      This is an even more amazing line than it first appears. Graham is referring to both his execution and his own repentance/salvation. The concept of “baptism by fire” is a staple of LDS doctrine and shows up in LDS scripture fairly often. It refers to the refining of the individual through error, repentance, forgiveness, guidance by God, growth etc.
      An example from the Book of Mormon:
      “And whoso cometh unto me with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, him will I baptize with fire and with the Holy Ghost.”
      That describes Graham’s repentance pretty accurately. Either it’s quite the coincidence, or some talented writer at obsidian really knew Mormon doctrine.

I honestly thought there was nothing more to life than just to suffer and continue to do harm. But I met some amazing people even though at first, I was hesitant I did wrong towards them. Just like everyone else before. But they never saw me as cruel harsh child. They loved me through it all no matter what I did. They taught me to be better, to want to live better, but most importantly they taught me how to love myself. I still can’t get it through my mind on how could they love a kid like me. Even after everything. Why love me? Not a day goes by that I don’t forget about every single one of them who saved me. For that I continue to live a better life and try my best everyday to repay the debt of love they gave me.

    I love the way Obsidian made each of their prominent characters talk in certain ways to make them sound more individualistic. Like Ulysses talking in half sentences and metaphors, Caesar constantly quoting philosophy to justify what he is doing mixed in with just being a stern old man and Joshua quoting the bible even other sentence while applying it to his own life.

    I like that if you look at Joshua Graham's stats: His highest stat is endurance which is at 10, but his lowest stat is luck which is 5. Which explains a lot about Joshua. You can even see that him being a burn victim also affected his strength stat which is 6, his second lowest stat. Showing that he doesn't have much strength due to his burnt skin and muscles. Also if you look at his class it'll say NVDLC02DestroyingAngel.

    A great fall from grace, but graham doesn't find redemption by avoiding harsh actions, or saying outright that pacifism is the answer. I do like that he, if not outright, shows that he has the ability to be cruel and that choosing carefully when and where it is needed is useful rather then out of bloodlust , however i guess his religious beliefs probably fill that sense of justification.

    • @PapitoQinn
      @PapitoQinn  5 ปีที่แล้ว +192

      I particularly like how he mentions that it was a series of small mistakes before a great fall. It's usually similar in Star Wars and real life. With the best of intentions you do one thing and somehow justify it as being for the greater good. But then little by little more things become acceptable as you lose sight of whatever intention you may have had. By the time you notice, it's too late. You've already fallen so far.

    Something I've noticed recently is that, when we refer to characters as "well-written" in fiction, it seems we look at it in two regards. How deep and layered their dialogue is, or how human they act even if it means no intellectual quotes come from them.
    With Joshua Graham, I can say with certainty that the reason we love him so much is because he fills both camps.

      When I was young I had a bad image of Christianity but when you look at the actual thesis of it and the philosophy in the Bible you discover some great stuff, its nothing like what modern churches and some people have turned it into, after all, It's been currupted and utilized for evil since the Germanic Holy Roman Empire.

    One good detail is Joshua's pronunciation of Caesar. Given that he was there at the Legion's founding and spend a good chunk of his years as Legate, there's no way he would have not known the Latin pronunciation (Kai-sar). Instead, he calls him (Sieze-er), the English way. That shows his contempt of Caesar, but since he's a (mostly) reformed man, where public displays of hate is not godly, Joshua insults Caesar in his own, quiet subtle way.

    I must stress this is just my opinion because I know it’s a contentious topic, but I never liked how they did Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi. Not only did he seem inconsistent with past films, but he was a dull, overdone trope: the cynical old man who’s given up and the main character has to fix him. They went for the ‘meeting a legend and he turns out to be just another normal guy’ thing, but they didn’t do it well imo.
    On the other hand, I think Joshua Graham is an example of this idea done well. There’s so much build up to meeting him before Honest Hearts, and when we finally see him and offer our help, he asks for a map and walky-talkies. I know some people don’t like this, but for me it’s perfect. He’s not a myth or legend; he’s a man with grounded, real-world problems to sort out. While absent from the game, he had his own thing going on. His own people, his own war to fight, and his own conflict within himself. He’s not sitting around doing nothing, like Luke. He’s an actual character, with motivations. We want to know about his past, but he’s focused on the present.
    What’s more, when we eventually get the option to ask about his past and opinions of the Mojave, he always gives fascinating answers. The kind of stuff that actually broadens our perspectives and changes our thoughts on parts of the game we thought we knew. Seriously, imagine if they’d done Luke half as well as this. The Last Jedi would’ve been amazing.
