« باز هم تكرار كنيم كه آدمي در برابر درد واكنش نشان نمي دهد؛ ناخوشي ”علت“ كنش نيست.
درد خود يك واكنش است، عمل انعكاسي يك واكنش ديگر و زودتر است- اين هر دو از مكانهاي مختلف سر چشمه ميگيرند.»!

Avicenna in a Video Game: Kingdom Come Deliverance
One of my favourite games of all time is the Kingdom Come Deliverance (2018). This historical game is strongly aimed to create a realistic simulation of 15th century life in Bohemia. I strongly believe a needle in a haystack quest is a masterpiece and possibly the best RPG quest I've ever played.
Many miners old and young,
With home in heart and coal in lung,
Were taken by the trolley men,
Up to the mine and back again,
… (A poem by an NPC in the game)
As a guilty pleasure, I took few RPGs very seriously due to their interesting, and immersive story. In other words, I only played them for their stories and plots; as a replacement for a book or to be more precise, a novel.
