I swear, every Soren post you make makes me want to play the Tellius games even more.
It is not outside of the human psyche to be worried about something logically ridiculous, but it's a problem in terms of storytelling power. The presentation of this fear as completely baseless depowers it.
Obviously, I can't say much about Soren here, but I'm really glad that you made this observation, since it pertains, really, to every piece of writing or media you see, and just really helps to emphasize how closely related characterization and storytelling ability are intertwined. Staying in the fandom bubble, so to speak, Lucius and Priscilla are examples of characters who frequently fall into this pit, and I'm also very much reminded of Mark's earlier post regarding Lyn.
