YOU get a soapbox! YOU get a soapbox!

I know I lose a few people when I drop a computer/console gaming reference, but alas, I've played so much BioWare content that it's practically part of my DNA. I gotta exorcise it a little bit every now and then.

Transcript:

Applejack: Alright, I gotta be OOC for a bit. Jus'… assume I'm givin' Raibow a stern look this whole time.
Rainbow Dash: Oh boy, here we go…
Applejack: Part o' this has been buggin' me fer a while anyway. Ya can't do questionable things and assume we'll always cover for them. You don't get to be the "sin eater" every time. We took on this responsibility as a team. This kinda stunt reflects on us all as a TEAM. An' secondly: The correct answer to a hostage-taking is NEVER "Just burn it down; I don't care!" Ah know you'd rather punch things than let yerself get yanked around, but you gotta look fer more options! You can stall. You can negotiate. You can run a game of your own. Ya don't just blow it all up!
Fluttershy: No to mention, that choice plays right into Discord's hand by creating… this situation…
Rainbow Dash: It was an arbitrary, binary challenge designed by an all-powerful god. Refusing to play might've been seen as breaking Rule 2. There was no guarantee something wouldn't happen to Cloudsdale LATER. The choice I made was meaningless!
DM: So… why do you like the Mass Effect trilogy so much?
Rainbow Dash: Because it was never about the choices being "meaningful" or "important!" That was all marketing!! The choices were just there to make you like the characters more!!!
