I’m just gonna drop some spoilers here, because fuck it. If you try to spare Taurus, she attacks you again, and you kill her in self-defense. I figured her death was plot-mandated, so I continued onwards. Many hours later, it turns out that if you try to kill Taurus, she actually survives! And also, if Taurus dies, that overrides every other ending flag, and you’re locked into the ending where you murder all of your companions, become a dictator, and “cleanse” the known universe of everyone who won’t obey you. I haven’t been this pissed at a game’s karma system since shaking someone’s hand in Strange Journey gave me points towards the ending where I brainwashed humanity to mindlessly obey God.
I’m playing Virgo Versus the Zodiac
Mar. 9th, 2020 12:15 amFor a genocidal conqueror who wants everyone to LITERALLY bow down to her as the destined queen of the universe, Virgo is weirdly blameless in all the horrible stuff that keeps happening. Virgo shows up in some dystopia, the dystopia’s leaders make terrible decisions that end with Virgo killing them in self-defense, the entire society collapses, rinse, repeat. Is this like Overlord, where you’re killing people who represent sins, and at the same time you choose whether or not to commit those sins? But even taking the “merciful” choices, it still doesn’t seem like Virgo’s on a path to anything resembling redemption, so I have no idea how this will play out.
(Also, really not digging the implication that Virgo’s obsessive-compulsive disorder is the root of her desire to murder “heretics” and create an authoritarian society where everyone knows their place. But I guess it’s better than that game where the villain killed people because he had face blindness.)
