Anyone else underwhelmed by the new tadpole mechanic? I mean, I liked the temptation of being given unique or powerful options during the adventure so that good or neutral characters would be tempted to use the tadpole despite the risks.

But instead the option is now to cram your head full of worms?!? I feel like that takes so much away. Only the most depraved characters would take that route. Sure that makes sense on a Dark Urge kind of play through but it leaves things kind of underwhelming for any halfway sane character.

What is with this guy and his hardon for adding “X” to everything? He’s like a teenager that thinks that adding flame decals to anything makes them “cooler”.

Personally attacked… TWO TIMES!

I disagree that it is “good” overall. Conservative policies have always stood in the way of any movement to treat all people equally because the status quo benefits a sections of the population. Slavery. Racism. Sexism. Etc. None of these needed to be “conserved” and we would be a better society if we had been able to address them sooner. Also, conservative power structures when threatened by progress default to authoritarian in brutal fashion. The Holocaust. The Civil War. The Inquisition. Etc. And this is just in the West.

The modern Republican is not an aberration. It is the final form of Conservatism.

I have seen no proof that the consequences of rampant Progressivism are in any way equal to the horrors of rampant Conservatism. The idea that we need to validate Conservativism to “balance out” Progressivism seems to me to be a dangerous myth that is paid for with the blood of oppressed people.

How many billionaires can we get into it?
