I also don't see how a duel with rubber bullets "decisively and finally sets their differences", which was supposed to be a unique idiosyncrasy of their culture that they were trying to move away from. Like... if we're having a fight and you shoot me with a rubber bullet, why is it final? I didn't die, does the bullet make me not-pissed? I guess you could say they used to be duels to the death, but they changed it to rubber bullets after law enforcement got established- but then, why do the npcs say "let's settle this the old way"? That's not the old way at all... is it?
I imagine they wanted to do Wild West, but then went "omg they might find this barbaric... we can't have a negative aspect to a subculture in this continent, they must all be perfect. Can you change it so we keep the duels but they're non-lethal?"
Everything in DT is so... sanitized.
