always be to between something that is better and something that is worse.  In this case Taern has told her what the League of Silver Marches stands for, and having lived in the north for some time she would most likely be aware of this. I guess what I'm wondering is why exactly she is so against the idea of reuniting the League?  Does she have any kind of experience in her past with a government that espoused ideals closer to her own than the Silver Marches?  If not (which I'm guessing is the case), then she would have to be an extreme contrarian to oppose helping the Sliver Marches so fiercely.  Right now she is being offered a choice between bad (fighting and instability in the north that will leave little opportunity for people to act on their own wills) or pretty good but not perfect (Silver Marches offering people defense while allowing them to pursue happiness in the way they see fit) and she seems to be opposing the latter simply because it isn't perfect.  If I'm misunderstanding, feel free to explain how exactly Cassandra is viewing the situation.[/sblock]</blockquote>
