Re: Got a question about petition at start of game
:thumbsup:Overan;418527 said:The King continues that if you truly want to save the protesters you will have to make a choice. "Here stand the leaders of the demonstration. Who shall be punished? These strangers or this girl (Elise)? The sentence will be death. … I am giving you power over life and death."
When the Prince complains, the King says, "If you won't choose, I will. They will all be executed. So tell me what are you willing to sacrifice to do the right thing?"
Elise cries out, "this is madness. You can't do this. Choose me. You can't let them all die. Choose me. There's only one decision you can make. It has to be me."
Tension-filled music pumps up the suspense as I weigh my options. With a button press, I opt to sacrifice Elise.
"You just killed your girlfriend!" Molyneux exclaims. "They are total strangers. You could have refused by not choosing."
"I could?" I ask. Yes, he says, but the King would then have carried out his threat to kill all of them.
