    1:13 I too often have conversations about history like this around the campfire:
    "What's wrong with the French?"
    "Some folk they are, despite their small size! I read that in ancient times they built a bunch of famous palaces and castles, that was before the Revolution that brought the monarchy down. That was under Louis XVI."
    I often don't leave the house these days...

    The world of King's Bounty II is very...odd:
    "Excuse me, sir? I'm a Paladin, and I'm looking to hire some Brigands to help save the planet from an evil force of corruption. Do you know where I can find any?"
    "Well young lady, first you'll need to do some quests for a Lich, and then he'll open a gate that will take you past the lab of a wizard who sells poison to the nobility. After that, go left past the three armies of bandits hiding right outside the capital, stop at the man who sells you bears, and then look for the big white stone of teleportation in the middle of a random village. There will be a nearby bridge, and that's where you'll find the guy who sell you robbers."
    "Thank you sir!"

    0:03 actually seems like a realistic reaction people in a fantasy world would have to that situation. He thinks about it and essentially says, “Sure, ghosts are real and I’ve communed with the dead, but never /in this particular fashion/, which I am not used to.”
    And I just really love that. It’s much better than the “A spooky McGuffin in a world where literal gods have dwelled among us? Impossible!” that fantasy and sci-fi pull so often.

      Yeah, it's particularly noticeable in episodic works.
      Often the monster of the week literally gets away with murder because the heroes refuse to accept that it might exist, despite fighting a monster of the week ... well, every week.
      It would be like if every CSI episode started with a mandatory quarter of an hour of the main characters just assuming that murders don't actually happen.

    Holy shit. You just reminded me that Erfworld exists. Or did exist. Also, yeah, I guess it is an isekai before isekai was really big.

    1:46 implying the political compass isnt simplified af
    like wow the moral system is a 2 dimensional graph instead of a 1 dimensional graph
    not saying that's bad or too simple in a game - i think it's good and prolly pretty in depth in the context of a game, i just hate the political compass bc it's applied to real life which is where you run into every single issue with it

      @GigiGiga tbh the one moral way is communism, except preferably with communism we let go of morals, at least in their current form
