This is a followup to @SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 's recent thread for completeness' sake.
I'll state an old classic that is seen as a genre defining game because it is: Myst. Yes, it redefined the genre... in ways I fucking hated and that the adventure game genre took decades to fully recover from. It was a pompous mess in its presentation and was the worst kind of "doing action does vague thing or nothing at all, where is your hint book" puzzle gameplay wrapped in graphical hype which ages pretty poorly as far as appeal qualities go.
So many adventure games tried to be Myst afterward that the sheer budgetary costs and redundancy of the also-rans crashed the adventure game genre for years.
Unshackling billions from the control of an entity with mysterious but demonstrably harmful motives isn't the same as taking billions for a ride. The Mandalorian War was the will of the force. Krei is of the opinion that another disaster like that is bound to happen, and if she doesn't do everything in her power to kill the force, then the casualties are her fault.
In favor of following the agenda of an entity with constantly selfish and deceptive motives that have actively harmed and murdered many people in the course of the game?
As I have already said, she had no evidence or prior experimentation to prove that other living things could actually survive in any sustainable way in the game's setting without the Force altogether. She was doing a spite-driven experiment, and since she killed so many to get there, she's fine with dragging absolutely every living thing in the galaxy all-in with her.
I get that you like the novelty of what she was doing, but trading one galactic scale entity for a small-scale one and calling the big one murderous and trusting in the little murderous one is bad reasoning to me.
Kreia wasn't emancipating anyone. There was no revolution. She threw away the lives of her own followers just to get them in the protagonist's way. Liberation didn't matter to her. It was another lie. It was all a spite agenda. She was just another tyrant, and she'd throw you away just as quickly if not more quickly for her own selfish agenda.
Kreia had proof that people could survive without the Force. The Exile isn't a force user. I also don't believe her ideal of destroying the Force is synonymous with her methods. The Dark Side of the Force corrupted her from her ideals because that's what the dark side does. That's kind of the tragic irony of her character. She could never really escape the force. She could identify the problem, but unlike the Exile, she was incapable of enacting the solution upon herself. It's a cool story.
Kreia's track record consisted of killing and destroying everything within reach to further her own selfish agenda. Your belief that she was some kind of savior is buying into another lie of hers while her track record says otherwise.
Again, Kreia wasn't emancipating anyone. There was no revolution. She threw away the lives of her own followers just to get them in the protagonist's way. Liberation didn't matter to her. It was another lie. It was all a spite agenda. She was just another tyrant, and she'd throw you away just as quickly if not more quickly for her own selfish agenda.
And as I already said, there was no real evidence that if she got her way that life itself would survive her spite agenda, not with what is known in the setting's canon about how the Force works, tyrannical or not.
Actually, there was evidence. The Exile cut themself off from the force.
And that would totally work just fine for the entire galaxy?
I'll put it another way. Let's say there's a powerful and cruel tyrant that has command of all the grain fields across a land that uses grain as its staple crop and its primary source of food.
One day, someone who really hates that powerful and cruel tyrant orchestrates an elaborate rebellion, its forces consisting of irate farmers that used to harvest grain for the tyrant.
Then, the real master plan goes into motion, that someone starts murdering their own fellow rebellious farmers by setting the grain fields on fire and making sure to destroy each and every possible vestige that might grow back. Ostensibly, it's because the tyrant benefits from people needing grain, but lots of those farmers are killed in the massive grain field fires that keep spreading and spreading.
One person doesn't need that grain to survive; they forage.
You're saying burning all the grain is cool and good and destroying everyone's ability to ever grow grain again is cool and good because the tyrant used it as a basis for their power. And you're saying that all the people burned to death in the grain fields had it coming because they were still dependent on the grain. And the implication is foraging will totally work for absolutely everyone left that wasn't already killed in the grain fires.
You don't speak for me, and neither does Kreia. You can solipsistically say I'd be a slave to the Force (unlike you or unlike Kreia, which already has holes in it considering Kreia was still driven by negative fixation agianst the Force, still driven by its presence and reacting to it) and maybe you'd say if Kreia killed me too that was all part of her oh so heroic plan. And that's not cool to me.
