And here I thought that I started seeing things. Dick-shaped tower right?
You know about the theory of the impossibility of utopia (or whatever it's called)? The more a person has, the more boring his life becomes, which prompts him to seek entertainment in something "else" be it sinful pleasures or bloody murders (fast forward, eh?). Now imagine something like that within the frame of an entire civilization. That's why utopia is nearly unachievable .They have EVERYTHING. And what does a person who has everything want? That's right. Something that morality usually does not allow. For example, building PENIS-SHAPED TOWERS!!!
But seriously, what kind of world is this where you seriously want to kill someone for fun? To feel alive.

It's less about tech itself and more about the way of getting and using it. Vju once said that while making Cragenwall he was inspired by Brotherhood of Steel (Follaut). A militaristic group of quite aggressive technoarchaeologists/scavengers raking in all the "dangerous" technologies from before the Great War. Quite powerful. The stupidest thing is that if they took their fanatical gaze off their precious Codex (like a Bible for them) and started helping the inhabitants of the wastelands, they would be able to restore order and build a new future from the ruins quite quickly. But nooo. They don't even shy away from killing civilians to get the pre-war technologies they need. Perhaps Cragenwall has the same serious problems with morality and acceptance from society as the Brotherhood.
"By whatever means necessary", right?

Yeah, and then our cougar is still surprised that he is considered a scumbag. Although... In Captivity, he destroyed the castle, freed Gervic and his husband from what they were going through, because both the wolf and the dragon were prisoners of their positions. And all the same, his stubbornness will ruin him. Yeah, and then our cougar is still surprised that he is considered a scumbag. Although...

What I find particularly interesting about this page is the contrast it sets up between Zudrec and Cobby. So far Zudrec has been presented as the more logically-minded of the pair, while Cobby seems more guided by his emotions. However, this pages subtly subverts that by actually showing that Zudrec can somewhat almost been seen as an idealist, with his hoping that a utopia could potentially be possible if they can make the technology work. Meanwhile, Cobby is actually shown to be somewhat jaded, despite his chipper demeanor, quite frankly pointing out that technology can’t easily erase one’s inner nature, especially when it comes to conflict.
It’s a nice subversion of everything that’s come before and really helps establish that these two can potentially learn from each other moving forward.
