Huzzah!

This post is clearly full of people WHO CLEARLY HAVE NO GAMBLING PROBLEM.

The arguments are even more ridiculous if you substitute an addictive drug for gambling.

“But vicodin and oxy are legal, how’s that fair!” “Plenty of kids are prescribed painkillers in other countries and they are fine!” “The regulatory agency is just trying to punish heroin for being way better than the rest!” “I think all drugs should be legal, anyone should be allowed to make whatever mistakes they want with no oversight!”

Gambling at an arcade is exactly the same. All you’ve done is lower the stakes so hopefully it couldn’t affect you.

Apparently whatever the person you replied to feels it is supposed to be. Something something common sense.

Essentially you have it right, although I wouldnt say charities should dissolve as a rule. If there aren’t enough people to do the work with the right goal in mind though I dont think the answer is to pay more and get capitalists in the door.

I have a strong aversion to greed minded people in general though so I’m very biased here.

Yeah but that save could be ages ago. Took me like a month to realize you could turn on autosaves, and that still resets you back to the last loading screen.

Maybe this is just a good example of where people react differently to different things. Its hard to say what will be frustrating before it happens.

Its not simply people doing what’s best for the selves, its greedy parents who have raised greedy children who grow up thinking their job title and bank account number represent who they are. They could choose any other values to pursue in life but actively choose greed each day.

The catalyst to change oneself comes from within, so I hold people responsible who refuse to learn or change.

Its not a few. America is full of scams and exploits at literally every turn. Its in advertisements, news stories, popular TV and movies.

The point I’m making is that people think at least charities will be the exception to that rule, but they aren’t. You’d be better off donating to a non-american organization IMO.

Competent people who don’t care about the cause shouldnt take the job at all. People earning 8 figures shouldnt expect to make the same at a charity. Greed and altruism are values or qualities a person can possess and I dont think they can exist in the same person.

The United Health CEO thought he was altruistic, his family does as well. Its pretty clear the vast majority of people see greed there, not altruism.

Greedy people simply shouldnt be in charge of helping people.

You are assuming the highest paid ceos are the best choice for a charity as well. Running something with a goal of making as much money as possible is not the same as running something with a goal of helping with something as much as possible.

Its only the same if you think money accomplishes both, which is a valid take on things, I just dont agree with that myself.

If the only reason a ceo wants to work for a charity is the huge paycheck, they have the wrong set of values to run a charity.

Being a CEO of a charity is not about prestige. This is why a lot of american charities come across as grifts in my opinion.

You should ask why a person would accept that much money to do that kind of job, they could ask for an appropriate amount but instead take what they can get.

Plenty of non-american charities dont over pay people. You would expect people who work in charity to not be greedy. Greed is when you take more than you should because you think you deserve it.

Cool, so americans will do anything for money. Even in charities. Is that what you want to hang your hat on? Its awful behavior and the OP is right to highlight the hypocrisy of a charity CEO making over 10 times the cost of living.

A person leading a charity shouldnt have such an ego that they think they deserve so much more than anyone else. How could they possibly understand the concept of charity?

They are saying they are all greedy.

Well yeah you forced the game breaking part by refusing to accept what had happened. I simply wouldnt have done that, but I have been frustrated before and tried to force things so I get it.

Honestly if you hadn’t made a choice that somewhat led to that situation I’d be more likely to agree with you. Since its a game, no harm no foul, and again quirky things happening in RPGs is nearly always a good thing for me.

A giant in skyrim hitting me with a club and sending me a quarter mile into the air surely could be seen as a bug, but many think of that fondly instead. Thats the point I’m making. I’m sorry you had a rough time with that playthrough though.

Are you implying you would be teaching that man how to walk?

When you help someone on a computer, they come along with you too, just like the blind guy. And just like the blind guy, them coming along with you does not mean they will be able to do it themselves next time, or that they want to do it alone next time.

This sounds a lot like “only my perspective is correct” type stuff.

I think what you are describing is teaching not helping. Helping someone is just doing the thing they need help with and thats it. Its not a prerequisite that someone learn something if your goal is just to help them but it is if your goal is to teach them something.

It is nice when people share your interests and want to learn but everyone’s got their own stuff going on and sometimes can’t make room for something new like that.

Yes, we all agree its a bug. I’m specifically saying for me its quirky, and I actually like when strange things happen in rpg games. See how its become one of the playthroughs you remember most?

Same thing could happen to me and yet I’d remember it fondly as the weird playthrough where I threatened a child and was permanently hostile to any grove guards.

Game breaking means you can’t continue at all. It didnt derail your character because apparently your character is one to threaten children, and you could keep playing despite what happened.

Noones saying you are wrong, you just care too much. What is a funny quirk to some is a huge game breaking issue to you.

Okay so its a big deal for you, I get it. If it happened to me I’d continue my game though, its hardly game breaking. I get that it broke your feelings but the grove has very little to do with the rest of the game. I’d have long forgotten about it by act 2, and even if I did care so much you get 25 autosaves and quicksaves.

I’m not going to hold it against Larian for leaving this in, if its in the current build. They already have gone far above any expectations, and yet here you still are complaining that Larian is ridiculous to allow this bug.
