Emet-Selch Is Not That Tragic

And they have made it clear that the Ascians are the bad guys and that them having reasons does not change it.

You clearly played a different game than me, then. The entire expansion's story was about moral relativism. They are not simply "the bad guys." The whole story was about offering their view and showing why they are not simply bad guys.

Haven't bothered to read this whole thread so don't know if it's been brought up, but one of the biggest points that drives home that the expansion is about moral relativism is when you're in Amaurot: the debate house.

Two Amaurotines are discussing morality in regards to another... civilization I think? It's on the brink of extinction. If I remember correctly, one suggests that they should be saved, and the other suggests that it is wrong to save them. It all depends on the viewpoint you are taking.
