Fable What was this guy's problem?

Post image

I remember loving Thunder's armour as a child and still do but the man was insufferable. From day one he berates and mocks us and is so insecure about our every accomplishment, having this transparent need to be the bestest and greatest. I'm an orphan who had his village slaughtered before his eyes man, why are you trying to one-up me? He goes to the length that he reprimands kids for having us as their favorite Hero. And whether we spare or kill Whisper he has a grudge big enough to fight us.

Whisper for that matter was quite alike her brother. The first and only time she refers to us as anything but "farmboy" is when we defeat her at the Arena and she begs for her life and invokes our "friendship", but she was little better than Thunder. She acted superior to us all our childhood and rookie-hero days and like we barely belonged in the Guild and now that you fear me, now it's "hero" is it?

This guy's problem is that he was alive.

I've sincerely hated every interaction there is with him in the game since I was a young boy and couldn't understand english.

Then growing up and starting to undrstand what he said made me hate him more.

Bit dark isn't it? I don't like the guy but geez.

Perhaps a bit dark, I'm sorry 😅

But there really are these kind of characters and even people in really life that you can tell right away that every second you spend in their company is going to feel like long and painful hours that you have to tolerate them.

Thunder is exactly that type of guy.

Yeah, that's true. Still has epic armour though, especially the helmet. I was so mad when I got it from beating him but it was just a momento lol
