That's fair about having more choices. And absolutely agree about punishing you for trying to do something good. The whole of Hutta almost feels like that actually.

I'm not sure that the settlers have the money to move off Hutta though or even away from the river. So I think we kinda have to work with the situation we're given.

The radioactive bit was slightly tongue in cheek.

The point was you are causing them to be attacked by your actions. Does recieving money from a Hutt to live in a specific spot really make it okay to kill them? And in case you didn't notice, all of Hutta is a chemical waste dump. The entire planet likely suffers from the exact same problems.

Not really. People are not hermit crabs; Shelters like houses cannot simply be lifted up and moved to another area without a lot of work, and constructing them is similarly time consuming, especially considering leaving probably would not make the hutt's happy.

He does know. He says the people living by the river "get what they deserve" by being killed by the mutant mutant monsters.

I wish there WERE some "grey" choices. Unfortunately, it's much more simple: direct killing means Dark, no blood right this second - light. Even when spearing someones life means endless torturing and suffering of everyone else. Like on BT when you take the general prisoner.

Simplification for time saving is understandable, but sometimes it's over simplified.

Yet there was a moment when killing the person was the light side choice and letting him live was the dark....

One thing I've noticed about this game, is that it gives LS points for being narrow-minded and only looking for the short term. For example- In Black Talon the General even mentions about how his life will be WORSE off for not killing him, yet you get LS points.

I would say that that choice is the abnormality in terms of LS/DS points and either has some very unusual circumstances surrounding it or is just inconsisistent with the other LS/DS decisions in the game.

That post was not made in response to your previous post....hence why I quoted someone else.
