Jin: "I've heard there was trouble in the area, how can I help?"

Peasant: "Holy shit theres still samurai around? I thought they all died on the beach."

J: *suffering both from a ptsd episode and the horrible guilt of not killing the people, who burn civilians alive, in the eye* "N-no, we're still a-around."

P:"Alright. Well theres a mongol encampment nearby where they've captured my entire extended family!"

J:"Don't worry, I'll save them!"

*saves the peasant family*

P: *dying on the ground, surronded by dead mongols* "L-lord Sakai, they came for me not long after you left, thank you for saving my family! No matter what you do you'll always be our hero." *dies*

Jin: "FUCK, is this ghost persona Ive been undertaking really worth it if I cant even save a single life?! What about my honor and uncle Shimura?!" *completely forgetting about the thousands of others he has saved because of the ghost persona hes using*

Tale end

Average quest in Ghost Of Yotei

Peasant:"A mercenary! Oh thank the gods. Youve gotta help me!"

Atsu:"Shut the fuck up, pay me first dickhead."

P:"Ok, so theres an encampment of Lord Saito's men down over by the way, where they've killed my whole family after I refused to join them! Help this other merc I hired to put the dogs into ground!"

A:"Ok"

Mercenary:"Hey waitaminute you're that onryo women, Im going to get that bouny for sure!"

*kills all of Saito's men and the mercenary*

P:"Damn this sucks, killing those guys havent made me feel better about my dead family in the slightest! This is a really interesting reflection of the cycle of vengeance and how maybe you should try to heal and focus on the future instead of continuing your death quest and focusing on the past?"

A:"Therapy hasnt been invented yet, so Im just doing what everyone else is doing and using extreme violence to try and fail to avoid my problems and grief! and also Lord Saito's guys are going to keep doing this shit unless if I stop him because Clan Matsumae sure isnt winning this."

P:"Thats fair." *leaves*
