I mean, that wizard in the human campaign briefings WAS Gandalf, and nothing would ever convince my kid mind otherwise.īut once that changed in games Warcraft 3 and HoMM 4, and like you say you essentially were playing Arthas or whoever else was the hero "on the ground" I suddenly started to pay much more attention to the actual storylines (it also helped they were much better developed than in the previous games).īreja. I really had a whole different story for the Heroes of Might & Magic games in my head (multiple stories in fact), and the first Warcraft I treated essentially as a unlicensed LotR game. Because with a lot of such games I just came up with a character for myself, and often a whole story, and largely ignored what little there was in mission briefings. It's not something that really bothers me, but looking back I realised it had impacted my experience with those games more than I realised. In this respect I like Warcraft 3, where you can just pretend you are Arthas, Thrall or whoever. Which unfortunately is less horrible than what they actually did in WoW, by making the escapades of the 'group of adventures' as part of the canon, which is just a stupidly cringey :P 'But thanks to the orc's skillful battle commander, they managed to successfully drive off the human attackers from Blackrock mountain'. The only way it would bother me is if it were part of the canon, e.g. Matewis: Lol yes I've noticed that, but thankfully it hasn't ever bothered me (It's the funniest for me in the Red Alert series). I think it was particularly hilarious in Starcraft, where the brefings would often turn into arguments and shouting matches between the various characters, but your "commander" is just watching it without ever having a say in any matter, just waiting for the more interesting people to give him his objectives :D Lol yes I've noticed that, but thankfully it hasn't ever bothered me (It's the funniest for me in the Red Alert series). Perhaps I should check out The Old Republic sometime, but seeing as it's an mmo I'm very skeptical.īreja: Oh, and as a sidenote: am I the only one who thinks it's kind of strange how in most strategy games you play as some anonymous "commander" or "general" who doesn't really seem to exist in any way in the game world, and despite being present, even vital to all those historic events has no place in the games' lore? The Sith storyline just making you a bully is very unfortunate, since I don't really have any desire to play like that either. I'm not sure if I'm making any sense :D Oh sure I definitely agree on that point, though in KOTOR it's not so much "check them off the list" as just being kind of starved for more KOTOR content. I don't know, like it cheapens the story. Playing through the other options just to "check them off my list" feels wrong somehow. ![]() That's why I rarely replay RPGs to explore the other branches of the story - the choice I made the first one is usually the one I feel is "right". ![]() ![]() I like to see where the story takes the character, and make choices I feel make sense for my character, rather than to intentionally steer the story towards a "good" or "evil" path. Hell, I may turn into a anti-hero of sorts if that's what I feel makes sense. In general in RPG I always play "good guys" but not paladins of all goodness. ![]()
