Finished the MSQ - Feels bad, pushed to do evil [Spoilers inside]

[duckorz]

When civilizations across the cosmos tried to live forever, Meteion found that they fell in to apathy, sorrow, and longed for death.

This is what the beast tribe quests in ultima thule I posted screenshots of addressed directly, though? That was not the end of their stories. This was Meteion, the hyper-depressed suicidal villain, and notably biased source, talking about the problem that she directly caused. We deal with the fallout of that in those quests and end up saying that, actually, life is good, and that longing for death is bad, and that even though these beings in Ultima Thule are "just" the memories of bygone civilizations, they're still just as "alive" as we are in this new existence and should go on living as they are.

Longing for death is bad.

But so is clinging to life.

The whole point is that when it's time to go, it's time to go. Ultima Thule doesn't make an effort to say "hey, living forever is cool and valid, actually," it's saying that there IS meaning out there, and life IS worth living, and you CAN find that meaning for yourself.

The *problems* Meteion found were real. The conclusion she arrived at was not.
