A Taste of Honey is Not OKay

Well don't expect rallying support for something that seems to only offend you. You are not the main character of this world.

Nice troll post regardless.

What was this post you just made for if not to troll?

Well, this is new, but not in a good way.

That's a whole other argument, but I think we can agree that in this instance it is slavery as they are not working for wages, they are given basic living in exchange for being property of an owner.

Yes. Slavery bad. So is murder...and rape...and conspiracy for murder...and robbery.

So let's just delete the ENTIRE GAME because bad situations are bad.

The guy who set up the Eulmoran system is a real piece of work, and the Free / Bonded citizen dynamic in Eulmore is never portrayed as a good thing.

The fact the Free citizens chose to do what they did, even knowing the potential consequences to Bonded citizens, is a plot point, and they are appropriately shamed over it later on.

So? Many of us know what that can be like and don't want to be FORCED to do it in the game if we want to progress with the story. Additionally in the context of the story it is just us doing it to get some tidbit of info from a random citizen. It doesn't serve a purpose in the story and could have easily been done away with.

I can agree with the second part if it's really as pointless as you claim it is.

The first part though... I'm sure there's something in-game that's made us all uncomfortable at one point or another. The point of story telling is to invoke these types of feelings from other people.

I can point out a whole bunch of uncomfortable spots in the story or in side quests that are along the same level of this or worse. Would you remove those too?

Complete deflection of the issue at hand. As I mentioned before, its okay that slavery is present in the game. It is not okay that we are forced to make our character dance for the amusement of a pervert for very loose story reasons.

My comment wasn't about that, people are just deflecting into that hard. I have an issue with US THE PLAYER being forced to dance for a pervert for MSQ progression.

You say as you hang on the forum to insult people who have a problem with something you don't. Please.

So...

Unsettling things are OK as long as they don't aren't perverted dancing? Seems like a very arbitrary line to stand on.
