Expedition: general discussions.

Back in the day, after Livia's death, I was also a bit negative. I was given a series of lectures explaining that Revan's experience is all about hardcore gameplay and being prepared for your character to be severely punished for even the smallest mistake at any moment. I took this information into account and continued playing as long as I could. Thanks to this, I experienced memorable situations like the fruit incident, being zombified by cultists, and the hilarious trips to the gym. I don't regret anything.

This is what should have been discussed a year ago when I asked about the essence of the game, instead of telling me about "amazing randomness"...
When I signed up, I hoped to "avoid" all sorts of "gambling elements," but I didn't expect that I would be prevented from playing the way I want. And this "want" isn't about "becoming the best" or anything like that, but about "making the most of what the setting offers." Instead, it turned out to be: "Want to get your monocle back? Here's a month of imprisonment and a stat penalty. Want a bag? Here, you get nothing." Plus, it turns out that NPCs here aren't "on equal footing with player characters," but are on a "special level." No, this won't work...

Overall, Yaschur, I sympathize that your first experience wasn't very good.

But it couldn't have "turned out well." If I had known how "everything is arranged" here, I wouldn't have even come close...
