I’ve never been the kind of person to care about trigger words or anything like that, but I have a friend who won’t play this game because seeing the message “You have taken your own life” reminds them of actual suicidal impulses. Games like this are meant to be an escape from stuff like that.
I didn’t think much about it before, but wouldn’t it be easy to just change the message to “You have left the kingdom” or “You have given up your position in the court” or “You have gone into exile?” That makes more sense to me from a lore perspective too, ESPECIALLY with the changes in 1.1.
Let me explain: we now have seven classes in the game that can commit suicide (Butler, Merc, Scorned, Inquis, Knight, CL, MM). Why would an inquisitor or scorned kill himself after achieving their objective? It makes more sense for an inquisitor to just leave the court to find magic users elsewhere, not commit suicide. A butler or knight would probably renounce their position before committing suicide, too. Resurrect and Call of the Dead also got removed from the game, so changing suicide to leaving wouldn’t conflict with any abilities. It just seems like an easy change to make the game have a more party-appropriate atmosphere.
