the thing about lemming and dak-wai's senses of morality is lemming would refuse to accept the premise of the trolley problem he'd insist that there has to be a way to save everyone while dak-wai would think on it for 5 seconds and then pull the lever to kill one person instead. however if you presented them with a dilemma where they have to condemn either themselves or a complete stranger they'll never see to death, lemming would try to work out a we-both-survive solution but ultimately take 15 minutes to decide to sacrifice himself. and dak-wai would be paralyzed by indecision for about an hour before deciding to save themselves

#lemming #dak-wai #i'm thinking that. when i get to act 3 dak-wai might try to kill ole gorty during his coronation.#the fact is it's in character. and while i'd prefer to do it vanilla if it takes abusing cheat engine to do i'll accept that too #i think lemming is more 'meaningfully' good in that he like has a much more lived-in concrete sense of morality #but is subject to hypocrisy and weird specific exceptions like most people. he loves to lie. and to steal.#dak-wai is like. lawfully abiding by something. but that something is basically just 'You have to kill evil people. and not good people.'#anything not covered by that they make up as they go. honestly including 'what exactly is an evil person'#and they tend not to think about far-reaching consequences for people other than them #wdym gortash had political prisoners. he was right there and you want me not to stab him
