Expedition: general discussions.

Instead, I’ll say that you are wrong because you are discriminating against attractive characters. That is, pumping up intelligence, getting fantastic bonuses to learning and, accordingly, to abilities for it, without any effort from the player, is normal and fair, against the background of those who did not pump it up and sit with zero points, or being a tournament brute with pumped-up strength, doing well in physical education, and getting a reward for it; but when a couple of autistic people, who pumped up completely useless attractiveness at the expense of themselves for role-playing, or spent money on it in the form of clothes, suddenly have the bonus removed towards the end of the game, then this is lookism, and who did you leave us with, Grandfather Thiary?

What does gameplay have to do with it if players who don’t like Rinze criticize the role-playing aspect of the Empress’s (and a number of other characters’) actions, and not the game mechanic decision on the part of Revan? Moreover, I quite pumped up beauty for my character, and even more than you did. And what does Thiary have to do with it at all? Only Alex and Aretz used his character as a positive example; a more common statement was the joking “Rinze is Thiary in a skirt.” In terms of gameplay, I didn’t have any particular problems with beauty (although the mechanic did require some refinement), as I myself told Revan before that the stat was useless. But in terms of RP, such rules somehow contradict the attempt to create the image of an effective ruler, which Rinze should be according to the narrative. Rather, it created the image of someone detached from reality.
