The Pathfinder game i play can be brutal. The party has learned to just nope the fuck out if something looks sketchy. The dm told us at the beginning that the world was "real" and we're just thrown in it, so nothing is level adjusted.

Cocaine Bear 2: cocaine shark!

I think i get what you're saying but isn't empathy a basic human emotion. Obviously stronger in some people then others but it's not something that can be just switched off. I suppose i could willfully ignor what's going on. Which in someways i guess i am doing...

I think that you might be ignoring "spiritual" self interest. It deeply upsets and enrages me (and every other reasonable person) to see people brutalized like in Gaza. My mental health would literally be better if such atrocities weren't happening.

Do as you will as long as you harm none.

In first edition there was a huge insanity table, i think he just got an unlucky roll.

Had a Warhammer game where a pc died from getting hit with a board in a bar fight. Another lost their arm to one of the first traps we encountered. Our elf ended up with an insanity that gave him a burning hatred of elves. I love that system.

HOMM3 is one of the best games of all time. I've installed it on every computer I've had in the last 25 years.

It's been a while since I've looked into it but you can hitch a ride on a cargo ship. https://www.cargoshipvoyages.com/

Although that site says no one is offering Transatlantic travel anymore.

Plundering in the early-mid 00' was dicey but in the last ten years I think the only problem I've had was getting a tarbomb once and even that could have an honest mistake on the part of noob coder. I am a little wary of games that have online hacks and normally block all online features. Honestly you have to be more careful with torrent client than anything. Most of them try to back door a ton of garbage when you first install them. And yeah always use a vpn or you'll get angry messages from your isp.

I was drunk and playing with a knife, my friend started tossing things for me to slash out of the air. When people see the scar I tell them I got stabbed, which is technically true!

The Pathfinder game I'm in definitely has some of the grim dark from Warhammer. All of the PCs have at least major insanity now, most of the NPCs have a blown fuse or two also. My first character had a mental break down so bad I had to start a new character. Had to leave a party NPC behind because his PTSD was so bad he couldn't function. It's been fun times.
