Once you realise that heroes die, everything becomes that much more terrifying.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Heroes need monsters to establish their heroic credentials. You need something scary to overcome.
I feel like I'm witnessing the systematic destruction of a people's ability to survive. It's horrifying.
If you care about the characters, then whatever scary thing happens to them, you feel it even more.
True heroics, obviously, is not the absence of fear, but having that fear and doing something anyway.
If you have a crisis, whether on a ship or wherever, there are heroes who rise above it.
Death is frightening, and so is Eternal Life.
A lot of the characters I've played before are heroic or invincible in some ways and not tuned into fear and anxiety and pain.
People have their complexities. They have their heroic moments and their villainous moments, too.
This thing of being a hero, about the main thing to it is to know when to die.
Villains used to always die in the end. Even the monsters. Frankenstein, Dracula - you'd kill them with a stake. Now the nightmare guy comes back.
