Thinking people in their late teenage years and young adults aren’t mature enough to do some of those things is just a big tell of how bad we educate them rather than their brain not being “developed”.

Consent is the most obvious example, teenagers are gonna have a sexual life no matter what you want them to do. Removing consent just remove yourself from the responsibility of educating them and entice them to stay hidden.

Driving is also just necessary to anyone working, again being safe just need to be taught, plenty of adults are just as immature and stupid.

The same can be said for drinking or smoking, prevention is so much more effective than restrictions.

However, for voting or joining the army that’s when i agree. Because the system is built to prey on them, making sure they stay uneducated and vulnerable. So only then does having restrictions make sens to keep them safe.

Well recently the news in France had the same effect for me. The fascists won the European election, then our president dissolved the National Assembly. And the fascists just seems to be more and more popular recently…

Not sure I share that viewpoint for the US, the history of the indigenous is the story of the people, not the nation.

And the US has many more populations that have great history, from EU and Africa.

But the beginning of its history is founded on the gathering and interaction of all those different cultures.

So for me saying the country is young doesn’t quite have the same connotations of erasure from colonialist, it mostly makes me think of how current the melting pot of all those different cultures are.

I still agree we shouldn’t diminish the importance of indigenous people in it.

I’m exactly like that too. I think my nature isn’t nice, but i can choose to be.

And i’m also admiring anyone that as that nice nature, i find it beautiful and extremely attractive. So to a degree i have that goal of trying to choose it whenever i can.

One drawback, wich also coincide with my very rational personality is that i hate having too strong of an emotion, had anger issues as a kid, but also the start of love is somewhat unpleasant for example.

But hey, to me as long as your trying to be better, your are good person.

In terms of control yes, but it also depend if you use a keyboard or a controller.

It’s pretty well adapted for controller and if you use one then your movement is like any third person game, like the Witcher.

While keyboard has that point to move like Kenshi. Note that there is a mod to switch to the controller movement using wasd.

So if you wish you can move like the Witcher, the gameplay though is strategy turn based, like xcom or gear tactics, so nothing to do with it.

Well it’s a rpg, so plenty of fans are gonna want more tools to choose their appearance…

hairstyles (Tav’s are great) appearance edit ehanced basket full of equipment and transmog enhance etc…

Those kind of mods really gives you all the choices you can get to dress and create you character.

Then there is also some quality of life…

party limit begone Native camera tweaks WASD character movement

The names are self explanatory, to the players that wants those functionality they can be necessary.

Now i’m a bit exaggerating by saying “most fans” because, in fact, most of them don’t use mods. But those who like me really can’t get enough of mods like this to personalize your experience.

Well it’s not like a Skyrim (obviously), but I mean that there isn’t big changes in textures or content for example.

There is some extremely useful mods though. I’m thinking quality of life stuff and appearance choices mostly. The latter was a bit buggy with the updates for me, but i think it got better now.

I think the amount of downloads comes from how necessary these are to most fans, rather than the quantity and quality of big mods.

(Although some small mods like hairstyle are quite high quality to be fair)

P.S. One pretty big exception is 5e spells that do add a lot of much wanted content

If you liked it for the story, bg3 definitively will not disappoint in that regard.

The gameplay is pretty different though, less action, more strategic… It’s not to everyone’s taste, but still worth trying regardless i think.

So, you’re a warlock without the background story?

Ho you’re right i’ve missed this one but it looks pretty good, especially for eldritch blast in a sorlock build…

Technically their is a way around it, but it’s not really meant to since after that their isn’t much to do.

You’ll have plenty of decision like that though, this one is just the first scripted one to show what you will be able to choose later on, it’s pretty smart.

Ha the hardest decision of all role playing games…

Violence or Romance

I might have gone off too smug in my comment now that I reread it. Partly due to oversimplification i guess.

Is it how i spoke of the two approaches that you found smug or is it something else?

I get that, most people are like you, it’s normal. Best thing for everyone is to avoid those persons.

But my point of view is a lot more optimistic, i think having this behavior isn’t all their are defined as. They can still grow and learn, especially on other area of life.

Depending on how much they rely on this behavior you can have two approach…

If it’s little, you can teach them better without them knowing, as long as it doesn’t directly clash with their dogma, but it requires to be subtle.

If they rely to much on it, the best course is to detach their opinions from the real world and only speak to them with very down to earth things.

I know it will not always really work, most of the time my optimistic view is to idealistic. I can have it because i’m more tolerant, maybe too much.

The goods thing is, even if i’m wrong, i can enjoy myself doing this, and for the rare time i do change something in that person, well that feels great.

That’s technically true, but the question then becomes, why are our assumptions different?

If it’s based on different beliefs of what reality is (ground work), it would be normal to fight for truth.

If it’s based on our affinity for the result of the argumentation (the house), it would also be normal to fight for our own benefit and those like us.

So realistically i don’t see any reason as to why we should respect each other’s opinions… all would incentives us to fight for the correct assumptions.

This in itself doesn’t mean we should stop respecting people though!

So if I understood you, you meant in reality we should more or less respect the opinion without arguments based on whether it is more or less subjective?

I do agree those people you speak about are uninteresting and mostly stupid.

But we should respect stupid people, their ideas aren’t always worth respecting, but as people they themselves deserve considering.

And I praise anyone that has the patience to teach morons to be better people despite their own lack of judgment.

Let’s also be clear that people should be respected, unless…

Opinions however are another matter. You don’t have to respect someone’s opinions to respect him.

Unless his opinions are his whole self, but then it goes into the category of the ‘unless’ i can’t respect.

Classical mechanics, right from the first time i learned Newton’s laws, it was always so satisfying to me. Just pure and well rounded logic to explain everything, it’s so neat.

Best example for me was the 2 body problem. Going from the 6 degrees of freedom to a simple uniform rectilinear motion of the center of mass and then leaving us with only 2 degrees of freedom. Such a elegant solution, so satisfying.

That’s not a good argument, nor true.

A foetus is the stage after the embryo, when organogenesis is done meaning tissue and organs have formed, right up to the point of delivery.

This means at delivery, a foetus becomes a baby by coming out, no other changes.

So i wouldn’t really call that difference relevant in a moral debate. The stages of development or number of weeks is, but you can’t really distinguish the two without this specification.

That’s why where i live we allow 14 weeks after the first absence of periods for example.

Edit : I don’t know why i got downvoted, i’d love to hear why i’m wrong. Maybe just to be clear, i agree with abortion, just not this argument.
