In-universe reason for lack of use for human slaves?

[King of Amazons]

What's the in-universe reason that captured humans can't do much? Since the Pal Spheres most likely mind control the creatures caught in it, it's also likely that limitations were deliberately placed in the Pal Spheres to disincentivise catching human slaves (such as by making them forget how to do most things like using weapons or turning their weapons into harmless plastic toys).

did any of you guys look at those "sanctuary's"? they do no look natural and more like an accident happened. i secretly think its some human experiment gone wrong and pals were a result. why else would special pals have ancient components on them?

I think the sanctuaries are much older; you can find these sorts of super-technological blocks all over the archipelago including one area that was very clearly a city once. Various items like the unlockable TV or the Ancient Parts material being a basic spark plug imply Palworld is set in the far future, and humans merely found the area with pals being some kind of supernatural thing (would explain why they all weight nothing and can interbreed no matter what combination).

I also came up with the idea of condensing humans to enhance the player.

Yes and if you looked at a lot of the posts I have talked about it in quite a number of threads on this discussion board before hand as will among other things.

The actual in-game lore:

Pals are mutated/part human that became more BECAUSE of the hybridization.
In old times it was some cult stuff, in new times science. Robinquill's entry holds a clue.

Not sure if this makes lovander's entry more or less creepy

The game specifically tells you that humans are not pals, so they lack the traits and skills that pals have. That said, it is kind of a shame. Would be cool if humans with weapons could actually use them, and the other human types performed appropriate tasks.

Then it makes more sense that the Pal Sphere's affect on Pals is raising their capabilies and Senses not just brainwashing. For example Pals that uses Tools only after being caught because Kativa not caught isn't using a hammer to defend itself from the player.

Fangirl raids, after all. So uh... furry raids on the base.

I kinda view it as pals going towards their bestial mutations and losing technology until the player gives them that guidance in just telling them what to do after the brainwashing that affects humans as well. Then again, an octopus is capable of watching another octopus open a jar and flawlessly repeat it, where as one that doesn't watch will take a while to figure it out.

I can imagine depresso's are just a bunch of office workers / salary man before they were converted.

Actually the game tells the player that humans aren't pals because it is considered both inhumane to catch em and they can't access the moveset that Pals are capable of gaining.

They can still have Passives and as said skill wise with using their weapons to their full potential and base capabilities have not been fully implemented yet with the game being Early Access. I will retract my statement when the game comes fully out showing otherwise but taking say so from everyone else is just giving the Devs a cheap way out especially when not all the systems for the game hasn't been implemented completely or at all yet.

The game may say that as well, but I specifically remember getting the "npc's are not pals" message.

Yes the player isn't supposed to be running around with em and using em directly like they do with Pals in their party system but in other areas not yet fully implemented. You don't need to arm humans unlike certain Pals, you can't ride humans like you can pals, or use em like a live weapon that can be aimed at enemies like certain Pals. Another way considering the dark humor the game is taking "NPC's are not pals" can be saying they are not your friends or it can be a placeholder statement for the Devs to come back to at a later date.

LOL... okay we're going the route of copium of some cheap shade thrown at the devs. XD

Devs: RobinQuill, A pal that is very similar to humans who hunt and live in the forests. It may prove to be a key for understanding what Pals are and how they diverged from humans so long ago.

Pals are mutants, either from ancient cult means or created anew via science, with humans as a catalyst. This is confirmed by lore.

Pure humans are of course, as depicted in NEARLY ALL JAPANESE MEDIA, as considering themselves superior to suppressed beastfolk. So of course the leader of the PIDF would consider it a crime to capture a pure human, but also consider it a crime to go after the pals being sold on the black market in the "wildlife sanctuaries". Just like he enforces a crackdown on drugs... that he sells.

I was making a point in my part with the discussion since you quoted me so I explained myself but since that makes you uncomfortable having a discussion I will just block you so it won't be a waste on either of us again.

Who said I was taking shots at the Devs when they in fact stated it as it is Early Access and everything isn't fully implemented yet. All I said was people need to stop making excuses that gives the Devs (not referring to these Devs but others) from going all the way. The Creators of Pokemon for example have used this as part of the reason why they don't advance elements and mechanics in their games because the fanbase just accepts it and defends it. Another could be Volition with the Saints Row Series but they cross the threshold of what they did in the Reboot game.

If the stuff I have said is off or too harsh I am Autistic and a Disabled Vet. Not everything I say is a dig or mean spirited.

Not so much uncomfortable as confused. Still no idea what that point is, but ok.
