How mediocre
>>46387958
It was mostly just a test to see if they'll wise up for once. They treat the game like it's a freaking skyrim thinking they just gotta follow the quest goal. I thought something cliche and unoriginal might be easy enough for them to start down the right path.
>>46387940
Maybe they actually wanted to be the villain's evil lieutenants or something and weren't expecting them to kill off a useful pawn?
>>46388102
No, they thought it was a nice guy... I'm not even joking they thought they were helping the person for the greater good.

From the sound of things, specifically this line here
>Help obvious villain until they unleash their full abilities
It sounds like they initiated combat after they realized "Holy shit, this guy's evil".
>>46388174
Foolish player.

You're here for his.
