This session started with me talking to a lawyer who was trying to scam a family out of their recently acquired inheritance. He told me that I needed to get a copy of the laws so that he could check if he was allowed to do that. I then went to a different building and filled a jar with ale. While thinking of ways to commit other sins I found people who were sleeping under a tree. I decided to join them and after 20 seconds I had committed the sin of sloth. I then found a chisel and lute while searching the area. I soon found the Chief Clerks office but before I could get the papers I needed I had to solve a riddle. After failing the riddle multiple times, I decided to see if the blacksmith could sharpen my chisel. Unfortunately, I didn't have any money but the blacksmith was willing to sharpen it if I did a sexy dance. Using my newly sharpened chisel I modified the statue in the town. I then went over to a river where some people were fishing and stole one of their fish. I then lied to a blind painter about paying him in order to get a portrait of my self for free. Using the portrait and my chisel I went back to the statue to make it look like me. After doing all this, I completed the sin of greed. This game is odd to me because my character doesn't get punished for any one the wrongs he does. Instead my character is encouraged to do misdeeds.

There’s a lot of good scenes to dive deeper into here for your OPA dependent on the ethical topic you want to tackle. In regards to your comment on it being odd that your character doesn’t get punished for the wrongs they do this could be an interesting observation to look into. Is the game trying to make a point by not having the player not punished and performing sins in this loophole? Is there satire in the game not punishing the player for doing these things and what does satirizing here mean in terms of ethics?
