I jumped on the bandwagon when the game got popular and recently finished Heavensward. I'm not going to go into spoilers, but the game has some of the worst politics I've ever seen in a videogame. I didn't expect anything good, but jfc it was so much worse than I imagined, especially the first part, ARR.

Anyway, I don't want to spoil anything for people who might want to try it out, but I have to share my pain with someone or my head will explode. I didn't know if I should post it here or on the dunk tank, but it's a screenshot from a videogame, so I settled on this community.

I present to you: the worst take of all times. For context, that's basically the protagonist and the leader of the organization that tries to pretent world ending events. And if anyone thinks that just means killing monsters, they also overthrow corrupt kings and fight evil empires. In the most liberal way possible, it's insufferable.

    I don't mind the protagonist trope in a fictional world with magic and gods, of course in that setting great men will be far more influential than in the real one.

    I just wish the main characters did something good with their powers because they believe in improving the world, not because they want to keep the status quo.

    I'm asking too much, I know. In capitalist fiction, only villains are allowed to try and improve the world.

        I might make another post after I'm done with the whole story, but considering how long it's taking me, it probably won't happen for a while.
