More accurate example, is it OK to kill a guy with a life-threatening disease to cure a town of a life-threatening disease that doctors are working on a cure for as we speak?

Because that's what we're dealing with.


It really doesn't matter what the person's done or if they deserve it. It is not our place to decide that.
I mean, it literally is.

We were sent here to protect the pokemon of Salvage Keep, and like it or not, Orin is one too. If he would be damned if we weren't here is irrelevent, as we are here, and can make things right.
It's not irrelevant. No matter what you decide here, a sacrifice is being made. So it's not irrelevant, who is sacrificed is literally up to us.

You want to put not just 1 person, not just 7 people, not just the town of Salvage Keep and surrounding areas, but the whole world that it's situated on in peril -- that is to say, demon-claimed souls -- over executing the 1 person who does not provide value, wants to hurt others, and chose to give up his soul. Not risk his soul. He didn't know we were showing up. He knowingly damned himself in order to do more harm.
We are here to protect the Pokemon of Salvage Keep from him.



But fine. If this is how you want it, we'll do it like this:

No more playing around. No more needlessly talking to Pokemon, no more healing at night (we have berries), no more restraining Orin (someone else will kill in his stead), no more scavenging or making cages (I was wrong, it'll just waste turns), no more investigating Pokemon (we know who the Stalkers are, we just can't do anything about it.)

No hanging out with Vex or learning about cool or fun subplots. If we're here to protect the town and the world, including the unrepentant serial killers, then we start focusing our attention on Searching and solving puzzles. To protect and save as many Pokemon as we can.

Yes, from a game standpoint it makes sense. I am not and never will be focusing only on a game standpoint. The point where we are condemning someone's soul just because it's easier/more efficient gameplay wise is that point where you lose one of you healers, as I will take no part in such a game.
Now it's 100% a game standpoint. No more fun stuff -- only urgently piecing together the Sin Purge Ritual until it's done, lest Salvage Keep fall into the claws of the Stalkers, and all their souls be claimed.
