@Championfighter25 , Thanok as a hero went from "no - never" to "unplayable hero". May be just I have to little more persistent brother

Persistence is the road to oblivion. Gardon´s favourite path.

He is a villain. And a good guy. It all depends on how you view things.

 

[Championfighter25]

He is a villain. And a good guy. It all depends on how you view things.

A guy with good intensions and no morals on how he accomplishes his goals. Neither good or evil. Pretty accurate statement.

Let's try to make the waiting time until the next chapter gets released a bit more interesting:
The following poll has been there for pretty much every campaign in the Map Section so far - including the demo of the Second Human Book.
Yet, much has changed since the last time and many more have yet to occur!

Here you have another STRAW POLL
Vote for your favorite character/s!

You know the question, you can pick several characters.
Mind you, unlike last time, this is not about who the good or bad character/s is/are, it is about
who is your favorite character/s.

Also, share your vote and discuss it with others!

Includes humans, elves and dwarves only.

Ok.

I chose Gardon, because he is awesome, one of the very few competent characters, and interesting! We don't know much about his backstory and goals and that makes him a very good character.

Edit: Who was the guy that had the guts or audacity to choose van Durce?!!

 

[Daffa]

lol, Thanok the Drillmaster


EDIT :

- Lord Brian the Fallen
>> Mr. unknown
- King Gardon Bloodclaw
>> MC factor
- Lord Thanok the Drillmaster
>> Liked him for his role in Gardon's rise to power
- Duke Valorian Redfist the Tyrant
>> The best of the best Best daddy award /sarcasm
- Lord Marin the Master Engineer
>> He's an engineer, all you need to vote for him
- High Lord Renald van Durce the Penitent
>> Obviously

I want to pick Aedale, but she's a sick magician now. Nope Nope.

 

[Championfighter25]

I picked Gardon, Brian and Aedale.
But since i really want to put walls of texts inside this thread, i'm gonna share my opinion on each character.

Gardon:
He is the most well made character in this series by far. A really controversial figure, neither good or evil, he is ready to both save humanity, but at the same time use it as an expendable resource. A badass all the time, he fights for what he believes in and in the ways he is most comfortable without making it a secret to most people.


Brian:
Although a pretty mysterious character the guy made me like him the instant i saw him. Having the powers of a now dead shadow god he is a formidable opponent and somewhat tragic of a character if we consider he keeps his ring to remind him of his long lost humanity and family. It makes me have pity and sympathy for him.


Aedale Redfist:
She, from birth always had a lot of great things to show to the world, but as the old saying goes "intelligent people have doubts and idiots have confidence".
She always felt, although she wasn't, a very neglected person. She wanted to prove herself ro everyone and get their approval. That inferiority complex in her sadly made her go down the path of evil. There is still time though and we may be able to save her.


Now to the other characters


Councilor Birram:
Well we haven't seem him a lot and he doesn't do that much in the campaign, but from what i have seen, i classify him as a ok character.

Blen Greymoore:
Righteous, lawfully good, is a symbol of everything the empire standed for, but a gullible character too. He sided with Genethas although it was obvious by his provocations that Genethas was the traitor. And even if the player chose he didn't someone had to take the blame for the old man's betrayal. Blen was a good, but expendable general at the same time. They could replace him easily. He shouldn't have, but took all the blame. Will he be memorable? Probably since he was a main character, but his righteous persona makes him kind of forgetable in my opinion.


Claire Greendale:
She is well, still not so exposed and i doubt she will be, but still i see her as an ok character. It's sad that she is brainwashed and doesn't serve Gardon under her own free will. Also i find it kind of funny how a golden guard saved her by sacrificing himself as we see in "diary of a soldier".


Cora Redfist:
The sister of Aedale, she is a good soldier, but sadly she is like a pawn, she only knows the surface of her allegiance, but not what happens inside it. That flaw may play a part in her, maybe premature death.


King Dorten:
Hates the imperials for a good reason. Wants the best for his people. Unlike Gardon he has moral bounds and will not sacrifice even his dearest things to achieve victory against the enemies of humanity. That part makes him more of a reliable and less controversial ally, but may lead to his downfall if he doesn't break his moral code a few times in the future.

Lord Genethas:
He sold his soul for power and sadly cost humanity a lot. He didn't really care though. He became a slave and was ok with it. He deserved to die.

Lord Harmos:
He was a sidekick for the entire first book. He always played second fiddle to Greymoore and was a neglected character. Now got the chance to finally show what he got and i can say he is pretty good for now. Keep on progaderasing your character Harmos.


Korras Retka:
He betrayed the kingdoms at the best time possible. No this is no joke, he isn't good, because he did it unintentionally, but his betrayal made Gardon the most powerful ruler on the continent.
People say van Durce tricked him, but i beg to differ. He knew he could die, but he took the offer and regretted it.


Larine the exile:
Kind of like Cora. She knew what she was serving on the surface, but once she realised what she did, she left immediately.


Sir Lerrig:
A character that wasn't meant to be more than a annoyance. A worthless general, that only became one, because of connections. And on top of that after he fought for Genethas, the empire ( that was being controlled by the dark entity at that point, in my opinion) wanted him alive, since he was worthless and continued to fail, thus killing the smart people the dark entity wants to get rid of. He deserved to die.


Lord Marin:
A excellent engineer that knows how to build. Sad that he is on the side of the golden guard, but if we get the chance to form an alliance with the golden guard in chapter 11, thus making the impossible to imagine unholy alliance, he may be quite the useful guy for the entire world.


Admiral Merlon Seabright:
A good admiral, that has quite the foundation for a spin-off campaign based completely on him. For me he is an above average character for now.


Sir Praxeus:
He is a golden guard and since he gives us no reasons to love him and only hate him, we hate him. Simple as that.


Renald van Durce:
Although we don't want to admit it, he isn't responsible for most of his crimes. He may act as he pleases sometimes, but emperor Theodor always has the last word. That kind of makes me pity him, a little bit though. His attitude and arrogance is the main reason he gets under my skin. If only we could fix that...


Queen Renova:
Wanted to save the elves, but abandon the continent at the same time. She thinks that the elves will be better living under the empire, but i really dount it. Surrounded by humans and the dark entity, the elves will get assimilated sooner or later if they made it to the human continent.
While living under Gardon is bad, at least it will be a bit better.


Salana Woodhunter:
Was a loyal servant of Queen Renova, now Gardon (even though she is brainwashed by him).
She has no free will, which is sad, but at the same time a good thing... In a strange way since she can screw Gardon's plans.


Scarlett Retka:
A woman who wants to avenge her brother's death, but is untrustworthy at the same time. I don't really think she will be our ally for a long period of time.



Thanok:
A loyal servant of Gardon, a badass and a black dragon. Thanok is really cool and i would really love if we get a spin-off campaign based on him.


Prince Toraes:
I don't really have an opinion on this character. Shame...


Vail:
The last heir of the Zyainor empire, Vail is forced to live a life where she is constantly reminded how much people hate the former empire. But if she survives Zyainor's revival and is a good ruler alongside Gardon, people's opinions may change.

Duke Volarian Redfist:
A tragic character that we thought was evil, but it turns out was quite good. We turned him into the tyrant and now because of us he will have to suffer in chapter 13. Quite unfortunate.

If you read absolutely every opinion then good job.

Also if you found any grammar mistakes and are annoyed by them, then sorry, i wrote this kind of in a hurry.

 

[DD Mikasa]

I would call Gardon a anti-hero.Neither villan nor hero.Does not go out of his way to harm others but neither will he do so to help them.

Edit:On the poll matter.All i have to say is
*Clears throat*
Duke Redfist,Duke Redfist,Duke Redfist,Duke Redfist,Duke Redfist,Duke Redfist,Duke Redfist,Duke Redfist,Duke Redfist and Duke Redfist.

The Duke Redfist that Aedale sees or the true Duke?

Welp it seem i'm going to say my personal favorite as well hehe


As we all know we love King Gardon

He is an Badass, ruthless,cruel, willingly do anything to achieve victory by all means of dark magic or threats, dosen't take kindly to traitors (which is ducking AWESOME) he ruled both kingdoms (that breaks the rule of Monarchy rules but meh is your decision my man) he has loyal soilder that are willingly to sacrifice in order to get the job done, gain allies and also somewhat of an investigator, umm decent or great swordman in terms of combat and use of dark magic. As for the well made character for this book i have to admit he is an one "Son of a b***h) character so far from my opinions and yours *wink wink*

For Aedale Redfist the Corrupted. Oh oh oh she my personal favorite and i did watch the who is the monster cinematic. She is unique to me due to the fact she is just an girl who wants to acknowledge her and have an crush on Blen i guess, and the crave for power to prove she is right.

For General Blen Greymoore... is my third favorite character so far, because well Championfighter25 just explain my favorite character so yeah thanks btw

For thanok is my forth favorite character because he is so loyal to his leader *cough* Gardon *cough*, and second right hand of Gardon but he is somewhat merciless from my point of view

For Harmos.. um well he is my fifth favorite cause he face the Fire lord from book 1 and 2. Now become the leader of that order.

For Lord Brian...as my sixth favorite but almost nothing to say except his so mysterious son of the gun that he kinda persuasive, gentlemen, mentor.

the rest umm well nothing my favorite

 

[Pourquoi]

In the intro of chapter 3, there's this line:

We "accidently" alerted the rebels of our presence.

It should be 'accidentally' instead of 'accidently'.
In the intro of chapter 4, Edoarus misspells Gardon's name as 'Bloodlcaw'.
In the ending of chapter 5, Retka misspells Pyrru as 'Pyrrus'.
The loading screen of chapter 7, 'convenience' is misspelt 'convinience'.
In the interlude between chapters 8 and 9, 'oppressed' is misspelt 'opressed' by Kasraazs.
Chapter 9 epilogue, 'member' is misspelt 'memeber'.

 

[Emperor Lucas II]

There's a bug on Burning Forest, a farm and a workshop of the Golden Guard base besides Lord Teran's base, is floating within mid air.

And there's the dialogue of Saphira saying that Aridon has left the "plane", not the "plain".

 

[Pourquoi]

And there's the dialogue of Saphira saying that Aridon has left the "plane", not the "plain".

Plane is the correct word to use in this context (scroll down to the 4th homonym).

 

[Emperor Lucas II]

Plane is the correct word to use in this context (scroll down to the 4th homonym).

But to avoid confusion to the player, the correct word here has to be plain.

 

[Shar Dundred]

"Plain" makes absolutely no sense in that context.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Christmas is getting closer, Arkain Industries is even more busy these days than usually!
Despite that, however, we have, once again, something special for you: A scene stripped from Chapter Ten,
the chapter that brings you the aid!
The question here is...what kind of aid could we be refering to?
Who will aid whom? And will there be a prize?

Take a look at the cinematic and find out yourself!
Or... will you REALLY find out? There is only one way to know!

Seriously? Praxeus is acting like the Golden Guard are the victims?

They were the ones that started the Retka rebellion, they were the ones that tried to kill Gardon... and he apparently forgot to mention what was the original purpose of the cannon. I am sure the Dwarves would love to know that they were planning to leave the continent alongside the elves...

 

[Championfighter25]

Spoiler

The Golden guard choice seems like it's only going to be beneficial in the short-term. The dwarves will help them hold off the demons, but a medium golden guard force and 1 race cannot withstand being surrounded everywhere by powerful enemies.
The deal with the Ironfist is way more beneficial in the long term.
Also really? Once, just once, i wish the orcs did something useful in these campaigns...

Typical for them i guess. They need lies to gain allies. I'd call them the ''holy masquerade''. They completely hide their crimes and accuse others, while having the apology ''we serve the light''.
Ironfist are ''the exposed darkness''. (yeah, both names are stupid)
They make everyone know what they serve without making it a secret. I'd chose ironfist anyday since they will know what i exactly fight for.

You might wanna take into consideration that, in comparison to the Elves, the Dwarves
have a MASSIVE military with tons of experience and lots of siege weapons while Queen
Renova didn't take the measurements neccessary to participate in the war.
Salana is trying to undo this, but the Dwarves are still superior in both numbers and strategy.
In a Elves VS Dwarves scenario, the Elves would be screwed without reinforcements.

Good to know...

I always knew that the Dwarves were far more advanced in terms of technology than other races. Though I suppose that they will lack good spellcaster units, right?

And I suppose that dwarves have greater lifespans than both humans and elves, which allowed them to gain more experience in fighting?
