Talk:Artoria Pendragon (Alter)/@comment-27376746-20170308081006/@comment-28209103-20170313121422

I don't really get what is dark or evil (which are man made distinction) but humanity fascination to the so called evil or dark force are basicaly something close to their fascination to religion, at the very least that's how I saw it. In this world there's exist "unreasonable evil", something like poverty, famine, unnequality, injustice or simply conflict with others, something that we can't prevent nor we can stop. Of course human being human they are try to solve those problem using their brain and ultimately some people saw the potential of acting beyond the so called "good" to solve those problem. For example they saw the potential of centralistic government to solve porverty, and unnequality and to enforce order (which gave birth to tons of dystopian fiction), for example they feel that some people have too much wealth that it should be fine to take it from them (which gave birth to the so called heroic outlaw or chivalrous thief).

Honestly this discourse are extremely interesting yet complicated, most people need to have a paradigm shift about morality before they could begin to comprehend the contradictive nature of said morality value, and it gets more complicated once psychological stuff involved. but in short human fascination with so called "evil" and stuff associated with it are at least partly rational, it is the same with why human are interested in tragedy and sob story.

Well in case of Alters it's pretty much cuz this game are designed so that offensive > defensive playstyle so yeah, Alters that are geared for offensive in general makes them more valuable than the general purpose OG. IMO even giving Avalon to Artoria doesn't give her any edge over Alter, on the contary she'll be even more useless for me since Instinct are part of my core for maximum Buster Burst.

If OG gonna get any buff I suggest make it NP damage up buff on NP like Gilgamesh, that way she'll be stronger than Alter.
