Even though the damage he recieved during the mission into Walter Sullivan's secret kingdom reduced him to an inert mass, Roger's "injury" is far from life-threatening, and after he and the other BPRD members returning to HQ are shipped back, the incumbent engineering crew are able to outfit him with a replacement generator.

I'm really glad you're all right, Roger. We were worried about you

Is it normal to be unsure of whether you should hate someone like that, or simply feel sorry for how pathetic they were? If he didn't entirely choose to follow that path, because of the town god, is it wrong to feel a little pity for him? Everything in there stunk of hatred, rejection.

It was like he wanted you guys to find him and end his misery.

It's normal, and you shouldn't feel bad...not at all. I don't think it's wrong.

But I've done a lot of thinking about it, and I'm not going to feel sorry for him, and I don't think that's wrong, either.

If he really wanted us to kill him, he wouldn't have made it so damned difficult. I think part of his thinking was that if he was miserable, everyone else had to be, too.

I'm both the best and worst person to be talking to you about this. I'm glad you asked the Nexus about it....

That's not wrong, either. It was too late to help him when he killed himself to set the whole thing in motion. Even though he was being compelled, the way he hounded you and your friends was too.... too.... vindictive, to just be the god leading him. You have more than enough reason to not pity him, and those ghosts were probably also people that he hated for one reason or another.

I don't think that he was not responsible for what he did. It just seems wrong that he had to have lived such a painful life.
