The money=morality messaging was pretty off-putting.
Yeah off-putting, but I feel like it made sense: when you are King/Queen you can do selfless things for little personal gain, or you can do selfish things for great monetary gain.
Or you can buy up a bunch of real estate, get filthy rich off of rents, and finance the morally good decisions out of your own pocket, trivially breaking the core conflict of the end of the game. Seriously, I did this by accident. I just figured it would be a good idea to hoard a shitload of gold just in case, and it turned out that I was right.
Yeah, I think it maybe have been a bit of capitalist realism leaking to it. Kind of a piece of Cyber Punk 2077 problem for me. Like they have just a little hints or theming of corrupt landlords and corporations, but no meaningful resistance or alternatives to the system.
What was the message? Excessive taxation increases suffering. Try to find a balance or don't. Seems like a typical medieval setup.
