Yikes! That already sounds like a significant disadvantage. Sounds a lot like "We aren't going to sell your personal information but we can't promise our buddy here won't."

Thanks, anyway.
That if i want to get stronger.
I just have to whack a whole bunch of vermin.
Preferably in a cellar or sewer.
From the Thief series I learned that if you are burglarizing a house & make a noise that alerts the guards you can just hide for a few minutes and they will go back to what they were doing and pretend it never happened.

Very useful!

I also learned (from many games) that sometimes its best to just walk away and calm down before continuing to deal with a problem that is frustrating you.
From the Commandos games I learned how to say "alarm" in German.
That you'll fail, however not giving up after your first, second or third, will lead you to success. - A Hat in Time
(The annoying time rift)
I learn to keep trying until I succeed!!! No matter how difficult something seems or how tired you are, soon or later you will archive it and will be very rewarding!!!
Managing resources. 4X games and software development have more in common than you think :D
I’ve learned to plan and monitor progress, thanks to RPGs, main and side quests like The Witcher 3!
I've learnt that eating slices of pizza or hamburgers you find lying on the ground can heal your wounds. For real :P
Being ''taken'' does not mean you are ''possessed'' by anyone. #GrimDawn ;)
