For instance, the Civ games are basically Whig History: The Game, presenting liberal capitalism as the ideal end point for all societies. It even includes uncivilized "barbarian tribes" whose sole purpose is to be exterminated so you can take their land for the glory of capitalism.

that game is much more about prejudice and preconceived notions than anything thematically, it just has a fantasy aesthetic
Path of Radiance is literally about restoring a monarchy, Ike is a class traitor if anything

and I find the whole notion that Path of Radiance or Radiant Dawn challenges "preconceived notions" hilarious because the good characters are still all beautiful and kind and majestic while the bad guys are ugly inbred troglodytes. You can literally tell who's good or bad in half a second just by observing if their face has a visible deformity.

It's literally a feudalist society how is Ike a class traitor? what is he to do?
In the second game he literally sides with the opressed Laguz.
He is restoring a monarchy and independecne back to a tiny nation that has been taken over by another larger more powerful empire in the first game.
is he suppose to materialize the conditions for a bourgeoise or prolitarian revolution out of thin air??
this shit is stupid.

I'll be sure when I make a TRPG to only set it in the midst of a communist revolution from now on.
