Sam isn't motivated by getting rich. He's an adventurer that wants to finish his mothers work with his little brother. How could you miss this? Yeah Sam lied to him, but he only lied to him for the greater good. He actually fixes everyone's lives by the end of the game. Nate and Elena are open with each other about their desire for adventures, and Sam ends up hanging out with Sully. Rafe on the other hand was a psychopath that was pissed off that he never 'earned' anything.

>Motivations
The stuff the humans were digging up were literally zombifying the Locust, who knew not to go too deep because of lambency. Instead of helping the Locust the humans offed them to keep mining.

>Origins
Myrrah was born in one of the research outposts of the people actually trying to help the Locust, until eventually the government got tired of trying to be peaceful and decided to kill off the Locust and all their supporters. Myrrah escaped with the Locust, and knew what she needed to in order to make herself Queen.

>Faction
The Locust were the indigenous people on the planet and were more or less scavengers until the humans arrived. Humans began extracting rare fuel that was a viral poison of sorts to the Locust. Locust are naturally pissed off but don't have the means to communicate, fight back because humans won't stop, get their shit pushed in until they have to live unrerground. Myrrah then rallies them, they build up manpower and weaponry to fight, and emerge from the ground and push the humans shit in almost all the way to space.

The Templars in modern times are pretty evil, as well as the ones in Altair and Ezio's times. But in 3 and 4 they seem to be pretty decent people. Main villain of 4 isn't even a Templar. Unity they were decidedly bad again though. Didn't play Syndicate.

I don't really remember the Templars doing anything particularly too evil in Ezio's time, to be honest.

The issue is that Locusts actually sort of tried that. All it did was make the humans mine immulsion faster since it wasn't as dangerous for them to do it with the Locusts kept busy, which just screwed things up more. Only way was to stop the mining, and the COG was too busy turning profits to care

Really? In Unity it felt as if they were a lot more grey than outright bad. They were kind of scummy, but the Assassins felt like the assholes.

In Syndicate they're just straight up bad guys though. They're quite literally criminals and prostitute slapping, puppy kicking douches.

His overall goal was domination, though. He spoke a lot about bandits, sure, but keep in mind it's not only implied but shown that "bandits" is a term he uses on ANYONE who gets in his way.

Yeah, that was really lame. TFTB was generally really good, but in typical Telltale fashion they had to funnel everyone down the same general path so they didn't actually have to write multiple endings.

Still, I'd say as a character that game is where he's at his best. That last scene with him in the ruins of Helios was great.

I think they handled his send-off well though. Telltale was the best thing that happened to Jack's character, they gave him some depth and he came out pretty nicely as a guy who at some point was capable of having attachments and morals but had all that ripped from him and became an utterly monstrous bastard. Like when he talks about how his daughter killed his wife and later chose to kill herself via Vault Hunter-assisted suicide rather than stay in his confinement.

He doesn't deserve mourning, and everything he did when running Hyperion was wrong.

But if a demented mass murderer wants to rid the universe of a world full of monsters far worse than he is, even if there's minor collateral damage in innocent civilians, who do you side with?

Oh I just meant about people claiming Jack at all is any good. His entire thing is that he believes he IS morality. He's 'Handsome' so he's the 'Hero'. Anything the 'Hero' does is right, so ANYTHING Jack does he believes is the right thing. Kill civilians, gouge out a man's eyes, torment your workers, he never has to think twice because he believes he's right solely because of who he is.

No one in their right mind would at all claim that Jack is a good man. All people like me like to point out is that some of his goals and some of his accusations are, well, right. He calls you a bunch of child-murdering heartless bandits... when you murder his child in cold blood in front of him while he begs for you to stop. He calls Pandora a world full of scum and bandits that are better off dead... and he's not entirely wrong.

It's a degree of moral ambiguity and good writing that Anthony Burch stumbled upon completely by accident and was incapable of capitalizing on accordingly, or else Borderlands 2 could've had one of the best player punches in the industry.

>It's a degree of moral ambiguity and good writing that Anthony Burch stumbled upon completely by accident and was incapable of capitalizing on accordingly
You bring up a good point. Jack feels like a completely different character in TFTB and to a much lesser extent TPS than he was in BL2, where he was (mostly) just a evil CEO stereotype cranked up to 11, with the "hero" thing seemingly thrown in for the sake of trying to make him less boring.

It's like they only realized "oh shit this is actually a really good character idea" after the fucking game was already out
>>
>>343716825
Not them but from what they said, he's ironically morally ambiguous in the reverse of his mentality.

His mentality is ANYTHING he does is morally correct, so he's an insane asshole psychopath.

He's actually morally ambiguous in his actual role though as doing bad things for net good reasons.

Jack himself is evil but someone else could be in the same role and be a tragic hero instead.

Pandora really does have a shit ton of bandits. A normal person would have established heavy bandit raids without going after the actual cities.
>>
>>343716825
And yet what little evidence there is regarding the timeline of events as they happened [audio logs and his conversation with Rhys at a time when he really has no reason to lie to him], her captivity came as a result of her inability to contain her Siren powers and lashing out, accidentally killing her mother.

See this is why I mean it's ambiguous as sin. The idea that you are euthanising a suffering girl and freeing her from being manipulated by his abusive father comes entirely from the mouth of the girl herself, who's not exactly a neutral party.

If you had a teenage daughter with a disability that left her confined on a wheelchair, right in her rebellious years, and in an episode of fury she asks for some thug to kill her and he complies, does that make it a heroic act?
>>
>>343717994
The biggest settlements in Pandora ARE the bandit camps
>>
>>343718037
He did pump her full of so much slag that she'd die without the stuff. Also the collars didn't just inhibit her Siren powers, they could force her to act against her will which leans more towards the abuse side.
>>
>>343716825
That girl was a danger to all those around her.
>>
>>343718037
If she was also suffering because I say, filled her with heroin every day and occasionally prodded her with a cattle prod then it'd be a heroic act when they mercy kill her, sure.

Seriously it's not a grey situation. It's a depressing situation but it a) has to be done and b) has a VEEEEERY clear black party in the form of Jack "I strangle people for fun" I-Don't-Think-He-Has-a-Last-Name
>>
>>343718296
Jack tells you this. Jack, who is a chronic liar and an arrogant twisted view of the world. Of course he'd say that, and even if it was true there are better alternatives than locking her up in a cell and drugging her to use in his plans.

I'm not denying he probably loved his daughter, but he's evil and it extends to his abuse of her.

I don't recall any sources for the Iridium filtering to actually be harmful to Angel, could you please post them? Lilith can process Iridium when she's feeling weak and it gives her a power boost, I was under the impression it was just something that interacted with Siren physiology and wasn't necessarily harming her.

So yes, it was manipulative of him to force her to absorb it, but harmful or addictive?

I'm supposed to buy this game, somehow rationalize hatred for this man who quite possibly just saved my life, run away to join a rebel organization that i know almost nothing about and willingly fuck with a man who has made it clear he does not tolerate insubordination and treason. For what? Your mother loved this man enough to have a child with him. Your biological "father" killed your fucking sister. If anything the rebels should be the bad guys in the protagonists mind. This entire game's premise is illogical. You should be able to side with the dictator to quell this terrorist rebellion, the fact that you can't is the reason far cry 4 is shit.

The man clearly has issues but he never wronged the main character in any significant way to justify his wanting to assassinate him, his father on the other hand has committed an unforgivable act of betrayal by murdering his sister.

That was just the MC coming to terms with the fact that his memories aren't his own. He's dying, probably seconds from death at the end. He's been living years as Taylor in his own mind.
Hendricks was fighting alongside Taylor as they dealt with their teammates. Him becoming more unhinged as the game goes on is really just him having issues with Taylor and himself killing what are essentially his former friends who had really no choice but to defect. Taylor also became romantically involved with Kane during the mission and on the rooftop when the player(Taylor) gets fucked up is actually the moment he needed to be cybernetically augmented. That moment before the final mission is the moment Taylor decided to join the Cyber Soldier program, effectively ending their relationship. Hendricks went off to join Hostage Rescue where he commands the player (first mission). Then you get your shit fucked up and that's that.

Well that's what I meant when I said that I can not consider him a Villain.

I agree he has some psychotic tendencies, but it's really nothing at all compared to the bullshit the other guys are doing. Those so called "rebels"

It doesn't even feel like the people are suffering through his regime and if you play the game and side any of those two cucks, you just realize how much worse off the people are with either one.

In one case you have a religious nut that forces an unwilling little girl into some retarded "prophecy" and on the other hand you have some warmongering bitch which is basically way worse than the main "villain".

And out of all of this, Pagan seems just a reasonable guy who is happy to have the person he cares about back. In regards to his psychotic tendencies, I feel that anyone would act like that when even the "good guys" are fucking psychos. It's just the world he found himself in and he has to stay in character.
