I think this is one of the defining moments of Nick’s character that separates him from Gravis and especially Shang. He accepts his flaws but acknowledges his true purpose or wanted purpose. He is far more introspective compared to the previous mc’s at his current stage of power and ponders these aspects whole heartedly. As much as I feel power is the most important, I feel that self-understanding is second to if not just as important on the overall path-to-power. Because of this, I feel that Nick has equal if not greater than potential compared to the previous MC’s. Of course, this could change over time.
