And I thought you were given the choice of either trying to save the whale or letting it die...

You are correct, Charley. There is a trapped whale on the beach, time is running out, and you are given the choice between freeing the trapped whale or using it for food. I always free it.

It's that I have posted to Antiragweed in PM with the spoiler (he/she? doesn't have VV1) for freeing the trapped whale. But I was unable to tell what happens when you eat the whale, I never choose this answer!

SHE! Antiragweed be a she!! lolol

OK!!

I did not have a choice in it my villagers were starving!!! I chose eat the whale...I got 2000 food thoug and saved my babies!

it's what I thought! it coud be helpful!

Off-topic: I always liked how choosing to save the whale in that event gained a free level of Spirituality.

On-topic: This game in no way condones the killing of whales at all. The 'likes whale meat' is nothing more than a phrase randomly generated by a line of code. You can be offended if you want, but before you run around complaining try to remember that IT'S JUST A GAME.
