Evil Is Petty/Quotes

Gideon: Your people are twisted, perverted. A whole populace that thrives on murder and fear is unnatural. How could such a people exist?
Vect: As I said, you interest me, so I will indulge your curiosity.
Vect:I shall tell you the tale of a great Lord of our peoples, for his tale is the tale of the founding of Commorragh, the tale of our people

Gideon: You didn't finish the story…
Vect: No, I didn’t, I suspect you would like to know how it ends?
Gideon: I would.
Vect: That is unfortunate, Because not knowing the end of the tale will drive you mad, won't it? In those moments that you can have a clear thought, you'll try to work out the ending. It'll gnaw at you, as a rodent gnaws its food, scraping away the last vestiges of your sanity. Such a shame, you really did interest me.

Say you are given a quest to get a schoolgirl's cat out of a tree. On average you are given three options: Neutral, where you get the cat down and accept the girl's allowance as payment; Good, where you waive the fee and fondly tousle the girl's hair as she scampers off; and ASSHOLE where you set fire to the tree and stomp up and down on the schoolgirl's face. And speaking as an asshole, this offends me. There are so many wonderful ways to be a complete ponce that these games don't cater for. Why can't I rescue the cat but hold it for ransom for her dad's porn collection? Or getting the cat out by throwing rocks at it so it breaks all its legs on the concrete and then still expect so be paid up with the logic of a complete tosser?!
