Games, as any other art, are a privilege of the moral person, not an act of expression.

So, if you want to make a videogame, your first though should always be: Is this game up to the standards of the current moral values of the present society?

If the answer is no, you should learn to be more attuned with the correct side of the Overton Window values. Speak to the movement leaders, and if they give you their approval, you then can try to make the game again.

Once the creative process is going on, always ask yourself this question before taking any design choice: Is this decision up to the moral standards of my chosen value system?
If the answer is no, return to the previous stated solution.

Fallout 1-2 have shit combat and broken skills. The game would never even make top 10 if it was created during 2010's.

Morrowind is not a popamole.

Moral alignment system is dumb and childish.

Peasants didn't get married at all. Marriage was always associated with property and peasants didn't have property, they were property, so there was no point marrying them.

Also, most certainly nobles raped peasants all the time.

I'm not an historian but from what I've read, marriage existed already during antiquity and probably as far as villages and organized communities go.

Peasants got married as well but during the early middle-age, there were no marriage ceremonies, even for nobles whom just exchanged rings, there is probably some differences depending on countries, period and social status (royal weddings maybe).

In some countries, for peasants, living together was enough to validate the marriage.

You see folks: if Sawyer had made a historically accurate autist RPG, the average Codexian would have creamed their pants. What kind of RPG fag are you? Clearly the whole Codex is all about detailed accuracy.

Pathfinder games (or any other computer RPG based on tabletop rules) shouldn't have granular difficulty options. There should be only one default level of difficulty, which is core rules. That way, noobs wouldn't bitch about bloated enemy stats because they picked the difficulty not suited to their knowledge and got filtered, and hardcore players wouldn't have to take pickpocket background and dip into monk on every fucking character, thus enabling diverse builds and better role playing. And it would also allow for better encounter design.

The emphasis on writing and "reactivity" in evaluating rpgs has lead to mediocre games being highly overrated.

It worked for Fallout and PST.
So this has nothing to do with that.

Woke illiterate (pleonasm) wannabe writers and YYY companies hiring them are the cause.
This and wanting to focus on low quality narration, writing and fake reactivity at the expense of the actual gameplay.

Rings of Power is really good and if you do not like it you are racist and probably problematic.
