Firstly is just that emags have worked differently up until now obviously, but more so im referring to just character traits of being lenient, trusting, etc. Like, I definitely get the metagaming aspect, but I wanna note that not fixing an emagged borg can have nothing to do with who the borg is and completely be on the roboticist or other people who are supposed to fix them having their own opinions on things IC.
I truly believe that this is a problem and something that should be fixed. This feeds the "having laws is So Mean to borgs, they should be Free" rhetoric. Treating the Base Game State (cyborgs on Asimov) as something that is morally bad, and discouraging repairing an antagonistic action, is something that I specifically do not want to see from non-antagonists.
