Instead of giving him actual advice (she too dumb to do that I know), she give him the main reason for mental breakdown and guilt -religion.

Very nice erin. You are SO BRIGHT.
I just *can’t wait* for you to be uploaded and congratulated again for nothing you did.

I despise everything about erin. Really everything.

Pawn didn’t know why he went to The Wandering Inn. It was just where his feet carried him. The Antinium had no idea what to do or where do go; he just knew that he might find the answers he sought if he could listen to a certain young woman for a while

Video games might give levels, but I doubt Minecraft would give Architecture: the first time you removed a block and had something floating in the air with any support, the system would probably go “Nope!” I would imagine most crafting systems in games wouldn’t be anywhere close to detailed or correct enough to actually teach much real crafting. Similarly, combat games wouldn’t really teach any actual combat skills: that’s something you really need to learn with your physical body.

RTS and 4x games and the like I could see being similar to chess, since they do often simulate real strategy. Management games like Factorio would perhaps be quite beneficial for some classes.

The reason chess gives levels for tactician is because the game does, technically, teach tactical thinking. Especially for someone learning to maneuver armies, it can simulate things like flanking attacks, traps, forcing the enemy to move.in certain ways, etc.

That being said, it should realistically not be giving that many levels. And I would hope that someone like Niers would have already learned everything the game could teach about real-world tactics way before he hit his current level; some at level 60+ shouldn’t be getting any kind of actual experience from the game, especially someone who was already good enough to be a famous teacher for future tacticians/strategists.

Lyonette is the 6th princess not third

Any gobling can become the gobling king if he believes it?

Klbkch has baggage, and judges all his own kind by the impossible standards of the hagiograph he demands they be. Also, Erin has only begun drawing him out of his (figurative) shell; before her he was polite, even cordial, with Relc and other above-ground Liscorians, but both his audible and internal statements reflect a clinical (or cynical) calculation easily mistaken for sociopathy. What is jarring is not to see the mask slip, but realize that it — and what it previously concealed — HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE.

When we first meet Klbkch, the bulk of his behavior is geared first and foremost for protecting and promoting his Hive, chiefly by cultivating Liscors citizenry as assets. The Free Queen herself is often quite gracious with Hive resources, in part because they are far greater than anyone else suspects, but also because Klbkch persuaded her to adopt a policy of cooperation rather than confrontation. Erin was the one who showed him the value of personal bonds in and of themselves, even/especially across species. This despite personal bonds with particular individuals being much of his baggage, perhaps part of why he is so insensitive to them before meeting Erin.
