** Considering the angle it looks more like it was an accident and [[spoiler: Katherine]] clearly isn't at all happy with the outcome. Probably not an example of badassery.

* If the whole point of these dreams is [[spoiler: to remove men from relationships that won't result in children, then could committed, but infertile men be subjected to the dreams? and what about lesbians? One would assume that adoption wouldn't be a way out of Ishtar's scheme, for while that is child rearing, it doesn't do anything to increase the population. I guess in-vitro fertilization is still a choice, there, but would that count?]]

to:

* The reason given by [[spoiler: Thomas Mutton/Dumuzid]] for the nightmares doesn't sound very real at first considering the [[spoiler: the size of humanity]]. However when you get to the intro for Axis Mundi [[spoiler: Ishtar]] admits that the stated reason was really just bull and its ''real'' reason was to find [[spoiler: someone who could be her consort to replace Dumuzid]].

* FridgeBrilliance: Vincent always starts the night at the bar with one drink power-up already applied out of a maximum of three. This confused me until I realized, that in every preceding cut scene, Vincent drinks a full glass.

* FridgeHorror: Let's assume [[spoiler: Erica]] was having ''the'' nightmares for keeping [[spoiler: Toby]] from a relationship that would produce children. How many innocent unsuspecting LGBT people could have or did die because of [[spoiler: Dumuzid]] [[IWantGrandkids wanting grandkids?]]

So [[GodIsEvil YHVH]] [[GodNeedsPrayersBadly needs prayers badly]], but there's a minority who don't believe in him, and they are disrupting society to the point of RageAgainstTheHeavens. What does he do with the minority? [[spoiler:Send them through this nightly endeavor by allowing angels to select a person who will obtain "True Freedom".]] This is implied by [[spoiler:Astartoth and Thomas Mutton, both of whom are angels or work under them]].

More than three *** does nothing. This should be evident if you check your entries.


**** [[spoiler: That was Vincent's dream, not Katherine's. There's no indication that people can die in someone else's dream.]]
***** I know [[spoiler: that was Vincent's dream, but he could have been killed and died in the real world because Katherine would have killed him if she had gotten the knife.]]
****** Wait, I thought [[spoiler:Katherine was going to kill Catherine.]]
******* She could [[spoiler:be planning on using the knife as a bluff. Considering that she was horrified to see that she accidentally killed Catherine.]]

*** Since it was just [[spoiler: a dream Katherine]] was just a [[spoiler: part of Vincent's own mind and obviously couldn't actually plan anything]]. Whether or not [[spoiler: the dream had to go as shown or if it could have gone another way (possibly leading to Vincent's death or a bluff) is very unclear]] especially since we don't know if it really was [[spoiler: the kind of dream where you can die or if Catherine had anything to do with it]].



**** I know that, but the point of winning the Nightmare Sequence doesn't have something to do with making babies. [[spoiler: Men are thrown in there to die because they are in a relationship that won't produce kids. Erica had the nightmares because she was with Toby, who wants kids but didn't know she was a transsexual.]]
***** It is never proven that Erica is having THE nightmares. All the talk seemed to only give her just one, unrelated nightmare.
***** Even if she was having the Nightmare, you don't have to follow [[spoiler: Dumuzid's]] rules to escape. Vincent is able to win even if he takes the Cheaters or Freedom route.

** [[spoiler: Bear in mind that Dumuzid is working under Ishtar, a goddess of ''fertility''. It probably has less to do with actually keeping the human population up; rather, suppose that in order to sustain her power or possibly even to exist, Ishtar needs humans to breed? It certainly makes more sense then, if that were the true purpose.]]

** It seems to mainly be an issue of people leading their partners on.

cut the back and forth about life choices. frankly offensive and begging for an elongated conversation/argument on the page.


** Just a wild guess but I don't think [[spoiler: Dumizid]] minds LGBT people that much if they're honest about their life choice. The main targets are people who have insecurities about their relationships and [[spoiler: Erica]] is one of them.

**** [[RuleofCautiousEditingJudgement Let's just put it like this....]] Life in this game seems to be based on choices; [[spoiler: Erica]] ''chose'' not to inform [[spoiler: Toby]] that all was not as it seemed, in a sense. It's pretty high on the dishonesty scale.
