The Wight King(WIP) - Chapter 6 added (12/01/2023)

hmm… good is very perspective based.
i mean killing half the people on earth in a instant painlessly due to the world being incredibly overpopulated as is in a way is a act of good especially since those that died didn’t feel it
…not that that is the kind of good i want to do but it just goes to show there is what is needed and what is wanted and fulfilling one over the other from both sides can be both considered good and evil.

Joking aside, I can also see why people (Thanos) might have that point of view. He really believed what he is doing is right and why one half will die painlessly and the other will have a better life. He really thinks he is the good guy.

Yep and both good and evil can have the opposite effect wars produce great strides in technology to better man.
Acts of great evil often produce good things accidentally.
And then there is the phrase “the road to hell is paved with good intentions”
In the end acts of good and acts of evil are just like renegade and paragon points pointless…
It’s all grey and fluid.
Buuuutt we need to label it something and how else to i get the supreme overlord title and lord it over Skeletor, Sauron, and Lord Sidius?
Good guy wight king is cool too

Could even do both, I suppose. Have a good mc with very little control over… whateverthefuck wanted to break those Templars so damn bad. Or just straight up grey morality. Best thing about these sort of games, really. :smile:

Anyone else plan on going somewhere down the middle?

Nah, sitting on the fence is boring! Saying that though, I would probably have one playthrough trying to balance the whateverthefuck energy (that should be the official term for that now :D) and the peace within like the Yin and Yang.

Personally I like the full-on method as I am quite a quiet person in RL and it feels good to release virtual fustration on the tomb door :grin:

Simply leans back to watch the theories clashing with a glass of wine. :smirk:

Asterius really has his own way of doing things. He’s kind of a rebel for a paladin, and often acts in unexpected ways, even if he can be uptight about some things. And at this point, even him doesn’t suspect just what kind of monster you are.

Nah, you can’t be his ancestor, he’s about 35 and you’re not all that old yourself.

I think I spend my whole life reminding people around me that there is no universal good. Just to be annoying. XD

And I like it. Much better than plain, flat villains that destroy everything for funsies.

Giving in is a dangerous road, one that some may not be willing to take, for it is one of sacrifices.

And painful.

Welcome, fellow barbarian in hiding. :japanese_goblin:

Fair enough! I don’t think I’d take the risk but I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say he far outclasses us at this point. If he has literally no clue what we’ll eventually be capable of then he really has no reason to be bothered about letting us go for now.

@Drakeye
I have limited experience with DND (not even dnd technically it’s Pathfinder) but from what I do have this is painfully accurate. I’m the rogue. It’s not a barbarian but still. We have (had?idk it’s been forever) dwarf fighter likes to use himself as a battering ram at this point I’ve just stopped trying :sweat_smile:

That makes for a cliché villain. ‘Oh, look at me, I am eeeeevil!’ as opposed to ‘I am doing this because I believe it to be the right thing to do’ which allows the author to build a person around this. They may be utterly psychotic and insane, but in their own mind they are far from a villain. :grin:

1.) What is a wight king is supposed to actually do? Spreading chaos is a pretty broad term.

2.) Will we find out how the wight king was created? Not the MC, but how the first Wight king became the wight king?

shrug whatever they godamn well want probably. Spreading chaos may be a broad term but it’s hella fun :grin:

If you’ve read older posts on this thread, or just read my earlier post, you’ll find that Astereus knew the MC when they were alive, he just didn’t meet them much

You don’t have to do anything, chaos spreads around you no matter what. The MC will mostly pursue their own goals at first. First you’ll be putting the pieces of your memory back together and gathering allies, and then you’ll go on to larger schemes.

Like burning elven forests! :grinning:
