If a game could make you hate or love a character so much then they did a good job.

I also noticed that shopping and Inn may not be needed prioritising at times. I went to the Inn to rest up and then went to the shop to buy some decent gear, only when starting to explore I found even better armour for Aika and Bellena got me a free stay at the Inn.

If I knew I'd be getting better stuff for free, I'd save money.

You could always start over again, lol, but it's more fun to find it that way through the game and just continue it.
I remember when playing Sword of Vermilion there's an NPC who gave us a dungeon key to get to some dungeon which we can sell it for money.
After selling it we just need to go back to talk to him and he'll give us the key again.
We can sell it again and repeat the process as much as we want.
While it's useful to gain more money, I just stopped doing it after four times and just move on with the game since it's more fun to get money from the normal way.

Damn man, what's happened to your country, lol.
Even image file provider website got restricted.

Also BBC's turned out as 'silly' as you mentioned before.
It has sparked controversy after calling for restrictions on anime that features suggestive content involving characters with childlike appearances in UK.



In response, Japanese fans pushed back by citing real-world crime statistics, arguing that the United Kingdom records around 30 times more actual cases of child violence or abuse than Japan.
The debate has since escalated into a broader clash over media censorship, cultural standards, and the difference between fictional expression and real-world harm.

Well, my mother says I should be careful over giving my opinions on Britain's current politics over the internet. I mean, I don't go to Twitter or whatever, but I still don't want a visit from the "Starmtroopers".
Especially if the "game" Pathways is an example of UK Govt idealogy they want to press on the people, which shows my way of thinking would be regarded as extreme or potentially illegal just for thinking it.

But yeah, as I said, UK is feeling more like a "nanny-state" every year.

So ... if the majority of people weren't happy with the state why don't they do something about it?

That's just it, various towns and cities are doing something about it.

Nice. That's how it supposed to go.

It is, but if the peasants are revolting and burning the village down, the lords in the tower could just... ignore it.

Burn the tower, not the village.

Only if they got the balls to do it.

I mean, with how much I complained over the state of UK, I wonder why no one has taken another whack at Parliament yet like Guy Fawkes did.

Because people now has social media to complain and it has already made them tired there to even go outside.
Back then there's no other way to complain than bringing it to their face physically.

I guess safer to complain over Twitter than it is to a guardsman who will imprison you for wasting time.

It's still possible to go to jail over a tweet though, for inciting violence or hate speech, depended on the laws of a country.

Oh, right, yeah. If "Pathways" is any indication of what UK Govt have in mind over the British nation, especially with their own Newspeak, that may still be the case.

I'm pretty sure my thoughts I told you on the matter would be regarded as "Illegal Opinions" to them. An actual phrase from the Pathways game.
