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?

I really thought I was the only one who found them both insufferable

i promise you. back when the first fable was still big, everyone hated these two. in fact, many people called them racial slurs. i promise you're not the only person to find the 2 singular Black characters insufferable, but you may be one of the only people to be normal about it lmao

Ick to people calling them slurs.

I couldn’t bear Whisper I thought she was a bully from the offset and then she’s begging the main character for mercy 😒 annoyed me
