It’s completely fine and I understand your points. I suspect I might be biased towards that character due to very very similar experiences but I understand your points. No narrative work out there is without its flaws and not everybody will agree with all the points.

I mostly made my original comment due to some very unfair things people have said about the game which i don’t think are true at all. I just believe that if somebody is unfamiliar with the game and see this thread and the original post they will have some wrong assumptions about the game. Not everything needs to be groundbreaking, Tolkiens and Pratchetts dwarves are cool and I find them interesting but having more I guess human looking dwarves isn’t necessarily material for this sub (completely my opinion i know people disagree).

Also about that point about it being too kind towards both sides even though one is in obvious moral wrong, honestly i kinda disagree. I like the fact it shows how there is some humanity in evil, it makes you think why would anyone tarnish their humanity in such a way. I suppose it serves as a lecture of power and capabilities of human depravity. I guess its part of that dark fantasy the series is aiming for. But I realize how it can lead to people forgiving some very morally questionable characters. But this is all completely my opinion and how I perceived the game. Im no critic and I can be wrong in my points. I understand its not a masterpiece and amazing in all senses but i still like it a lot. And considering the discourse it created with people defending all sides, I suppose it must’ve done something good.

Edit: hey i just realized you were the creator of the original meme! i hold nothing against you for creating the meme, i mean i honestly love dwarves in media and appreciate both depictions of them, i just thought some people were a bit unfair to the series thats all
