| Well, it does provide gameplay benefits with regard to relationships, which I suppose is opportunistic… but the idea that you present yourself differently to different people is not necessarily reprehensible — almost everyone does it to some degree, and it ties in with the Jungian psychology that’s inspired the series from the start. It’s an extreme example of Jung’s Persona theory of the self, and in that light, the implication is not that the protagonist is being “phony” in any of these cases, but rather has all these aspects within himself and brings them to the fore as appropriate. |
