Are we evil?

I think we might be a bit shady now:

Skybuilders' Adder


Description:
Venomous snakes are something of a rarity in Ishgard, so the skybuilders have ordered that some be delivered from the Azim Steppe to help improve morale. Workers displaying a lack of enthusiasm will be given some time in “the pit” to rediscover their commitment to the cause.

We willingly supply poisonous snakes for 'motivational' torture.

Yea that seems sketchy at best.

Become the Warrior of Darkness.

Gotta motivate those sluggards you know.

that is not evil, they shouldn't be unmotivated, they choose to go to the pit.

I can only assume this is one of the occasional witty-but-not-actually-logical flavour texts that shouldn't be taken as canon. Sometimes - not often but sometimes - they directly contradict what you know about the item from the quest.

We're using the snakes directly as ingredients in crafting the items, after all.

I blame human nature.

I think we're going to have to have a few words with Francel about this.... ;)

This is literally just Koji Fox being Koji Fox and having too much fun with localization flavor text.

Oh gods, there's a terror hiding behind that boyish face.

Someone's clearly been having fun writing up the flavor text for the Skybuilders' items.

Cept getting bitten by a venomous snake only works for motivation once. Either they die or they aren't afraid of being bitten anymore after surviving it.

If used for public motivation, it only need once. (And a person)

They really should let you pick which side your on maybe you have got tired of them having you run half way around the world to deliver a bottle of wine or some type of food. Shoot they never have even given you home to stay at. I think BNS they let you pick in main story at one point to ether follow the light path or darkness path.

In-story, the WoL is a ward of House Fortemps and could stay at the manor, and most likely has a room at the Rising Stones as well. Leaving the housing system and the inns aside, of course.
