So I was going to the island of Kazuwari to do the DLC of Seeker, Slayer, Survivor.

When I was about to reach the island, Galawain appeared demanding that I leave. I told him the islanders need my help, and he told me something like he has his arrangement for the island and I should not intervene.

In real life, I'm a religious person and try to respect divine causes whenever I can. Therefore, out of that nature of mine, I chose to listen to Galawain and left.

On one hand, I'm gratified to my choice because I lived up to my value; on the other hand, I think it's regrettable that I lost an entire DLC.

It's likely that the developers themselves aren't religious, so they didn't take religious players into account when they were writing the story of this DLC.

I bought the Obsidian Edition of the game, which includes this DLC, at a huge discount two years ago. I don't think I can ask for a partial refund of this DLC now.

Anyway, I humbly encourage the developers to take this feedback of mine into account when creating new games in the future. If you really want to write a similar story again, communicate such a story to customers in the store page to avoid any potential dispute.

For example, assuming you want to warn customers that the DLC involves a religiously controversial story, the store page could say something like:

A turmoil occurred in the island of Kuzuwari and the islanders are seeking your aid. Will you follow Galawain's order and leave the island alone? Or will you defy a God's will and intervene? (this DLC is for players who would choose the latter) ......

You can't be serious.

What if there's a player who's deferential to authority "in real life" and plays a detective game. In that game some authority figure - who the player (and the character) knows is evil and corrupt - tells that player to not investigate further: should that player then stop playing the game? And more importantly: should that player even think about getting a refund because the devs didn't take servile players into account when designing the game?

I don't really want an answer for those questions.

In my opinion, the detective example is different from the situation of mine. So let's not worry about that.

Ultimately, my feedback is... a feedback. It's not mandatory nor compulsory, though it would definitely be heartening if the developers take heed of it.
