I would say i'm going for extreme pragmatism & practicality in games if possible. In games with a light / dark option, I tend to mostly go for light, because that gets me more friends / allies and items in the long run, but that doesn't really stop me from in ME terms 'going renegade' to kill someone in a brutal way, if I know it'll benefit me soon, and have no long-term negative sideeffects.
One of them is a former doctor and also a father. His daughter is down with serious illness soooooooo that's why he became a killer.
I commented "he could've researched medicine since he's a doctor but nooo. BUT he has the time (years) to research ~The World Strongest Poison~ tho."
And one of the reader, a hardcore fans it seems, trying to justify his choice as: "Researching medicine take lots of time and money! What else can he do!? Be an assassin and get insta money it is"
In which I shot back, "You don't just insta get hired to kill big shot and get huge amount of money when you are a nobody. You gotta build a reputation first and killing aint that easy either--there's risk and it includes him getting killed in mission, leaving his sickly daughter behind.
"He's more of a psychopath than a father if he got the determination and time to build his reputation from the ground instead of, yknow, researching the actual cure!"
Wdyt m8; what's your thought on his action. Is he that type of "good person who do bad things" or just plain straight psychopath who use his daughter as a justification for his acts?
Depends on the illness and his background.
If it's something unknown and/or incurable, then he could've become a doctor.
If it's something known, curable or atleast delayable but hella expensive, or the medicine is extremely limited in supply and he can only get it through achievements, in his case assassinations, then it's a means to an end.
If it's something made up of several powerful illnesses, none of which can be easily cured, as the antibiotics or cure otherwise would weaken her enough for the others to finish her off, so she has to be kept on serious medicines all the time, then it's a necessity.
And if there is a cure or delaying medicine, does the dosage remain the same all the time, or increase along with her using it for long periods of time ?
Additionally, had he ever killed someone before she got sick ? And what was his medicinal specialization, and if there was a specific illness mentioned, is that anywhere near that ?
The author just said its an illness that needs surgery immediately otherwise it ll be fatal BUT HE HAS TIME TO FUCKING BUILD HIS REPUTATION AS AN ASSASSIN AND EVEN INVENTED POISON
No he never killed someone before. The author wanted to make it seems like he ll do anything, even the most twisted thing just to cure his daughter. Before this, he's a doctor.
But then again, he researched poison for many years until he can finally extract it, compound it, and wield it as a weapon that not only is deadly, but will also kill someone in the most torturous way possible
If he can do all that just to ensure someone's life to end in the most miserable way possible, that means he could find the cure for his daughter. But he didnt do that.
If immediate surgery is needed and it's a one time thing, no follow-up surgeries or expensive treatments, then the only 'good' reason I would conclude, is simply it was too expensive, so he had to borrow a lot of money quick, which meant loansharks or organized groups, and they had very high interest rates, so he needed to pay them off.
Provided he's somewhat successful, and earns money from his contracts, he would eventually pay them off and be done with it. A few contracts after that, would secure their lifestyles, but if he wants her to have a luxurious future, more contracts are needed.
As for poisons... nowadays, a lot of poisons have been studied, so unless he invents something new, he would at most combine them in some special formula for more effectiveness.
Depends on how quickly you want to get into the business ,and how desperate someone is for assassins. If you take it slowly, you would probably contact someone to act as a middleman to get you contracts, thus also keeping your identity safer. But you could probably contact someone directly if they seem to be in dire straits and would like a problemsolver.
