was doing what I like.
how right he was ...

It got me thinking that the entire process of getting settled here closely resembles a Role Playing Game, be it Zelda, Final Fantasy, Oblivion, and countless others. There's an overarching story that you'll be following, but for the most part you're placed in a strange land with little knowledge of what to do. Your experience points are low when you first start out, and the only way to improve your standing -- and get closer to achieving your goal of saving a princess or the entire world -- is to complete a myriad of seemingly random quests.You'll wander around aimlessly until you get a lay of the land, and then you'll want to start getting things done. When you're ready to buy that shiny new sword you visit the shopkeeper but he won't give it up until you travel to the snowy mountains on the other side of the continent, kill 20 trolls, and return with their gemmed chalice. When you finally return to the shopkeeper he notices that one of the rubies is missing from the chalice, and again, won't sell you your sword until you commandeer a boat to take you to an island where you need slay a giant goblin, grab the ruby, and head all the way back to town. By the time you get your sword it's been three straight nights of playing and you can't even remember why you were even playing this ridiculous game in the first place.Rinse and repeat, and you have a pretty good idea of what it's like to set up camp in a new country. It's an endless stream of running back and forth, not having just the right things, forgetting the exact thing you needed, not understanding, and not being understood. You've paid your hard earned cash for this game and dammit you're going to get your money's worth no matter how convoluted the storyline is.Now if I can only find that one cave where the +3 Repel Bureaucracy amulet is hidden.
