View Full Version : Are we really "Heroes"?

Does anyone else ever think about this?

I'm not saying the heroes are evil, we've done some pretty good things. But we really have to question some of the other things we do and the people we've worked for.

----------------------------------------------------
Exhibit A: Easter event and attacking an innocent rabbit

So let me get this straight, we trespass onto some guys property, wreck his machines, steal their contents and this is apparently for the greater good? He doesn't even try to kill us, theres people out there with less self control who would merk a home invader and you want me to believe the rabbit is the bad guy? Suuuuuuure.

----------------------------------------------------
Exhibit B: Winterbrood killing a baby dragon

Let me put this in perspective. You decide to build your village right next to an active volcano and get mad when the volcano does volcano things. Thats what the people of frozen hope did except it was next to a living nuclear weapon. To make matters worse you kill a baby dragon when you know damn well you can tame dragons in this world. And somehow you expect the mother to not hold some grudge against your people? Lol deserved. The only crappy person here is Tarlok (the wizard using mind control on the dragons). But later on the blame seems to shift to the dragons.

----------------------------------------------------
Exhibit C: Festerfang swamp

Self explanatory, going against environmental conversation.

----------------------------------------------------
Exhibit D: Tindrin
You're literally helping colonizers lmao don't even try to argue against this one "Mr. Conquistador"

----------------------------------------------------
Exhibit E: The gnomes & Jardis

Jardis saw his people becoming complacent and realized this would lead to the decline of the gnomes. All he really wanted was to ensure their future survival. Barlow knew Jardis and his ideals would be a threat to his power, after all Jardis was charismatic, ambitious, and a better engineer. So what do they do? They call him a radical, and banish him. And we know a lot of gnomes felt the same way about their races future, so much so that they left alongside Jardis. So who would be the best person to stop this charismatic leader? This leader that could not only get other gnomes on his side, but also get the orcs (gnomes mortal enemies) to work with him? Thats right, someone from the outside who doesn't understand the politics going on, you.

----------------------------------------------------
Exhibit F: The Vyromir Royal family

I hated these people even before I knew they existed. I save 3 of your districts from an all out goblin/demon invasion but not a single thank you? The prince has such a big heart though, right? He has time to give gifts to orcs but not personally thank the savior of his future kingdom? Lol these people are snakes and aren't all what they seem. Let me tell you why.

Remember during the event, in the event zone theres a bunch of eggs. At first I thought these were eggs for their future pets. But then it hit me, why 4? The king and queen should be old enough to have their own pets, even weirder the Kings titles are literally "Master of the Arcane" and "First student of Animancy." Something didn't add up.... Then you realize the only pet obtained from this event is a baby orc. And we know that orcs can come from eggs, confirmed both by Elberts existence and the lady that works at A.R.S.E.S. (OGs remember)

Do you see where I'm going with this? Abethon was giving gifts to the orcs, sure.... but not for free. He was taking orc eggs in exchange. Vorl a revolutionary, an orcs orc, a being of righteous values couldn't stand for this and rallied up his people to reclaim their eggs. Its why they didn't outright kill Abethon and instead put him under a curse. In exchange for the orc eggs, they'd remove the curse, but it seems the royals, being the greedy snakes they are. Were willing to let Abethon suffer than give up the eggs, hence the attack. What they planned on using these eggs for, I'm not entirely sure but given the kings titles it was probably something along the lines of using orc babies for eternal youth.

Like be for real, you want me to believe this woman isn't evil??

----------------------------------------------------
Exhibit G: Sheriff Qian and Goblins

Every year this town of idiots gets hit with the same trick. EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR. And you know what? I bet the sheriff is in on it. He gets a goblin to help him out. Then uses you to backstab the goblin and finally keeps all the envelopes for him self as a ""Token vendor""

----------------------------------------------------
Exhibit H: Hugthulu

He needed therapy and a hug, not beatings.

Theres probably more examples out there. Like how we've been helping Magnus Maede cheat on his wife.

Anyway looking forward to seeing how sts handles some of the questlines and lore in future events/expansions and expands on them beyond what we currently know.

Sent from my JKM-LX1 using TapatalkTrue I definitely like to think we're more in the middle. Were a mix of the true good heroes being the OG heroes (Uller and friends) and our bad side being the marvelous heroes (working and helping others solely out of greed)
At the end of the day, we are all just a human beans...Sorcerer erasure
No we are not because we aren't about saving princessesKarin will always be a princess in my heart [emoji24] (true though)

Sent from my GM1913 using TapatalkLol thanks, I'm just a guy with not much to do so I pay attention to some of the lore bits when I can

So we're as bad as The Jarl, or maybe worse. LolOh definitely [emoji23] at worst Jarl is a professional sell-out. Sold out the people of brakenridge and sold out his own family of criminal contractors (whom we've worked for btw). I can at least coin his behavior to upbringing.

You don't need to watch the cutscenes to realize that. Just look at the poor bunny and his eggs we steal from him every year.

You're new to the game. You will be a hero someday.

you do a lot of evil, you conquer many natives, destroy environments and "monsters", and when you're the last one standing, you get to write history from your point of view. Of course we will be the Hero in the story!

Been thinking the same as OP for years. The baby dragon hatching from it's egg in tindirin is cruel, not to mention the poor old goblin mother beaten to death in front of her Son in Deep Marsh.
We're not heroes, we're just berserkers and I really can't stand Karin. She's annoying, Dorte has a point at least, let's face it, she is being tortured to death by tickling.
Then there's all that beautiful marine life in the Zodias map and what do we do??? Annihilate it. Now that's not eco-friendly.
I mainly just hang out with Bjorn in Kraag, now he talks sense.
Totally agree with the OP, we're certainly not heroes.

Perhaps we're just "arlor's heroes", whoever's a human i mean.... :v

Not that I'm that interested in the lore or story, just stating my opinion based on what i read

Of course we're heroes in our own way. Those of us who carried on playing for 10 years especially.
P.S. just I just read the 2023 letter to the community, it makes interesting reading. 🙂
