    Ah, but that's not on Ravel's list ;)

    (If you guys wanted "Age" "Success" or "Ravel" then I'm afraid the 10-choice poll limit is at fault!)

    If I remember rightly, there wasn't actually a true answer to this question was there? The Nameless One's answer was the only one Ravel cared about and thus every other answer was wrong, no matter what it was.

    This will be moved to Off Topic, lol.

    There is the inherent possibility for reflection, ever deeper knowledge understanding, and change at the core of free will (as we experience it). So the answer is all of the above.

    THEN THIS IS MY ANSWER AND YOU ARE THE PROOF: NOTHING CAN CHANGE THE NATURE OF A MAN.

    @Lock Spoiler tag! Spoiler tag!

    I've already played the game, but those who haven't won't know they've wandered into a PS:T topic from the title.

    Nature is immutable; so the answer would be nothing, even tho I voted for Hatred.

    Love, Betrayal, Suffering and Death.

    PS : I think the place of this poll is in "Off Topic", instead of "General" (no connection with BG games).

    all life is suffering.

    ....but once you realize this, it isn't so bad.
  • MedillenMedillen Member Posts: 632
    I would have gone for belief, but regret is the closest here :)

    And please add a spoiler tag. I've tried to do it but I can't >.>

    Regret can change the nature of a man.

    Also, I find it amusing to see Irenicus' portrait under the Power entry.

    I'm calling out from Scatman's world.
    If you wanna break free you better listen to me.
    You got to learn how to see in your fantasy. (2x)

    Everybody's talkin' something very shockin' just to
    Keep on blockin' what they're feelin' inside but
    But listen to me brother, you just keep on walkin' 'cause
    You and me and sister ain't got nothin' to hide.

    Everyone's born to compete as he chooses
    But how can someone win if winning means that someone loses.
    I sit and see and wonder what it's like to be in touch.
    No wonder all my brothers and my sisters need a crutch.

    I want to be a human being not a human not a human doing.
    I couldn't keep that pace up if I tried.
    The source of my intention really isn't crime prevention.
    My intention is prevention of the lie (yeah)

    All of these can change the nature of a man. It is these reactions, emotions and circumstances which define a man and his decisions will come based off exposure to all of these.

    A greedy man will abandon love, not family, romantic or sexual love, but empathy for the people HE TAKES FROM in order to gain material wealth. He will embrace power through his ability to achieve wealth and use the wealth itself to sustain power.

    A man who attempts to gain material wealth also embracing love is an honest man earning in his integrity, diplomacy and fairness. He doesn't embrace the opportunity to achieve wealth, a thing which can only be done through abandoning love.

    To be wealthy you must take more than your fair share.

    All of the above. and pancakes, I`d be *very* suspicious of a man who claims to be able to eat pancakes with blueberry jam, mashed banana and bacon without having his view on life, the universe and everything changed just a little.

    @Tr_ond, I never ate pancakes.

    @Zafiro : You should. Pancakes make the world a better place.

    The first thing that came into my mind was my former devout Christian faith and training that "only Jesus/God can change a person's sinful nature."

    That's a bit odd, I suppose, since over years of studying theology, philosophy, and science, I wound up becoming an atheist.

    That childhood faith is always there, though. My mind no longer believes, but the Jesus of my childhood is still there in my heart.

    You have "nothing" on that list, but not "everything," which is what I would have picked.
