KOTOR2 - Mass Effect 3. Apathy is death.

[Metalix Knightmare]

I always found that bit in KOTOR 2 hilarious. I would say that I didn't care and then they would all say apathy was death and attack me...and I would MURDER THEM ALL EASILY. Totally undercut their point.

Not really. If you picked a side, some would be dead, and some would be alive. You chose to do nothing, and as a result of that they all died.

Apathy is death.

Yeah but its not MY death so I don't really care.

I feel like we're going around in circles a bit here...

So you admit that the point went right over your head then?

Your allies are asking you to make a choice, kill your mentor Kreia for being sithy, or kill them in an attempt to defend your teacher. It's a crap decision either way, but if you do nothing you have to kill them ALL and you are left with no one else to help or guide you. Even the Droids get in on this! Bad options made WORSE through inaction!

I...huh.
Yeah, I never really got that. I played that game ages ago when I didn't really do much thinking. That kind of makes sense now. Sort of.
When I played that game I never really felt as though I new why I was doing anything. Shit, I really didn't pay attention. Maybe I should go back and play it.
Wait, maybe not. I'd have to go through peragus again. Screw that place.

Never you fear my good sir! There exists a Lets play done by someone who has a pretty good grasp on the subtleties and messages in KOTOR 2. It's a pretty interesting read, and even goes into some cut content. Check it out here:

Really, the amount of symbolism and messages just in the opening bits are pretty amazing.
