Fixed in red. You gave all the evidence we needed. That description practically defines megalomania. Could someone else have done this? Absolutely. He uses people for his needs. He has the psychological need to feel in charge. The latter is clearly evident the way he makes Shepard wait for him to finish his puff on the cigarette and clearing of the ashes.


:huh::huh: wut?

Reading into things a bit too much, aren't we?

Which actions stand out to you and how do you define "evil" anyway?

"Evil" is not that difficult to define: hurting people which aren't hurting you (or at least trying).
Do not do to other what you would not like to be done on you and your loved ones.

I think that post tells us more about her than it does about TIM.

You know, there are people who analyze human behavior and thought processes based on movements, gestures and facial expressions.

TIM is one of them. Aria is also one.

Some people can do the same to them.

Even if they did as long as it served a useful purpose I don't care.

The worst problem which Cerberus is just that: they don't even limit themselves to "necessary" evil, they just go on a "useful" evil.

Cerberus scientist: Hey! I just discovered eating Asari baby alive makes you in perfect health with a 5 percent increase in physical and mental capabilities!
TIM: Let's kidnapp Asari babies and feed them to our soldiers!

Humanity. Pfft. Full of wonderful ideas that look nice in concept, but all end up the same eventually.

It always starts with:
"Organization X exists for humanity's interests."

And then somewhere along the way, it'll become:
"Organization X is humanity!"

Until finally, when enough people have drank the kool aid:
Leader of organization: "I am organization X!"

Cerberus is already at step 2.

It is necessary to be efficient and expedient. Cerberus must do this because they are outlawed and hunted.

And at the end it'll be:

This is all you have left. Organization X is finished.

On the contrary, Organization X has accomplished everything I ever envisioned and more.

Organization X is more than just an Organization, it is a belief, a mindset, and it will endure.

Nope. That won't happen.

Because there's something even more powerful at play than what the Organization is trying to do.

I think not.

Regardless of which chain of events transpire the advancement of mankind will not stop, nor will the need for a Cerberus disappear.

Being outlawed and hunted is just a result of being a minority trying to force yourself on the rest of the population.

I don't think so.
Ieldra2's point is mostly about "necessary" evil (which at least can be debated, even if it's likely a dead end) and emotional over-reaction.
Yours is just "usefulness" (not "necessity") is enough to justify anything, which can lead to stupid things like the example above.

What point are you trying to make? I mean you realize what Cerberus does and what the Alliance or Council do are the same thing in so far as they force what they want to do on others via' force.

Oh, you are, but you're too dense to realize it.

In this case, it will.

Because there's always something more powerful in play. Just think about that one for a while.

I really don't think you understand the concepts at play here. Not surprising.

Not enough.

True evil imples having no remorese, not caring about others and enjoying the suffering.

After all, if a plane with a nuke and full of civilians is heading right to the city you live, and youre clsoe to the outskirts with a bazooka - would you be evil in shooting it down?

If several people who escaped a quarantene with a deadly virus try to get into your home to get supplies, and you shoot them - are you evil?

You know, your points would probably be made more effectively if you didn't make baseless insults at people just because they disagreed with you.


Also, your answers, as someone already previously pointed out, aren't really about need for "hard choices." it's about usefullness of these unethical behaviors. And bioware makes a pretty strong hint as to the ultimate "usefulness" of their behaviors by the fact that 9 times out of 10, the cerberus operatives end up dead or worse.

It's not like they're people or anything.

I think you pulled that number out of thin air. Tell me this, if Cerberus is so inept then how are they threat to anybody? How have they survived?
