Germany: I think overall, compared to the rest of the world, it’s fine. As a German citizen you are well protected from most of the bullshit life can throw your way: We have strong legal systems, “free” healthcare and are relatively safe from the effects of climate change and military aggression.

But it’s also very frustrating because it could be so much better. Were the 3rd richest country in the world and yet our infrastructure is barely holding on. Bridges are collapsing and roads have giant potholes. Our train system is expensive and unreliable.

Our politicians are actively working against the interest of the german people and funnel money into companies instead. Corruption and malice against migrants is everywhere. Active climate change denial is also apparently acceptable. If you aren’t a retired homeowner who loves their car you aren’t relevant to the political conversation.

Yes your doctor is “free”, but you barely get a sentence in before youre send home with some generic advice or stopgap medicine and good luck getting to see a specialist. I pay over 400€ a month in taxes for this, I should be able to at least get more than a couple of minutes when I have some issues. Also teeth are luxury bones which are barely covered and glasses aren’t medically necessary either so have fun paying for those.

You probably won’t be able to afford a house ever and you need to save money for retirement. For context: I’m in my early 30s, got a masters degree, working on a phd and get paid enough that I’m in the highest tax group. My father could support my mother and 3 children with that income while still living comfortably. I pay like half my net salary in rent for a 2 room apartment, and retirement savings and don’t want to even think about paying for childcare.

I’m pissed this is the best my country is capable off. Not to mention literal fucking nazis are on the rise again and are probably going to start winning elections soon.

Well, from a theoretical standpoint your employer “buys” both your work time AND the non work time in which you are supposed to rest and recover so you can work again the next day. But because we live in a hypercapitalist hellscape non work time is seen as lazyness and not as a requirement for productivity.

Yeah, us being hardstuck in the 1980s is apparently still being better than other countries returning to the 1930s…

Im not an economist, but that would probably just lead to massive global inflation which would probably either lead to trade wars or actual wars until some semblance of the status quo would be restored.

Sadly capitalism will always lead to exploitation.

“Lappen” is also used as a fun but not overly offensive insult. Mainly for guys who act tough but really aren’t.

Probably already illegally detained and shipped off to a torture prison in one of americas vassal states

Where’s the inevitable desk reject after months of work?

Du schaffst das! Ich glaub’ an dich :)

Its a fun game mechanically, and it’s definitely worth at least one play through to experience the physical combat with climbing and hacking off specific monster parts and the magic system with true screenwide spells that take forever to cast but also destroy anything.

Though I personally would recommend looking up how damage scaling works to spare yourself some frustration and apply the usual mods for carrying capacity and unlimited out of combat sprinting.
