Hehe, more manipulation? Why cause we all love to be told how to feel and think?
Another good example in oblivion, since I don't want seem like I am picking on The Witcher, is during the Fighter Guild questline. Early in the quest you are asked to help…..
which you are required to do. Then later you are first required to…..
Know why? It's clearly because Hyst only effects villagers and sheep, duh! We can just never get enough of those good o'le affected quests and so I did what any murderer would do, I Resurrected them with the console. It fit so nicely with the developers vision and story, now who could resist the fun?
