Commentary
Okay, we've seen Susan's boots while dressed like this. She can have a proper outfit again.
...What? That's not a weird thing to say.
I found the concept of Susan not being able to explain the potions while using the "drink this" expression, and it just being her saying the same thing while gesturing in the same way to every NPC, a difficult one to get across, so we wound up with a panel that just really hammers home that there's simply no explaining it to the generic NPCs.
Well, that, or they know exactly what's up and are just being weird about it. Either way, the game has decided this is all quite evil.

Dammit, now I want some Deviled Ham.

2019-11-22 20:32:52 +0000 UTCFrom a design perspective I can see that. It requires the player, on pain of starting over, cope with the consequences of their actions. BTW it was only today that I went back through the last few comics and noticed the little "devil" icons over Susan's head as she did the "drink this" emote. Nice touch. I must have been distracted by something else to have missed them. :)

2019-11-22 18:49:54 +0000 UTCShe's probably accruing good points but since she's already at 100, so they fall victim to "if(Player.good > 100) Player.good = 100"

2019-11-22 14:09:32 +0000 UTCThat would imply that being a great landlord doesn't accrue any Good points though, which seems a bit off. But then again, game mechanics

2019-11-22 13:14:24 +0000 UTCMy understanding is Purity and Morality are separate Axes. Purity is more of a gauge going 0-100, with being dirty at 0 and squeaky-clean at 100, whereas Morality supports negative values. Presumably because Susan stalled out at basically the start of the story, she hasn't accrued any Good points, so she sank her Morality score giving Drink This Emotes to the NPCs.

2019-11-22 10:27:25 +0000 UTCGood/Evil are orthogonal to Pure/Corrupt. In this case, Susan is Pure Evil, you are thinking of Corrupt Evil...

2019-11-22 10:21:24 +0000 UTCIsn't she supposed to have flies buzzing around her at this point? Stink lines might be involved too. Or is it intended to be evil emanating from her?

2019-11-22 05:12:52 +0000 UTCI really like what you have been doing with facial and body expressions recently, it's very expressive and exaggerated, but not off the wall to the point where you are distracted by it. Also devil susan hot

2019-11-22 04:45:56 +0000 UTCAh, the great flaw of binary morality games: They usually don't add new actions, they just label some of the actions as evil, and others good. Kind of like how in Fable killing bandits is 'good' ...even when you're just acting in self-defense. (although fewer players are going to complain about mandatory "goodness" morality tracking, because finding evil things to do in those games is usually pretty easy...)
