Nah, man, that's not always the case.

For example, I joined a gym at 12. And I trained in weightlifting for 4 years. I grew to be almost 190 cm tall. And Sarychev was even taller, at 199 cm.

By the way, I brewed a potion in the game and drank it, and then I immediately doubled in size. In fantasy, increasing one's height is quite a simple matter.

So, you'll spend your whole life playing games, right, Arandor?

I haven't exercised in a while.

Yesterday I did some leg exercises, and now they hurt.

Here, everyone spends their entire life playing games.

And some people even play as Paladins.

Well, let them play. As I said before, games are still better than drugs. Or, even worse, war.

Here's Lock. I looked it up online, and it says that after 30, it's impossible to increase height – you can only slightly lengthen your legs with an Ilizarov apparatus. I think that's true.

2025, playing as Paladins. No, thank you.

I tried starting as a Paladin in Diablo 2. He's actually an interesting class, with a lot of abilities.

Well, in real life, you won't be walking around cemeteries and sewers, killing monsters...
And in real life, you can't even increase your height; you'll just waste time on it, and in the end, you'll become shorter because people shrink with age. So, think about how to spend your life.

The Paladin has some good advantages. He's both a tank and a spellcaster, plus I've maxed out his charisma, so I successfully pass all dialogue checks and often get extra money for it, which is useful here 😎. What about other classes? Nothing special.

Well, you wouldn't go around cemeteries and sewers in real life.

Well, you can, though.

It's just that if you mess up there, there won't be any resurrection.

By the way, I don't know why, but I don't like leveling up charisma. It's only needed for mind magic and, to a lesser extent, light magic.

I tried playing him once, but I didn't enjoy it. Barbarian and Sorceress were more interesting fighters. As I understand it, in Diablo, the Paladin is needed for cooperative play, because his auras spread to the whole party.

Well, man, it's actually possible.

There aren't any monsters there, you won't even encounter many bandits.

The Paladin in PvP can freeze the enemy and dominate him. Maybe not always/not against everyone, but I saw it as a kid when we played at the club.

But you can encounter beggars and drunks in the Necropolis.

And even battle them for valuable loot (a bottle of vodka).

And while exploring the tombs, you can find some candies and cookies to snack on.
