Does anyone else hate Sarah Morgan?

[Aetrion]

I somehow just can't stand her. She's such an awful elitist. Everywhere we go it's "Eww, look at these dirty miners in their dirty mining town. If only these greedy corporations would replace them with robots already so I don't have to look at them anymore!" and "I'm very disappointed with you for not gunning down that jaywalker, what a grave injustice letting him escape!"

Then her whole backstory is basically just one giant sequence of events where her actions or inaction caused people to die and all you can do it keep assuring her that she did nothing wrong and is very brave for confronting her trauma.

She took a ship with no shields into a battle and cause it to be lost. She didn't bother telling the rescue crew that came for her to go check out the coordinates of the other shuttle which she had with her at her crash site. She then spent ten years in charge of various organizations with access to ships and adventurers and didn't bother to send anyone, not to mention, if the mission board is anything to go by just paying someone to go check out a certain place on a planet costs you 5k credits tops. She didn't do that either. Everyone who died on Cassiopeia is her fault, and she just gets away with it.

Also, why is she such an awful leader? Seriously, like two hours into the game we figure out that the first person to touch an artifact gets cosmic visions and what is constellation's plan from there on out? "Let's just make the same dude touch all of them." What the hell? Nobody else wants to see the visions? Nobody else wants the powers? We're just all in on making some rando the chosen one for no reason? Why?

We must have very different edition of the game, cause all she shown so far with me is empathy for the less fortunate.

Bro everyone hates Sarah Morgan

[Arkham99]

the fact that you hate her is evidence enough that she's a strong character...:-)

[mutantbeth]

if you actually took her with you you would learn why she wants to stick close to a newbie and give them a bit more responsibility as her protege. she was in your shoes. also shes from UC of course shes snobby

[Южный ааааа]

Yeah, I kinda feel the same but can't pinpoint why exactly. It is how it is. Especially after UC Vanguard questline when she told me that i made wrong call and reasoned it with the most stupid arguments possible.
And I actually felt empathic to everyone else no matter how shallow their writing was (including side questlines characters). But Sarah just feels off

[Aetrion]

I traveled with her throughout my whole playthrough so far and finished her storyline.

She just feels really self righteous to me. Like the endless ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about corporations, while she is in charge of a well funded organization that essentially contributes nothing to humanity until they run across artifacts through sheer dumb luck. Constellation is literally just like a little club of people spending vast sums of money on their personal interests.

Like, if the artifacts didn't exist Constellation would literally just be Sarah and her friends living in a mansion together and going on Safari around the universe while a weird old billionaire pays for it all. She's the most privileged person in the universe, and needs to shut the hell up about replacing working people with robots.

Lazy writing.

I first became aware of this phenomena things to the Wheel Of Time Season 1 review from the youtubers of Knight's Watch (sub channel of Shadiversity). Personally, I don't recommend that review - Halo and Rings Of Power are far more entertaining dumpster fires.

They've notice a worrying pattern in the rise of lazy writing in anything touched or owned by most large corporations. They've more or less given up on being purely objective and given in to cathartic rants, on account of being burned one too many times, but they are willing to give credit where credit is due if the quality of the writing is decent.

---

Once you've seen the pattern a few times, things click into place. Turn off your rational mind and explore your emotions.

---

You are the chosen one. Why? You're special, stop asking questions.

You get a free ride, a free home, and a family who will love you unconditionally no matter how many warcrimes you commit. Your special, so everything you do is for the greater good, even if you make mistakes.

Pain is deep. Emotions matter. Your feelings are real. If you feel wronged, it's because you were wronged. If you feel guilt, it means you're the victim. Nothing is more terrible than negative emotions. Merely experiencing negativity is so awful so as to absolve you of your sins in and of itself. You don't deserve to suffer.

Noone deserves to suffer. Except for the people that do. You'll know them because you won't like them. They will say mean things, that's how you know they are bad. If you're not sure, say mean things to them first, then they'll say mean things back, and you'll know that they are bad, and that killing them is okay.

Morality is fictional construct. All that matters is how you feel. Don't let anyone tell you how to feel. I will ensure that you feel the right emotions by sharing them with you. We have the same emotions, therefore we are one hivemend, and united. It would be very rude if one of us had the wrong emotions about the wrong thing. That might mean they are a bad person.

You are smart, gifted, important. You know what is right and wrong by intuition alone. You want to do the right thing at all times. Any mistakes you make are caused by other people who are manipulating you. Don't listen to them. Listen to me. Listen to yourself.

---

Yikes. Had to stop there. Hopefully reading that is less pleasant than writing it! Anyway, once you understand this philosophy, everything clicks into place. Once you see this pattern, you'll start seeing it everywhere, and I do mean everywhere.

This isn't a new philosophy.

This is actually true, she's one of the better characters because she *does* manage to elicit a dislike in my opinion. Most of them are like "Oh, there's that one person. The one who does the thing, you know the one."

Constellation is what would happen if Musk, Bezos and Branson decided to work together: "We want to explore space... to make ourselves richer and more famous!"

its common in 2023 to make the traditionally hot female character an absolute nightmare in favor of pushing the players towards something else. Though, I think starfield forgot to add the "something else" because as far as I can tell theres only 3 romances. Which is 3 more than I expected tbh.

Yea, pretty much. Constellation is like billionaires going into space or diving the Titanic. I personally have no problem with that, but if they then start lecturing me on the evil of corporations...

Or worse, pouting when I kill of the charismatic but EVIL CEO illegally impounded our ship and sent a hit squad, all over a rock he doesn't know the value, treating the whole thing as a gameshow the entire time. Meanwhile, Walter sheds not so much as a token apology for the fall guy that almost died because he set him up!
