A message from Gary Savage about Ethical Inflexibility

"Ethical Inflexibility"

(I find it amusing now the war is over, that some Auggers scorned and poured derision on 0-aug and accused 0-aug of being the less skilled version. I like both, and to be honest I think both have their flaws, I prefer the in-between, DXSG and DXAG, for me are the best gametypes.)


However... Load a Single Player game...Watch Bob Page talking to Walton Simons... Notice well how Bob boasts that his science projects are way more advanced than those of Gary Savage's team, BECAUSE... Page's team have been experimenting in augmentations, an area which Savage's team have "refused" to get involved with...due to ... "ethical inflexibility" as Page puts it...

Do you not see, from the very beginning of the game, the game-makers are chanelling the player towards the humane decision-making of a cop, not the bloodthirsty augmented combat of a "freak" like Gunther or Simons...

Definitely there is written into the game, a negative aspect to augmentations. But then who disagrees that they are a necessary evil?

This post has been made long ago. But all adaptions to warfare and development of weapons are a necessary evil. If you don't do it and get yourself in a war, you're toast. Do it and you'll develop weapons that can kill on an increasingly large scale, making the wars even worse...
Worst part is: If someone develops a new weapon, you'll have to do it too. Imagine a war of Savage-like scientists armed with Crowbars against those MJ12 Commandos and troopers with their missile launchers and assault rifles.

The DX Civil War was meant to happen. That's my two cents.
