"Institutionalized necromancy" is such a great way to put it. I felt such utter revulsion going through Living Memory, making it look like an even faker version of the Fakest Place on Earth(TM) was a perfect move. I don't think the devs *could* have made it worse for me by having it all in blood rituals and whatnot. It was WORSE than blood rituals, because at least those are done by hand!
