Mr Zoat Where did this WHF Paul learn about the ability of Orange rings to rewrite desires? Or see desires on request? And why didn't main story Paul use it earlier in his career?
I think ordinary Paul also knew about these features, or he could have just asked his rings AI, assuming this one has an AU.
Paul did use the emotion viewer early in his career, but not the rewrite aspect since I think he found it morally repugnant at the time.
This feels wrong. Oh so very wrong. I mean you gave them a choice at least, a thin semblance of a choice, but a choice nonetheless. And they're dark elves too so, ya know, maximum evil people. Am I being weird? Is the rewriting desire thing wrong if used to make someone "good"? I mean if you try to rehabilitate them the normal way the end result would be the same. You're just expediting the process. Is the fact that I feel uneasy irrational?
I think it's a whole lot easier to not feel wrong when the one having their personality rewritten is essentially a monster that loves torturing people.
If the one you alter is however good then it is very easy to feel uneasy about the person being rewritten, like with Tangseid.
I think Warhammer!OL is talking about assimilation, not the tattoo thing?
This version didn't assimilate them, but just altered their desires.
Renegade assimilated a guy in one of his first missions, so it isn't exactly all that difficult to imagine that like paragon and renegade this version may have had a different personality than the main SI.
Still impressed he's thought of doing that. How did he know he could?
Either the rings AI told him, assuming the ring has one, and I think that the other SI's may have also known about that particular option, or at least speculated.
In the Common Sense chapter in Byalia that version said that he may be able to alter someones desires.
"I suspect that I can permanently alter someone's desires with this ring,
Seriously, is he in, like, a 'New Game Plus' or something? This is at least medium-tier skill. And I doubt one encounter against Dark Elves would give that much XP...
This one could be a prodigy in using his ring, or at least may somehow get an instinctual awareness on how to do it through the Warp, without being corrupted.
Another cold open, eh? It's starting to look like the Bond franchise in here. Not complaining, because these glimpses of alternate Pauls are good fun. Still feels odd that he should go straight for the desire-editing, though...
Again, he could have a different personality compared to the main SI, and these guys don't leave much room for things that aren't killing them on the spot to spot to stop them.
