(Spoilers) KoTWH
Spoilers below about the end of the first game.
I'm confused about that moment where the KoTWH appears and wants to take Jacques, and you need to decide whether to concede or not. I feel as if the character (KoTWH) wasn't built well enough by that point to make the importance of the decision evident. Maybe there's more fleshed-out lore in the books, but as a player who plunged into the world via the first game (not yet the second, btw, so no spoilers there please), I didn't understand what the heck does it matter. For me, the KoTWH seemed like some creepier version of the grim reaper. As far as I know, he's the ferryman, tasked with collecting the dead for himself.
At that moment in the game I stared at the screen and I told myself: I realize this is meant to be some morally significant decision, but I don't know what's at stake. I didn't see any pros or cons at all. It was like asking me decide between Nike or McDonald's - I didn't even understand the category of the decision.
I'm pretty sure that this isn't summed up by "do you want to enact your revenge yourself, or let a wraith do it". If so, it's kind of anti-climatic. Can anyone explain then what I should have noticed was at stake, with this decision, morally speaking?
