[QUOTE="Crimson Longinus, post: 8598018, member: 7025508"] You're grossly misusing words. It is no wonder your point doesn't get across. (And you have one here with which I partly agree.) It might be wise to aim to express yourself with a tad more precision. We don't need academic precision here, but your posts were genuinely confusing. Yet that was progressive compared to autocracies that were norm at the time. It's not a binary, there are degrees in this. Just like in a modern world a non-corrupt multi-party democracy with proper proportional representation is better that a heavily lobbied two-party system with voter suppression and all sort of archaic structures that actually mean the vote is not proportionally representative. I would mind living in such a system. But I would also mind going into caves armed only with a sharp piece of metal fighting monsters ten times my size. 🤷 Like I said earlier, I agree with the part of your point. And I think the issue arises from the alignment system or other such simplistic moral frameworks. Just present the things as they are, and let the players decide how they and their characters feel about it. I don't mind morally dubious things existing in the game world, but I mind the game telling me that those things are actually good! [/QUOTE]
