>Every life stolen means something, and by the time these characters have gotten to the point they are at the fucking start of this game they would realistically already be psychologically totaled. Either completely dead-eyed sociopaths never to be brought back emotionally from the river they crossed or suicidally broken from having their soul amputated.
that's not actually what happens though. it's a form of catastophizing.
remember that before the 20th century the child mortality rate was 50%. so everyone had relatives who died or themselves died young but enough people still created art and/or dreamed of something better than what they knew. a bunch of musicians and writers had half of their kids die, you'd think they would be too depressed to do anything but here we are.
another example is that both Winston Churchill and Teddy Rooseveldt were actual military veterans.
Druckmann couldn't figure out how to tell the story of how both sides of humanity can coexist but Mazin is taking another swing at it.
