It doesn’t give satisfaction as itself.

Not for you maybe. Because you refuse to see anything beyond “oh they just hate themselves, they’re abuse victims”.

Like most games. It’s a journey, there’s a story waiting to be told. All you have to do is ask the questions.

Some people enjoy the journey you take together with your character. And by the end, you realise that it wasn’t just your character that became stronger. It was you that became stronger. And the castle that’s in ruins is that way for a purpose. Something happened to it. And if you want to discover what that something is. You can.

But you seem like the person that can’t comprehend why someone wants to climb a mountain. Why not just take a helicopter to the top?
