Default Re: "No Gods or Kings" revisited

Spoilers!

I'm probably 75% through, and I just got past the humongo plot twist. (The fact that there was a plot twist was spoiled for me, though I did see the inevitable one coming.) So far I really love the game. And having a girlfriend who lovingly demands my time has forced me to slowly play the game, which has let much of the plot sink in instead of rushing by. For example, the fact that Andrew Ryan mind-controls you into killing him and getting as far as you did in the first place -- why? When he could have stopped you at anytime himself with the same mind-control? Is that because he truly did love you, being his son, and wanted you to be free of the "slave's" bond? Probably the most thought-provoking question I've experienced in a video game. And it's not even over yet.
