          Don't think Thorfin is a pacifist. He spends half Baltic sea arc kicking people's asses and calling them slow and stupid. He's more a violence only when necessary and no kill rule type character. More Eastern martial arts philosophy than Western pacifism.

            But he is, spent an entire arc getting his ass beat and forced ptsd/pacifism.

            >He's more a violence only when necessary and no kill rule type character.

            Except that where he draws the line is comedically close to the chest. Also the series portrays it as a moral or good thing when in reality it isn't(which is the worst part about the writing).

            >More Eastern martial arts philosophy than Western pacifism.

            There is no "western pacifism", what you are imagining is a post modern global neo liberal phenomenon(meme). Christianity was never pacifist either(not even Jesus himself).

            When it comes to actual pacifism, that is basically your imagined idea of martial artist philosophy. But even that in reality is also a modern phenomenon and historically myth. Only specific sects of Buddhist monks that are prohibited from taking life(even animal) practice that. The rest is just ways for disarmed peasants to defend themselves. Or to supplement actual melee training in Warriors.

            So in conclusion, the only actual people who practiced this were some sects of Buddhist. And ironically they didn't do it for moral reasons either. But to escape samsara.

              That's interesting. Thorfinn's ideal is impossible and that's very much the point of the story. It's a very Christian theology inspired work. All men fall short of the glory of God because that's what we are. We are fallible and flawed like the broken world around us. To see a mere man try to challenge this is almost silly, because we know deep down inside we could never do it. Live without hate, anger, anxiety, ego, inferiority complex, never feel threatened or need to lash out? That's laughable right. No way you could live like that. Because you're just a man. The practical difficulties of being a better person and rising above your own nature and the human condition is something that mankind plain and simple isn't strong enough to do because we're just physically animals. When those feel bad chemicals flood your brain that's all you are. And to be more than that and especially expecting the other to be more than that is an untenable concept within the confines of our flawed being.

                Anyone could fricking do it if they were stupid enough, just look at plenty of people in the modern day. Although admittedly most practice it because they are betas with no fighting skills or muscle.

                >The practical difficulties of being a better person and rising above your own nature and the human condition is something that mankind plain and simple isn't strong enough to do

                There is absolutely no rational basis behind your ideals of trying to "overcome the human condition", nor is it inherently moral because actual morals are founded upon pragmatism and reason(Modern morals don't count because they are fake and part of propaganda to mentally domesticate people. Case in point, the poineers of all this fakeness were hippies and new age movement. Which declassified documents have revealed were all CIA pet projects.)

                Historically this has also been true, with few exceptions. Gnostics traditionally also did not prescribe directly morals to this world.

                Your entire ideations of spirituality or what is considered desirable(morally) are completely bankrupt and moronic. Un minfrick yourself from glowBlack person psyops. Your entire rant read like a reddit post.

It shows a deep tinge of insecurity in your life and that you feel you can't achieve or do anything without feeling threatened and having to lash out all the time. If you have to get all emotional and angry and pissy to do something then you're just not strong enough to do it and it frustrates you. Just be a man and do whatever you have to without being a beaten dog about it. The world isn't out to get you.

                Lol no, that's not how it works moron. The ones with the higher efficacy are valid. The source is irrelevant, even if you are correct in saying the source is the same. If your views actually had any tangible benefit then this could be said(but they don't and in fact can be detrimental. Which is why they are shilled in today's world by bad actors.)

                - Pacifism is a detriment to your survival
                - All original Gnostics sects died out or were defeated(save some small communities in the ME and isolated Buddhists)

                You have no rational basis for any of that to matter. It's all ultimately meaningless within the confines of your worldview. In the end every single thing you've just spewed ends the same way as every single thing the other anon spewed. In absolutely nothing. You can make no claim of efficacy or pragmatism when your way LITERALLY ends the exact same way and has the exact same result as any other. You can say whatever you want and rationalize all you want, all of that leads to the end result of cold dead dust drifting in a void of nothing. Whether you die right now or 50 years from now has no bearing whatsoever. By taking God out of it, any and all positions you could possibly hold or champion become ultimately useless. It all ends the same, with absolutely nothing at all. At least anon sounds happier than you'll ever be. I guess that has meaning for the time being. And stop typing as if you're ever gonna have to fight for your survival lmao. I'd bet both my nuts you live a very sheltered life and barely go outside for anything but school.

        Right, so role-playing it is. Meanwhile in reality, even the highest level martial artists will admit that protecting yourself from knife attacks bare handed is borderline impossible unless there is a massive skill gap. So when it comes to fighting against actual trained warriors with proper melee weapons; You would stand no chance bare handed.

                It's from a series where a hormonal teenager goes on a multi year fit of rage and kills a few thousand people all because he wanted revenge against some guy for killing his daddy then later he becomes an adult and realises he was being a little b***h baby and vows to never kill anyone again ala Batman. He goes through an arc of facing his sins and then spends the rest of the story up to where I've read beating people up with his fists when he has to amd trying to build a nation free of war and slavery. Honestly don't have a clue why these people are having a cow over it. It's a standard killing is le bad story.

                Either way, the entire thing was becoming forced dragged out even in the first season. At first I couldn't understand why and just waited to see what the author would do. But it became abundantly clear after the fact that it was all forced for thorfin to not get his revenge because "revenge bad". Also alongside the developments with Bjorn, the priest and cannute made it clear this was just the prelude to more of the same preachy garbage we would see in S2.

    Not only do I play pacifist on all games that I can, I go out of my way to save enemies that might get killed by environmental damage, even if they don't contribute to my kill count. I had to savescum the frick out of that bit where you had to protect Faridah Malik, because the enemies kept blowing themselves up.

      Generally Monks in CRPGs suck because Americans have no clue how to make them. They have become too obsessed with Avatar elementalist bullshit.

      In Japanese games, a Monk's special skill is just doing more visual effects and pretty sparks when they attack.

        >Avatar elementalist bullshit
        What CRPGs do this? Most of them either just have brawling/boxing or Monks who use a mix of traditional Jap and Chink martial arts and ki shit. BG3 is literally the only CRPG that uses elemental monks.

          D&D 5e stuff is definitely the biggest culprit. Monks were completely barebones before then. They really didn't do much. Never played the Pathfinder games, but I'm a bit into the TTRPG and it's disappointing how low-powered monks are compared to shit you read or see in wuxia (where lightness kung fu and qi-disruption is the norm, not what's advanced, and swords are as common as fists) and xianxia (where martial arts are essentially magic). And they don't give a shit about improving this because they're more hyped about making more elementalist classes. I just wish they read/watched more wuxia instead of Avatar and DBZ

          On the other hand, I'm currently playing Pillars of Eternity and I'm pleasantly surprised at how they do monks. They really shouldn't be called monks, they're a completely new concept, has nothing to do with real world martial arts and has a cool gimmick to it. It's so far removed from the usual tropes that it actually feels cool.

        The only silver lining to everything after the farming arc is that Thorfinn's pacifism is indeed a larp and NOT the same as Thors.
        Thors only had "no enemies" because he wanted to take care of his family in seclusion, bending over backwards to appease any threats, only fighting as a last resort (which does him in because he refuses to kill the threat).
        Thorfinn's "no enemies" is an ideal borne from trauma where he can force everyone to get along as long as there's a strong enough person there (himself) to arbitrate.
        His self-admitted naïve, implausible views are constantly being challenged and proven wrong at every step. The only thing that allows him to carry on is his special lifetime of super warrior murder skills, overpowering everything flying in the face of his ideal. No one else has the luxury of "no enemies" - they may choose to not have enemies, but they will have predators.

        If the recent arcs' buildup is moving towards a historically accurate (to the real Thorfinn Karlsefni) finale for the sake of a massive rug-pull, then Thorfinn's settlement will go to shit, most of them will die, and Thorfinn will return to Greenland in failure. It would vindicate everything, but there's no telling if that's how the manga will go.

        https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2022%3A36&version=KJV

        "Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one."
        -Luke 22:36

        Hmm, almost as if you can cherry pick anything in the Bible without context to make a point.

        Neither of those statements are cherrypicked. Not yours, and not the one in

        He who has a sword, and knows how to use it, but keeps it sheathed shall inherit the earth

        "The meek shall inherit the earth" is explicit - the exact use of meek is to describe one who is patient and understanding, but willing to fight if necessary.
        Both that, and Jesus's statement to arm oneself for the sake of necessity over luxury, both play into the commandment.

        "Shall Not Kill" as it is often read is not an absolute. The original commandment is explicit in the use of "You shall not MURDER."
        Just like the rest of the Commandments, they are guidelines to avoid indulgence, covetousness and debauchery. That old book regularly espouses the virtue of fighting for justice and acting in self-defense.

          even if the author vindicates it ( he wont )
          it does not change the fact that the troon is real, the deus ex machina crossbow girl is real and her reaction to thorfin is real, that the homosexual prince has borderline magical powers in the world of realistic might, and that thorfins reaction to askelads death is not real. It does not make any sense, and what happens on the farm arc is actually not nearly enough introspection for thorfin to change

        If he kept fighting his son and everyone else were 100% dead. By striking a deal that he would willingly let them complete their contract if they killed him and only him he saved everyone that was with him. If he didn't they were all dead anyway. Funny thing is Askeladd even asked him to become their new leader. Initially you'd think he was just mocking him but later you learn Askeladd was looking for a great leader to put on the throne and he legitimately saw that in Thors.

          But he didn’t, he just perpetuated the cycle by getting killed in front of Thorfinn. If he was smart he would have told the others to take Thorfinn and go back home with a message for his wife before going with Askeladd and letting him kill him away from them all.

                Yeah and they do what he says and Bjorn is his most loyal warrior that would do something like that. And it’s not a swap. He just taking the back home to guarantee Thors doesn’t do anything and then when he’s dead they pick up Bjorn. I mean who is going to frick with them back in the village? Ylva? In the end all Thors did was leave Thorfinn with two fricked up lessons. The first was the revenge shit and the second was about having no enemies. Also if you’re 32 why do you use zoomie slang?

                I don't know brother it doesn't make sense for them to be that accommodating. And I doubt Askeladd at that point point gave a shit about killing a father in front of his kid. He's done that weekly for years. He already just barely listened to Thors' request as is. Don't see why he'd go the extra mile when he already got him dead to rights. And you know they'd just raid and pillage the village if they ever got near it. Blame Thorfinn. That dumbass kid got on the ship when his dad told him to stay home. I like to stay in touch with my young side and have lots of young friends and family who I spend time with.
