In Response To: Re: Mjolnir = slave (Agent Shem)

: I think the issue goes to: Is the "player" in control? In my
: interpretation, he is not making his own choices until the end of Infinity
: (read: lots of Story fory lurking) ;^) That is the point at which he
: becomes a "hero" -- the overcoming of his masters.

: Maybe.

: This is an issue that I am somewhat uncertain about: Is the player in control
: of desicions, or was he always designed to be a "hammer" (he
: wasn't named "mjolnir" by Durandal, as far as we can tell).
: Durandal is simply taking the hammer back from Strauss, and Strauss took
: him from the government's special forces. In all these situations -- as
: Durandal rightly says -- a slave .

: Shem

Arrr...
Perhaps this is a good explain-away for the fact that every place that the marine goes to is totally enclosed? After all, the best sort of servant in Durandal, Strauss and the government's mind, would be one that *doesn't think of itself as a servant*. Our player merely is incapable of seeing exits beyond the area that our master wants us too...

I'd specualte more, but I must fly. Perhaps in a few hours.
