: The Ghast reference in GURPS (Thrall reference points to
: this for info) says that they don't really "think
: or have a personality". Apparently if you were to
: remove the Slave Mentality and Reprogrammable Duty
: disadvantages, you might create a more conscious
: creature, horrified by itself.
: However, despite this, it's true that it does also
: mention that they occasionally have spurts of visions
: of things from their former lives, so it seems
: reasonable to assume that they're not completely brain
: dead all the time. Just some of the time. Much like
: myself.
Yeah, they feel more than think. Wights, according to their flavor, are in constant agony. Ghasts and Thrall may not be consciously disgusted by themselves, but they probably don't feel great.
