Kind Goblins?
« on: August 08, 2010, 10:14:39 pm »

I just arrived at a goblin fortress, talked to one of the inhabitants, and he said "Life is in a word love" Love. Aren't goblins supposed to be vicious, selfish and brutal?

Maybe they're just lonely and misunderstood.

"Misunderstood"...as in Their Love for stealing babies, eating others, murdering themselves, attacking caravans, etc.

Well, their deity of their religion may be the god of love and all...even if he/she is seen or represented as a rotting goblin or something.

Try playing as the Goblins, and youll learn just how misunderstood they are. It feels almost sorrowful to creep around those dark dismal corridors, glancing the occasional beam of sunlight, watching as your friends and bretheren leave, never to be seen again. Prisoners patrolling the lower levels, sometimes rebelling against the authority.
Theyre just lonely :(


And when i strangled that family to death and claimed their corpses to lay neatly upon the floor of my room, its just that its so lonely down there. I needed the company. Will you be my company as well? Can we be friends?

Their Love for stealing babies
Maybe they just needed a friend?

eating others
Even Immortals get hungry.

murdering themselves
Are sinners not allowed to repent?

attacking caravans
Like you've never killed a caravan.

Queuing Admiral Ackbar...

Goblins may have the capacity to love, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they use it on a daily basis, if ever.

When short angry bearded drunks do it, it's funny...
