* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: If you come face to face with TheDreaded necromancer, you can wisely haul ass in order to live another day. It's not the most honorable of choices, but considering how outmatched you are, it's by far the smartest decision to make.

Never mind the fact he's aware that Demar is partially responsible for causing the university to fall into chaos at the hands of bloodthirsty monsters.

If you station yourself at the Tulan outpost, you have no music to play and witness the deaths of so many soldiers that you refuse to form any emotional attachment to them in fear that you may mourn their passing. When you finally die, you've resigned yourself to your fate, happy to be free of this living nightmare.
