Questionable ethics - Living Memory

[jameseoakes]

Then isn't that even worse? Without souls, they're less than ghosts, they're just aetherial residue or to use Montichaigne's analogy, just floating ink that used to be written to a page and now has to be constantly maintained through sucking out life aether. This makes the Endless no different than the shades of Amaurot or even familiars like a carbuncle. They're just recreations that only resemble life. I had thought the users referring to them as chat bots were going a bit too far but it seems that's exactly what they are. They're simulacra devoid of the actual pieces that make something alive and without a supply of life force they become monsters.

I saw someone say that this whole thing is much clearer in Japanese. I wonder if there's some sort of translation difference here with what's going on and if the English community are the only ones who keep on saying the Endless were "genocided".

The endless are far more 'alive' than the shades of Amaurot which the game makes the ponit of explaining outside Hyth that they only follow a fairly narrow understanding and get confused when trying to engage them on topics outside what they're there to do but then the Amaurot in Shadowbringers is meant to feel fake. The endless feel alive and seem to have will and motivation.

If the game wanted them to feel fake it did a bad job of making them feel that way. why did I help someone find the engagement ring they had for the love of there life only less than an hour later condemon them to oblivion. The game doesn't seem to know what it wants this to be and it feels evil to out of hand do what we are doing.
