Bureaucracy is a nightmare. There’s national laws, local laws, technical laws, practical laws, petty laws, incompetent laws, minority laws, old laws nobody bothered to get rid of, potential laws for possible situations that might happen at some point in an imaginary future… and so on.

Basically, it depends on who writes the law and why. All laws are subjective to humans, by humans and against anything that annoys the specific humans in charge at any given point in time.

“Buy”? They are to lay down and give themselves to you freely, for it is done in service of their lord.

According to the reviews I just read, a general consensus is that the main characters are a bunch of assholes making their way through a shitty world. So the game isn’t likely to be a pleasant ride if you go in expecting something else.

Whatever message there is, it’s slightly open to interpretation, so if you do go in, try to keep an open mind and experience it objectively.
