Now fastforward ( Even though time is an illusion which is different than the breakdown of energy ), anyway fastforward and you realize humans start abusing and neglecting their own children and sometimes they can become withdrawn but those severely abused by humanity have their brain change to where humans are seen as potential prey and are seen as weaker and even less intelligent. To some it seems odd but from the Psychology the brain does what humans did to their environment as in they have to evolve to survive but now the environment for this individual is other humans as the enemy instead of ancient predators/animals/plants.

I am not a doctor or licensed psychologist but I know things and the origin of Vampire and Werewolfs are thousands upon thousands of years old and come from human psychology. Some people are born different while others are molded but evolution which has been witnessed in human life times shows how animals have parts of them changing size or completely dissapearing as for example in some parts of the United States rattlesnakes now are born without rattles often and in some places not at all. This is just one example of many. Anyway as said before nurture and nature are very connected and serial killers, most human predators are created by humanity be it born or molded. It is nice to see someone working on this game knows about dark psychology and am sorry if that individual was abused themselves or abandoned when young for them to aquire this dark reality and knowledge or maybe it was just found because the individuals were intelligent/logical. I like to clarify I don't condone the harming of any innocents, especially children or anyone but wanted this post to show the hard work that clearly had gone into this game and it is deeper than most give it credit. It is a living type world with so many options to do what you want and explore a beautiful world that has references and psychology of many things.

I don't agree with all that the OP lays down by the argument that '[x] is just [y]' has always been nonsensical. Nothing is just something, a thing has a nature, and it is that way for a reason defined by nature or the mind of the creator (when speaking of fictional works). To think that [x] is just [y] is hedonistic in its lack of logic. Everything deserves analysis, it's the very basis of erudition. If we ever believed [x] is just [y] about anything, we would never have bothered with that whole science thing we're all quite excited about.Doctordarkspawn wrote: »Sometimes stuff is just fantasy dude.
