Hypocrite: Difference between revisions

Fenris' two main complaints against mages are the risk of demon possession and the temptation to use blood magic -- neither of which apply to him. So, not a hypocrite.

Line 223:
** In ''[[Dragon Age 2]]'' Knight-Commander Meredith sees magic as a curse, and mages as a major threat to her city who must be contained at all costs. {{spoiler|So she uses an ancient magical artifact to give herself magical superpowers and animate statues to indiscriminately attack people in the final battle.}}
** The same could be said about Anders, who accuses her of going too far in her treatment of mages as dangerous people, yet he {{spoiler|proves just how dangerous and obsessed he himself is - ask the people in the Chantry he blew up}}. Not exactly the strongest point in making mages seem like all the other people.
** And Fenris believes Mages are too powerful to be trusted and will inevitably abuse their power, so they should accept being enslaved and controlled by the Chantry. He himself is an escaped slave with magical powers who is being hunted by his former master and will mercilessly kill those who are no longer a threat to him if they piss him off enough. Like Meredith he has a massive [[Freudian Excuse]], but it gets a little old when he spouts out reasons for mistreating mages that could just as easily apply to him.
* Caesar in [[Fallout: New Vegas]] frowns upon any form of weakness in his soldiers, including over-dependence on technology, and the only medicine he allows his soldiers to use is healing powder (a simple concoction of medicinal herbs). However, he keeps a broken Auto-Doc in his tent and, if the courier sides with him, commands the courier to fix it so it can cure him of a brain tumour. Plus his [[Elite Mooks]] get to use more technologically advance weapons than the lower ranking members.
* Isamu in [[Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne]] intends to create Musubi, a world of complete isolation in which all beings are self-reliant and allowed to pursue their own goals without any interaction with each other. He has to rely heavily on the Demi-fiend in order to bring about this vision.
