Which of the following would you rather have? CYOA - In general, people pick Comfort or Power. But the Motte is built different (laughs). As a fun exercise, pick your option and predict what the Motte will choose.
Wrap this part in || to spoiler, please. (And try to pick your honest choice rather than the socially desirable one if at all possible)
I thought I'd pick comfort, but it's description in this completely sucks.
Their idea of comfort is to start at the top of the social heap, and to feel an obligation to do something with that position or at least do a lot to maintain it. How is that comfort? I'd describe that option as the "head start in life".
Some of the other options get freaking super powers. The power option actually sounded like a better option for achieving a life of comfort.
The life of comfort as id imagine it:
Live in Elysium a mostly post scarcity society that is in an orbital habitat. No one there needs anything. Whether that is medical attention, resources, etc. Your body will be maintained in near perfect health until you are 100 years old. At which point you will die peacefully in your sleep.
People on earth live in terrible conditions, you can do nothing for them except selflessly offer up your spot on Elysium.
There are five year age gaps between generations, so if you stick with mostly your generation you won't have to deal with the death of friends.
Basically just live out some fun social settings, drink and eat whatever you want for a hundred years. But ultimately you live a meaningless life of ease. That is comfort.
