My immersion was broken literally immediately when I woke up from the table with a weapon still strapped to my back. Uh, no. No prisoner should have a weapon before reaching Fort Joy. There is NO justification for this. Instead, the weapon should appear on the ground among the bodies after the attack begins.
Actually if you think about it, it makes sense and is immersive. Why should the Magisters fear for Prisoners on the ship, but not on the Island? I mean they only wear some scrap of cloth and trashy weapons, and even their source-magic is sealed! In the other Hand, if someone would attack like Monsters and such, it would be pretty hard to defend their own lifes as well of the prisoners, that's why it make sense for them to let the Prisoners carry on weapons, even on the Ship. Also it could be that some Prisoners are aggressive and attack other prisoners as well, than they should be able to defend themself. So again, i find it pretty accurate, and it would be less sense, if they take away their weapons on the ship, whlie they are allowed to carry them on the Island.
