Fable II: What Would You Do?

Today I created a master thief, although I wish there was an option to kill the little pickpocket. Oh well.
Maybe he needed it more than you did.darkstone post=6.73525.830149 said:
Maybe instead of telling him stealing is wrong, you should have asked him why it was nessecary for him to steal and helped him make it so he wouldn't have to.
It's what I would have done. If it were an option. Theft is generally a result of poverty. Most theves are victims of society, not criminals; at least during that period in history.
I, of course, knew this, and lamented my inability to pursue this course of action.
So he just told the boy it was wrong and went on his way. And he stole my things. Oh well.
Apologies for being too much of a goodie two-shoes.
It seems the good answer is the evil answer in this one. If you just tell a kid to stop, he won't. Worst yet someone as unprofessional as the kid will only get caught and his family will starve. But if you teach the kid to be a good thief, he'll be able to provide for his family indefinitely. Being evil is being good in this question.The_Logician19 post=6.73525.831174 said:
That's an interesting thought, but let me counter it.crimson5pheonix post=6.73525.831192 said:
While he may be able to become a master thief and privide for his family indefenately, he would have to steal from other people to do it. What's more, he would (inspired by your genorosity) inspire other people to steal for money. You have to compare the good that would be done for his family versus the harm that would be done to society; teaching him to steal would possibly cause much harm to society, while there's a chance that with my option, the only person harmed is me.
None of the anwers is really right, but what you do in that situation tells what you would do in other situations.
Apologies Abound
Right, what I'm trying to do is be evil, so have you thought that not only am I trying to corrupt one kid, but also corrupt everyone on a city block to the point where none of them work and instead try and steal from each other. When it gets to the point where they can't get food for themselves, I'll gather them up to work for me getting money from other people and giving me a percentage. Also I might be trying to corrupt other people on the forum so if I should play co-op with them, they'll help me.The_Logician19 post=6.73525.831213 said:
. Beggars and pickpockets rot me.
I gotta love the evil choice the most for this one, you inspire a kid to become a master thief
sniff..sniff.. ive never been so proud to be evil.

i know, one minute hes a little boy stealing wallets next thing ya know he's all grown up robbing castles, stealing irreplaceable paintings and price-less valuables from nobles
Yeah, they grow up fast. If he gets to be a problem, though (i.e. becomes competition or starts shit with me, etc.) I'll kill him in a heartbeat.N_of_the_dead post=6.73525.832149 said:
