[QUOTE="F5, post: 4719440, member: 4607"] I don't think V gets off the hook that way. V IS in control of his/her actions. Explicit in the Demon's deal-making was that V would be in control. Getting input from the 3 evil souls, sure, but V was driving, so V can't get out of it by saying "I was being controlled". V let hirmself be influenced, and that's different. Ooh. That's nasty. I could see the backlash from an epic evil spell designed to kill a target's entire family skip over the caster, and do its backlash damage to the CASTER'S extended family. If V winds up killing the kids in order to fuel the spell, is there still any debate as to whether it's evil? One last thing...even if ridding the world of a type of evil dragon was a good act, that's not what V did. V committed genocide, just to get back at one particularly nasty dragon. The arguably good act was an unintended consequence. Didn't Roy ultimately get off the hook in his own afterlife for some of the unintended bad consequences of his actions? In the long run, accidental Good or Evil doesn't count. Evil act. No doubt in my mind. [/QUOTE]
