A lot of things went wrong that day. Or right, depending on how you see it.

Selfish is one thing. Killing a family of innocent people for money is another.
I doubt most people would do it.
We're talking about 1 trillion dollars here. I'd like to think most would not push it, but I think it to be the case.

1/20 of the U.S. debt.
More money than the annual Department of Defense budget.
I'm pressing the damn button. I want my money.

I don't think I would push the button. Too much of my self-worth is tied up in thinking that I'm a relatively good person.
I'd probably go all the way in the Milgram experiment, though, since my standard response to scientists is to trust them.

The shattered remains of my self worth would be suppressed by a Scrooge McDuck style money pool.

Family Guy effectively illustrates the cruel reality regarding Scrooge's money bin.

I thought that test was faulty, since there wasn't an understanding in some or maybe many of the participants on what the physical damage of the voltage would actually do to the human body. Unless they revamped the test with a "warning: high voltage could be potentially lethal" label on the power increasing device used.
That's why I'm using paper money that has been properly poofed up for extreme swimability!KaiserShep wrote...

The "victim" begged people to stop, screamed and banged on the wall. I understand your reluctance to accept this but people are very capable of doing terrible things, especially if they are told that they won't be responsible for the results.

The one big instance I specifically remember was trying to resolve the Landsmeet. Another one is the fate of the dwarves.

"Characters".. sure.. well mostly. "Decisions" not so much, at least not to me (ex: advice to Alistair later influencing his decision at the Landsmeet) . Although, quite a few times highly risky Prargon decisions did not have any blowback as well (trying to save the possessed noble kid, etc..)Baelrahn wrote...

Really?
I was always thinking the key characters were incredibly black & white. I know that Gaider's ultimate goal is the exact opposite, but that's just how I perceived it. You just knew exactly what was the "good" and what was the "evil" choice(s) in both of those situations. Maybe even more so with the dwarves.

Humans hide behind a facade, and trivialize some of the most horrific things. It is when you stand in the middle of it all that you realize humans are no better than rabid animals.
