Puppet looks and child puppets

[Rickodo]

I notice 2 things I would like to hear your opinion about it :-)

So we destroy a lot of puppets in the game and mostly, I think they are mindless puppets in control of Romeo or Geppetto. But also we meet some that are, alife. They think and start to feel. With that in the mind, it feels a little, wrong that we also meet some children puppets in the game that we most destroy. Dont know why they build children and even baby puppets but that we must destroy them. I´m honest. At some point in the game, or maybe after the first run, I would like it more if we get the chance to save or free some puppets. What you think about it?

The second point. I now looking for logic in a video game is wrong :-D
But still its strange if you think about it. That the puppets where build to look mostly human and harmless. Many puppets are like that but there are also some that look very creepy. The Parade Master we fight look nothing like we saw him on some posters. Also the Clown Puppets or others. If they are build to serve humans or entertain children, why they build them so creepy? I know that for the players, its for the horror. But for the in game logic, its strange. What you think about it?

1. Those are only the outer shells. The Ergo inside of the "young" puppets could have come from any random person. My running theory, which the lore seems to support, is that the puppets who regain some semblance of sentience are ones who got almost entirely the Ergo of one person, while the others are amalgams of little bits of several people mushed together. So saving puppets is good, yes, but there's no reason to focus on the ones who happen to have child-like bodies.

2. It's a little exaggerated, yes, but people do tend to make some very creepy or at least 'uncanny valley' mascots and animatronics and such in real life too unintentionally. In the case of the police bot, some of the lore scraps say that most people found it really creepy-looking even before it was malfunctioning, but that the street urchins really loved it.

The ergo in a puppet is not from a single person, but the crystallized essence of human memories from many different people.

Also, you absorb Ergo when you kill enemies, and incorporate it into yourself as you level up, so in a sense you are freeing them, or at least, helping them get their revenge as part of the awakened puppet that is bringing down the alchemists.
