  • I’ve never played the game or even heard of this scene until reading that article and the sense he gives is so unsatisfying to me.

    I think if you view it as a metaphor for divorce, it could make sense. Something the parents feel they have to do for their own health and well being that is nonetheless catastrophic for many children. Their children’s life as they know it, their sense of security, is carefully and methodically being ripped apart.

    I could see that, but he didn’t really go there, it was just that the parents are so egoistic they just do whatever they believe is right.

    I mean, sure, but it could be a powerful scene if framed properly, but it really sounds messed up.

    I mean, if you’re going to disregard the contributions of Viking culture because they were notorious for their pillaging, it’s only fair to disregard Rome, whose entire economy was based on systematized pillaging.

    Both cultures have contributions, but the wholesale massacre of other civilizations gets a pass when we discuss Rome for some reason.
