Am i the only one feeling sad for the Marshal? (Burke)
Out of all the characters the game had thrown on me, the Marshal is the one i was most sympethetic towards. A man consumed by his work, always seeking validation and renownment, praise and status, fame and fortune. he is a human being who was let down by our society, fully convinced that all these things would fill the void in him. but in reality it never did and never will. and the bliss made him see how much more life can be, problem is, he never needed the bliss, the bliss is like a drug, or medicine to help mentally challenged patients see clearly when they couldn't before. it is balence between the work and commitent to reality and the simple human things that truly make us happy. and i think it's clear the marshal was blind to it until the bliss made him see otherwise. seeing him happy was such a shift in his character because he was not happy before in the intro. he remindes me of myself, as i too once didn't value human conncections, i thought all i needed to be happy was more materialism and more expensive things, more stuff, but all that did was make the void inside me bigger. uhh...yea i'm not sure why players hate the guy, giv em a brake yall ): also shold mention his fate, he didn't kill the mayor guy and himself out of his free will, he was genuially trying to get back to reality, but the bliss was too far into his system giving Faith control over him. so in a way, Faith's bliss did make him happy at the cost of his own free will.
