@Nathan_Faxon So… she thinks you’re a civilian so she threatens to kill you if you kill criminals but she wouldn’t have a problem with it if you were wearing a costume? That’s biblical level nonsense there. It’s make more sense if she somehow knew you were a villain… though it still would make no sense that she knew you were a villain. And why wouldn’t she just kill you right then and there anyway? After all, that’s her whole thing right?
I think that if she just saw you in costume she immediatly know that you are are a Outlaw/villain thus far a bigger threat than a mere civilian who can be scarred ^^
Still doesn’t explain why she’s apparently trying to hog all the criminal killing for herself. Also kinda funny that she apparently doesn’t know the definition of the world vigilante since she scoffs at the idea that she is one since the others don’t kill criminals… then immediately describes what she does as pretty much exactly a vigilante who kills people…
I think she is more of an anti-hero/outlaw than a vigilante to shoot at people and makes threat like she do.

More… More than what?
Maybe it’s some weird territorial thing? In sense of: Stop poaching in my territor, while I’m on my watch, low-level dangerous civilian.
Doesn’t explain why by now she didn’t stop a Anti-hero who is killing, too, then…Some working codex, maybe?

Just think about the Punisher then, she will probably not kill an outlaw who have the same methods than her. Well we’ll see what she is up to in the future.

Think of Ricochet as Kalathol’s punisher. Her view on justice is extremely controversial; criminals deserve to die because locking them up won’t make a difference. If she sees a civilian kill a criminals, that civilian is a criminal too because what is going to stop them from killing an innocent next? Another Outlaw killing a criminal, she could find it interesting and will dig more information: are they killing because they share her view or because they’re enjoying it?
She’s incredibly territorial. The Narrows is her place and she works alone. You start taking out her targets, that will irritate her.
And some sense, she is a hypocrite, seeing herself as the one to purge Kalathol of criminals with illegal methods.

So she has some weird complex about people in costumes being inexplicably morally superior to regular civilians?
Well, she herself wears a costume and somehow she has to explain why her killing people doesn’t make her morally bad…
Because killing people isn’t inherently bad, it depends who you’re killing? There. Simple. No costume necessary.
The point is she still is better as other people who do the same as her and for that she wears the costume, because that shows it, so others who wear costums are at least closer to her as civillians. Self-serving reasoning.
This is only her debut, we know next to nothing about her except that she’s an outlaw who kills criminals without a second thought. She hasn’t been explored in more detail yet like the other characters so her reasons as to why she sees herself as morally superior might be revealed later in the game.

@Wraith btw I get this even when not choosing Sentinel (as the rest of the text still correctly assumes):
All I’m saying is that she’s rather inconsistent.
You act as if most people would be even close to being consistent outside their own heads…

Can’t tell if you’re being serious or not.
I can’t read minds, you probably neither. Just because something seems to be inconsistent for an outside onlooker, doesn’t mean that for the person who makes the decision that it is inconsistent, be it because of differing values, morals, expiriences, denial or just because the onlooker lacks the “bigger picter” of said person.
Is the person indeed inconsistent? No, because they can give themself a consistent reasoning. Is it possible that an onlooker still interprets it as inconsistent or just hard to comprehend? Of course. That’s what I mean when I say, outside their own heads.

So what you’re saying is, gravity is subjective.
