    Default Ponder this...

    Out of the blue, I decided to read the glossary. It mentionned somewhere that, to not infringe the Cast's rights and to not hurt their sense of self, it is forbidden to make humanoid synths (robots with a reduced intelligence and no sense of self/bots made solely for labor) with 2 arms and 2 legs.

    So...where does that leave the player's MySynth? From the way it behaves in-game, it seems the MySynth only purpose is to serve you, the player, so wouldn't that be some kind of loophole in the game's theories (since the very existence of the MySynth seems like an infraction to the laws of the Gurhal system)? Anyways, those are just my random thoughts on that stuff. Go ahead and comment if you want

    It doesn't count if they're short, obviously. Children have no rights :3

    No, YOU ponder this!




    Why haven't they implemented a "Chuck" command for MySynth? I wanna throw that lil bastard into a mob so I can have a head start on head shottin some monsters.

    I think a Mysynth is more of a member of the team. Maybe MySynths fit into a loophole. They are not mindless machines, but more like an assistant built to a persons needs.

    But that would make the MS a useful NPC...which is a paradox D:

    I get your point, but that still makes it walk a very fine line between assistant/partner and slave bot. Or perhaps the MS chose that as its profession? Who knows...

    Oddly, I was thinking about this the other day...if Lou considered

    Spoiler!


    then surely people should feel much stronger about Humanoid Partner machines! It made more sense in PSU when they started off as non-humanoid robots, but when they got to lvl 80 and you could take them with you they said something along the lines of "I have evolved this far thanks to you" which implies some sort of intelligence and a mutual, not subservient relationship.......but anyway, I'm going too deeply into this

    Actually MySynths are completely different type of being from CASTs. MySynths are just automated worker robots that help out it's "owner" for a wide variety of tasks. Should it be from household chores to heavy lifting to mercenary work, they were designed to help out it's owner. Now, the reason why it is not labeled a CAST is because of it's evolutionary traits. Basically if a CAST gets stronger you don't see him/her changing shape do ya?

    Speaking of NPCs, is there ANY way to SHUT THEM UP??? Every time something cool happens and I want to take a screenshot, they're BLABBING. All the time, saying those stupid phrases; often more than just one of them.

    I couldn't find a youtube video of the exact point I wanted, but its 3:30-3:50.

    I would have embedded it, but I couldn't figure out how to.
