(Please note: this is NOT a thread about how you shouldn't have to self-restrict because the game should blah blah whatever. Please save those comments for elsewhere.)
Seriously.
To be fair, in a thread discussing self-restrictions, the person's feelings toward and motivation behind those restrictions or why not using them, is kinda needed for a deeper discussion.
For example, Niara could have stopped after "Unless I'm doing a specific test or an experiment to gather data, I generally don't 'restrict' myself at all when I play".
How much information do you, we and in particular, Larian get from that sentence? Pretty much nothing.
