When people say "superhero morality" I'm pretty sure they're referring to Clark Kent/Peter Parker who hesitate to kill even villains who have killed countless people.
DP literally said we would learn more about their imprisonment as part of our efforts to reinforce their prison.
I want to do it now, and not put it off for another few dozen, hundreds of posts like... there are actually quite a lot of things to do. Like Molly's debt to the archive, for example.And I don't believe that it will be done anytime soon at all if we put it off.
What?! I'm pretty sure Heracles would have gladly exchanged his "silver spoon" for living with his family. For every gift he had he was fucked twelve times over. His whole life consisted of bouncing between quests from different gods, most of which he could not refuse, and happening to people. Some of whom he wouldn't have had any beef with if Hera or someone else didn't send him to retrieve something.
I do not believe that the exaltations will go to only good people, as I mentioned they seek out greatness rather then specific morals like a bronze age mindset. It is just that people with firm belief not matter the form will usually be the type to seek out greatness.
So it's not just Britain at risk from Arthur, it's half of Europe and North Africa.Molly would probably stop him before it got that far, but I'm still a little concerned about how far Arthur could get if he fucks off to Constantinople while Molly's back is turned and coups Turkey (again) and goes from there.
I think it's less that and more 'driving them to indulge their whims/urges, no matter how that might affect those around them', perhaps with a side helping of 'power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely'.
I mean, the first is just regular human behavior and an exaltation will not change that as the Great curse is gone. And second is pretty much the same, we will get people some people of that type but also people on the other side of that and everything in between.
Bronze seem to have assumed that I was of the mind that every exalted would be a good person, I clarified my stance. No where did I say that it was Bronze taking that stance, but rather my opposition to the general idea.
Yeah, I understand. Leaving aside how both of those have their own hangups and issues, I think there are more variations of "being a hero" than that, which are good to have around.
Exaltation sans Great Curse doesn't really push you to do stuff. And "power corrupts" is a very defeatist notion. Power enables.
I'll note that "try to talk to them to see if they are reasonable enough to be released" isn't equal to "release them here and now, no questions asked".
I mean, even with Molly you can see her worldview changing with the Exaltation; perhaps mostly for the better, but then again she has Michael, Charity, and Harry, one of whom is a literal Knight of the Cross, as three major influences in her life, on top of her being who she is. And yet, the Exaltation still is changing her. How much more dramatic would the changes be if she did not have that degree of support, that degree of moral foundation (between her family and her faith) in her life? Most people will not.
IIRC it encourages you to do great (not necessarily good) things?
Hercules has great propaganda.
Well, like father like son in that regard, I guess.
Her mom wasnt his queen.
They are mythic heroes of ages past.
All of them are demigods.
You are oversimplyfying and pushing an agenda, I believe. I am not prepared in engaging in a lengthy debate on the issue, and I believe neither of us is qualified (you'd need a degree in ancient greek literature for that).
Well, that's not a fact. The absence of objections is not the same as approval. But he clearly didn't consider it a sufficient sin for the sword to go away.
Limit breaks are not subtle, they are big sudden mental breaks, that can last months if not years. The Great Curse biggest long term effect is also on Solars with lesser effect on the others, the main thing it caused is Solars would be engineering society so that their limit breaks cannot occur. If you hate a Yozi servant race, the easiest way to deal with them causing limit is to wipe them out. A Solar despises say crude art, might force everybody in their realm to train to master a artform, before they can be considered an adult.
