If I don't complain a little, I feel I will explode.
I am coming up to the end of the game. My plan was to follow the Huana quest line first, then try the others. I went all the way to the hearing in Queen Onekaza's throne room but could not bring myself to go forward. "I saw Andaccio in Director Castol's office. I followed him to the Brass Citadel but was too late to stop him." Did a group of school children meet during lunch and come up with this false flag operation? "Mrs. Smith! Mrs. Smith! I saw it! It was him!"
I work in law so perjury offends me, but that is beside the point.
Where is the elegance? I mean, the devs intentionally made parts of the VTC's final quest overlap with Huana's final quest. Did nobody think Queen Onekaza and the Watcher would be clever enough to take advantage of VTC's plan? I went to the powderhouse with VTC animancers' help, for crying out loud. All Queen Onekaza had to do was "discover" the truth of what happened, bring it before Director Castol, make it clear that the RDC must be satisfied but the Watcher must not be implicated (being the only one who can be expected to confront Eothas and live), ask for Castol's cooperation to discredit the VTC in exchange for lenient treatment of him, and she might have achieved her ends not having uttered a single false statement.
When I came up to my ending in KOTOR II, I was moved to tears by how bold and how clever Obsidian crafted it. This... There is more strategem playing out on the news in real life.
