![]() ![]() Despite everything, I can certainly respect such a goal (no matter how cliche), and I'd hate to see that it has all been for nothing after all these centuries of sacrifice and struggle. If I did have to explain though, I'd say that I did this because resurrecting Miika was the main goal of the Changing God, which made him do everything he did. While I mostly agree with both of these, that wasn't really my reasoning, so I had to pick the third option: "this is my choice and I don't have to explain it". The game only offered me to say either that she's the only one blameless in this, or that I wish to let her realise her potential. Was a bit disappointed with the choices for reasoning, though. I chose the option to merge everyone into Miika. What conclusions did other people come to? I wish I had had the chance to explain my decision to Matkina, but that was what I did and why. So that is why I chose to destroy the Sorrow. And yes, destroying the Sorrow caused madness and chaos for many thousands of people, but, in the long run, letting the Sorrow continue to exist would have caused far greater harm. ![]() None of that would have happened but for the Sorrow. It also argued that the Cast-offs unleashed the Endless Battle, but the Endless Battle only existed because of the Sorrow! TCG only wanted to reabsorb all the Cast-offs to stop the Sorrow from hunting him, and the First was only fighting back to avoid being reabsorbed. I also thought that the Sorrow's rationalization for killing Aadiriis was obvious nonsense: when asked what harm she ever did, its only explanation was that, well, TCG did harm in her body before she existed. What appears to have been happening is that a civilization grows up, advances, eventually discovers the Tides and how to use them, and is then destroyed by the Sorrow-and this has happened way more than nine times! Is the use of the Tides really more harmful than this?! Maybe it's a tradeoff, but why should that one ancient civilization get to make that judgment call for every future civilization? And who is to say that there is no way to use the Tides safely? What one can say for certain is that no one will ever discover that way if every civilization that discovers the use of the Tides is destroyed before it can learn any more about them. The Sorrow is the reason that the Reef of Fallen Worlds and all the lost numenera exist. But look at what has happened as a result: the Sorrow has been destroying whole civilizations for millennia ever since. The Sorrow was made by a long-lost ancient civilization that came to the conclusion that using the Tides was so dangerous that it created this monster to destroy anyone who discovered the Tides and began to use them. My reasoning was this: the Sorrow was not a god, or even the creation of a god. I was wondering what endings people chose, and why.įor myself, I chose to destroy the Sorrow. ![]()
