This explains why the plot turned into such a clusterfuck! by Mischief Maker 10/02/2013, 10:24am PDT I think the writers made a major fuck up when they made humanity irrelevant from Soul Reaver 2 on. If you're going to have an ongoing theme of exploring the limits of morality, you've got to have a real world connection of some kind or the whole thing turns into creative masturbation. "What if you came from a race of black-winged bird men who worshipped the cycle of life and suddenly had immortality thrust upon them? What would be the implicatins? What does your answer say about you the viewer?" Well, unless the immortality is a metaphor for something in the real world, nothing really. "Okay, okay, but say instead you came from a rival group of white-winged bird men who were trapped in a dimension of chaos and had to use techno-whatzits to prevent yourselves from turning into freaks. What are the philisophical implications upon your own life?" Once again, can't see any connection to my life in the slightest, so no implications at all. NEEEEEERD!!!
