Metagame class distinction. Completely arbitrary. No bearing on the actual logic of the setting.

Your talks of equality in weapon skills are literally ridiculous

Explain why. Form a cogent argument for once in your life.

How does being a fry cook in any way prevent him from also beng a fully-qualified physician?

What is your beef with people who work two jobs?

Ok I'm gonna take a break from spamming for a sec to address this stupidity.

Do you think someone who is fully qualified to be a surgeon is going to be flipping burgers?

And if you do, I advise you undergo a psychiatric examination.


Yeah realistically speaking that'd be the dumbest thing they could do.

Minimum wage sure in hell isn't going to even cover the interest from their college loans. Let alone the actual loans.

I see no reason to dismiss it as an impossibility, however unlikely.

Simply because I'm confused about what you are aguing about. Is it that warriors and rogues are the same? Because that's not true.

Within the context of the setting, yes. There is no indication that being a 'rogue' or being a 'warrior' are mutually exclusive things. The two have nothng to do with each other, and one could easily be both.

Wielding a two-handed sword has no relevance to being a pickpocket, and there's no logical reason why a person should be unable to develop both skills.

Is it because rogue isn't a fitting name for the class? Because that's not true.

No, that's not the argument. What the class is actually called is irrelevent. 'Rogue' is exactly as arbitrary a title as 'Thief' or 'Scoundrel' or anything else. They're all just names for a vague character archetype.


You mentioned the definition of Rogue earlier. It was along the lines of a liar. That's why the name makes sense. Lying is indirect. Liars are often called backstabbers. Liars are called snakes, which is similar to how rogues move through a battlefield, in a sneaky way, ready to pounce at any moment. Warriors charge into battle head-on. There's the difference.

The mechanics of combt are themselves arbitrary. A 'warrior' could be sneaky, but mechanics prevent them from being so. As could a mage.

The class label you select is metagame information, it doesn't effect your character's role in the setting in the least. 'Rogues' can join the army. 'Warriors' can be thieves and assassins, mages also.

We see this repeatedly in both games. In DA2 there are even 'rogue' Templars, even though, if we follow the logic you'd have me believe, they should be barred from the profession because... their combat style implies a lack of discipline? What?

It is a known fact of our universe that people occasionally work multiple jobs. Why don't you explain to me why this particular combination is impossible, and not just merely improbable.

Impossible no.

However whoever was doing it would probably starve to death.

Who goes to school for years on years (it's not even like it's just 4 years for a surgeon) and gets out and takes a minimum wage job? Why would you put yourself in such debt and do it? WHY. Not to mention HOW. How can they afford medschool and not have a job lined up when they come out?

Because a surgeon's skills make them invaluable in one field, medical, which would probably take up all their time in honing and expanding with continuous courses every few years to learn the latest medical techniques. Not wasting their time and talent working at a resturant flipping burgers.

It is a way to seperate the distinct classes. A mage uses magic. A warrior uses direct combat. A rogue uses stealth. They are not equal because they are different classes. If every class could do everything, there would be no point in having classes. It would be the Bioware version of Fallout. If you are arguing that the game shouldn't have classes, that would make sense. But to argue there shouldn't be any difference between classes. That doesn't make any sense from a GAME standpoint.


However, dual wielding warriors makes sense, so I approve.

How's that whole your digging?

There is nothing wrong with the warrior class getting an extra skill set

I'm assuming Plantiff meant someone who could put on an coat and go into the operating room and do a surgery if needed I.E. they finished school (or mostly finished it).

Flipping burgers in that scenario makes **** for sense.

It's not impossible no but it takes assbackwards logic. How did they manage to afford to go to school in the first place? You can't afford medschool on no damn minimum wage.

Well the scenario presented to me was someone who works in both roles, not someone who has physician training but doesn't use it.

But I can think of any number of hard-luck scenarios that would cause a medical professional (or any person in any career) to lose their job and be forced to resort to minimum wage.

Now your just making **** up. Also a carrer in the medical field is one of the most secure carrers in the world. Try again.

Severe depression, stress, anxiety, substance abuse, alcoholism, poor investment, family issues, an accident  that cost them their fine motor function skills, a series of malpractice lawsuits. A combination of any of these.

I could keep going.

My favorite teacher in high school had a master's degree, several years of experience in the aerospace industry, and choose to leave it to teach teenagers for very mediocre pay.

It's absolutely possible.

Why on earth would a medical professional be forced to go to minimum wage job flipping burgers. If you had something like a health aid then yeah I'd buy that.

But going from surgery to flipping burgers is where you lost me. If this person hadn't finished paying off their loans they're screwed. Completely and utterly. Why would anyone who goes to school for 16 years take a minimum wage job flipping burgers is utterly baffling.

It's one thing if it was a low wage job in their field (medical). But this is extremely unlikely for several reasons. (Not to mention plenty of companies won't hire said person mostly because A. unrelated skill set and B. They're most likely to be the type to not want to take the crappy barely liviable for one person if you want to have nothing special ever and woe betide you get sick wage they're offering).
