[Spoilers] I’m irrevocably Unimpressed

It's not the 2 sides of the same coin. One is attempting necromancy. The other is trying to save the living. As much as we can sympathise with the loss of loved ones, morality itself tends to look down on raising the dead using non-consensual blood sacrifices.

And as I said, from THEIR perspective we aren't even alive. We are indeed fighting for the living, but to them we are fighting for fragments of a shattered past...a past they wish to see restored, people and all. We have the moral high ground though. The Ascians are simply doing whatever it takes, and that is why Emet and his fellow Ascians needed to be stopped. We really do share 2 sides of the same coin, in that we want to preserve our ways of life. We just have a bit better of a moral compass on ours. There are things we simply wouldn't do, like sacrificing entire worlds.
