Of the hundreds of games I've seen here, only this one seems to have an Exe installation. I don't understand why such a preference was made. Having the game files openly in Zip or RAR without setup helps to make a safer installation when scanning for viruses.

If I had to guess, I'd say it's part of the anti-cheat measures. Every time I've tried to use the RPGMaker cheat engine it just deletes the game while trying to open it, creating a backup version of the game with all the same saves. Never had another game do that, never had another game have an exe installation

It used to be a lot more common, to the point that you basically never them in any other form. Many people didn't realise you could rename it from a .exe to a .zip/.rar instead and extract with whatever archiving software you had installed.

Nope.
Games from older versions of RPGMaker (such as the one for this game, RPGMakerVX Ace) typically were distributed in a self-extracting archive, and often two different versions of the same game could be found - RTP version and non-RTP version.
The RTP version meant you didn't have to download and install the necessary free runtime files from RPGMaker's website for the specific iteration of RPGMaker that a game was made in.

That has nothing to do with the download being a self-extracting archive.
In fact, I've never heard of using Cheat Engine with any game resulting in the game being deleted and a backup made, and that's over a period of roughly a decade.

It's not Cheat Engine, it's MVMZ Cheat. Hearing that the game was made in an older version of RPGMaker makes sense, that's probably the more likely explanation for why it does that.

Well yeah, MZ is the newest version with MV being the one just before it.
VX came out around 15 years ago, and VX Ace was 2012 iirc. I think the earliest iteration I've played a game for was RPGMaker XP.

Circling back to this game (kinda) I'm glad SL didn't do what some other devs did and jump from VX Ace to MV during development.
That was practically starting from scratch all over again for those who did, including lots of bugfixes. More than if they'd stayed on VX Ace.

Doesn't changing the extension corrupt the file? It's not something I've tried much, so I don't know.

No, it basically only changes what it gets opened by.

The only exceptions to that is when making batch files (.bat extension). You just make them out of a normal text file (.txt) and change the extension to .bat so that it can be run as a basic program.
The other is if you change the extension of a non-executable system file that's part of a program's library of files... In simpler terms if you change the extension of a picture file in a game/VN's image library, that picture won't display. It's not corrupted, just doesn't have the name and extenstion that the software is looking for.

Is there any way to improve the resolution quality? Everything looks very blurry. The quality is very low compared to other RPGM games I've played.

Try IntegerScaler or Magpie.

Windows' default scaling is just not suitable for games with retro style visuals like what comes out of RPGMaker. The larger the resolution gap; the worse the result.

Why can't I discuss anything about the vote with the Dwarren representative?

As a result, I got a 5-2-2 outcome in the Unpeople Vote. It seems like it passed,is this a good result?

That vote passing is fine not the optimal route and can’t have followed the walkthrough right if that happened. Does mean can’t fully follow the walkthrough in the future due to some changes in future results because of it.

best Guess on why. Either you did not buy the embassy or you did but did not talk to them the day before after doing Vhala stuff(which is when you can influence their vote if you have embassy )
