I really like the game, I played it 3 times with almost all the DLC(as a male and female city elf,and a human mage). To me the game is a golden standard of an rpg, an unforgettable experience.

Now after a long pause I started a New playthrough with a dwarf Noble origin. I roleplay as a dwarf that wants politically fuck up Ferelden nobility as much as possible. And also I want to make the most evil choices towards NPC in side quests, BUT with mimimal killcount(or even try to do a pacifist run while still roleplaying as an amoral manipulator, that Just doesn't kill anyone personally).

In fights only my party members would deliver the killing blows. (I remember the hilarious conversation with the head of Antivan crows, where you can say that you aren't a killer.)

My Warden wants to leave Ferelden without a human ruler. Is it possible? IF I incarcerate Anora, and allow Alister to kill the Archdemon, the Kingdome Will technically Will be without a king.

Will the game register this choice and like at least mention it in Credits that Ferelden doesn't have an heir?

And by gross I mean morally repugnant. Because it implies that the suffering is infinite. Like countless universes with slavery and all the other horrendous stuff humanity and other potential sentient beings did throughout history. I find it hilarious that fictional works barely mention these ethical implications. At least in some fictional worlds the multiverse is finite, like 52 parallel worlds in some iterations of DC's. ("The Multiversity", "New 52")

Anyone interested in introducing Utopian/nearly utopian societies/worlds in your worldbuilding? What social/ political mechanisms allow inhabitants of such societies to behave "morally", not descend into moral nihilism/destructive hedonism? What is the ethical foundation of such groups in your worlds?

In pocket utopian dimension called Nepaaran ( the sci-fi setting I am currently inventing) the structure of society encourages "moral soundness" mainly due to 3 reasons: upbrining, relative equality and homogeneity of the people and scienific innovations. Every child in Nepaaran receives an injection of so called "ontological imprint of evil" after reaching puberty that basically allows a person to deeply understand empathy and actual mental and behaviorial reasons of the most horrendous and vile crimes, which according to scientists of the dimension would allow them to avoid pitfalls of evil.

Also the people of Nepaaran have access to advanced plastic and cosmetic surgery, basically shapeshifting( restricted by limitations of human anatomy). Which allows them to alter their appearance freely and thus put aside and make irrelevant at least some of their differencies.

Do you like to include dark twist of the concept of ideal society in fiction? Like in *Those Who walk away from Omelas"

My first 3 playtroughs of Kotor 1 were on Android. How your first playtrough( and the platform you played it on) affected your perception of the game? I think the existence of mobile port greatly increased my interest and enjoyment of the game. I remember when I first unlocked the opportunity to freely explore the planets at any order for the first time at dawn (6.00 AM ).

There something more appealing about playing the portable version of the game, I Just struggle to formulate what exactly.

On the other hand I played the second game on PC because the port didnt exist back than. And because my gaming session were stationary I kind of approached Kotor 2 plot differently. Did anyone experience something similar?

I Am beginning to suspect I might be aromantic. (23m).From puberty onward I was attracted to only one girl, and in my opinion only because of her looks and not confrontational personality. I almost never tried to date her, or attract her attention in any way,speaking with her in very limited, matter of fact manner. I recognized the conventional attractiveness of other woman of my age when I became an adult and in theory would be not against a brief relationship but I would probably feel nothing internally. When I was approached on 2 separate ocasions by a women Who wanted to meet and date with me and were showing signs of romantic attraction I ackwardly and in a slightly Surprised and enraged way declined(but still keeping my Composure and being polite). Looks wise I Am very average height, face, muscles,. The idea that someone might be interested in me romanticcaly slightly irritates me and confuses. My friends tell about "deep love" and "romance"all the time and I dont understand the appeal alltogether. I never felt much motivation to date or attract the fair sex. So I think in my case there May be two distinct possibilities. May be People in my vast circle of friends/acquaintances are Just shallow and mistake their hornyness For something more potent. Or I Am Just an aromantic. Or May be I just transfered or internalized my aloofness into the romantic/sexual relationships. I would appreciate if somebody Will help me to clarify whether I Am an aromantic or not. Or at least Come close to the right answer.
