1) Ugh, hated that shit to hell. The idea of erasing, implanting, editing and warping people's memories already triggers me since it's esentially the biggest middle finger to one's free will, and since memories make us who we are, remixing memories leads to forced personality changes and the removal, or addition, of traumas, at minimum.

Nilin's complete lack of fuck over her actions or any sort of consequences for them makes me hate that game more.

Remixing a bounty hunter's memories to make her an ally, making her think her hospitalized husband was long dead thus making her likely abandon him for ever. Or remixing a guy's memories and making him think he killed his girlfriend, leading him to shoot himself. Or more simply, overloading people's memories with junk data to render them catatonic.

I hated that piece of shit. Too triggering for me.

2) Don't those spells simply make someone stronger and (generally) more stupid? I don't remember one really involving memory issues. Well, not in games at least. It's hard to reflect such things in gameplay.
