Are We About Individual Freedom?


Andoran

I just played "My Enemey's Enemy" and My Andoran Faction mission was to help Andoran bust drug traffickers. Huh? Andoran is supposed to be about freedom! What business is it of mine if someone in Andoran wants to take "pesh"? I don't think this faction mission should be in the scenario. It's waaay too close to actual real world politics.

Some drugs liberate the mind. Some drugs enslave them.

Well I followed orders. But the Faction will get a ear full about this.

Think about what you're saying friend. Are you siding with Katapesh over this? Putting slavers before your own countrymen?

Pesh is one of the product's sold by Katapesh, a nation infamous for slave labor and selling slaves. I cannot speak for the designer, but I would suspect that the source is the big problem. Of course, pesh does weaken the mind and may lead to people making even more bad decisions.

I was born in Cheliax, even served in the Cheliax army. I saw the rise of Thrune. Tyranny often starts with "good" intentions for people who "need to have decisions made for them for their own good". It is a slippery slope.

If I remember right, they were using child slaves to make the drug, so that's certainly a good reason to put a stop to it. And many people would consider addiction a kind of slavery.

Small world, friend. I imagine your life under the boot was a little different, considering our different heights.

You can not justify curtailing your own people's freedom because Kings elsewhere enslave their children.
