Party members get pissy and can leave if you don’t do certain quests within a “reasonable” amount of time.

I’ve stalled out on BG:EE twice now.  The game’s difficulty paired with how much it obscures things and adds a “time limit” with party members getting pissy just made it too overwhelming.  Does this change/fix anything?

You learn sword techniques in really weird ways in that game (some from books, some from food, etc).  Musashi always has two swords, so you can ignore that more or less as just flair.  The joke here is that he bit the head off a fish and “learned” a sword art where he is headless.

The Q series seems to take place outside of the official timeline. Which makes sense because

Are we ready to admit that capitalism is a failed experiment that incentivizes people to commit fraud in order to maximize their resources yet?

The story would be so different.

STAT | 25% - Amount of game developers who complained about crunch, overtime, or poor working conditions in the GamesIndustry.biz Careers Survey this year. That’s down from 73% last year.

That’s one possible solution, for sure. The other is that you need a combination of democratic and capitalist structures in place to help prop it up. This is why many “socialist” countries in the EU aren’t pure communism, but rather are capitalist economies with socialist programs to keep everything balanced.
