Very grey area. Seems like they are created with the purpose of serving.

well… if you think about it, religion is very conservative. it makes sense that the punishment in game would mirror irl. go to any reddit conservative forum, press that X to doubt. post about it… see how long you last lol.

Or it’s just a video game and you’re reading too deeply into it.
Regardless, until such time as morale has improved the beatings shall continue.

We’ve done much worse to people for much less. Remember when we helped a divine being throw Ellia Ravenmane under a bus for two months just so we can learn “we fight good to protect?”

Yeah, but the people paying us to do it weren’t pretending to be paragons of morality.

i did that quest, too. pretty horrifying.
if we don’t take down the archon for these crimes, i wonder about the sanity of the writers. then again, we have also forgiven the horde’s genocide in bfa and are seeing tyrande’s thirst for vengeance as an evil thing, so…these writers need to uh, probably be under close watch. they’re clearly disturbed.

Oh, we’ve done it for “paragons of morality” plenty of times.

If you don’t beat your students to get them to do what you want you end up with Public Schools today.

Usually the beatings result in Death from what I’ve seen. The Death-touched Sin Elementals and the Doubt-filled Kyrians are both neutral aside from the Elementals in the Caves…
The ones in broad daylight are just wandering around spawning!
If we had a machine that could bring things in a Video Game into reality I would just grab a few Elementals for research!

Because some of us don’t think morality is something that we can get past.
Right and wrong are still right and wrong, regardless if your feelings on the matter.

I am with you 100% on that.
I still like those Kyrians though.
Some of them may die, yes, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.

After encountering one too many insane forswarn conspiracy theories posted on shadowtwitter, I think a part of me is actually starting to agree with the Kyrians’ point of view on how to handle “doubt”.

Honestly, I am waiting for the Stewards to start doing the owl head turn thing and start snapping necks with the way they are treated.

Stewards.
Are.
Not.
Slaves.
They aren’t treated badly. They aren’t forced to do anything. 100% of their labor is voluntary and the Kyrian are very grateful for it.
There are many, many, many things wrong with Bastion, but the Stewards are not on that list.

Tell that to me the next time they go all Stepford Wive’s on me when I have to help ‘take care of chores’ at Heroes rest.
‘Oh… I am bored and can’t be bothered to find something to do… Stewards! I demand a book!’
‘Oh, I tire of the food that is on the table in front of me… Stewards! I want some fruit!’
They are too much like the neutered Ood from Doctor Who and it is only a matter of time before they rise up.

The Archon acknowledged that Devos was right and that the path was flawed. But the Path wasn’t this way for the sake of being evil. The Path is like this so that something like Arthas’ damnation doesn’t happen, where a Kyrian acts out of emotion and throws a soul into the Maw.

Both those cases there is literally a Steward wandering around going “Oh I can be helpful in this specific thing, man I wish there was someone who wanted this exact thing so I could feel like I’m helping.”
No one was made to do anything. They were already looking for someone to help with that exact thing before they even knew someone needed it.
