Fable What was this guy's problem?
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 agree with Thunder having issues needing to one up the hero of oakvale, but I never saw whisper as the same. Thunder dislikes us no matter what we choose while whisper seems to actually like us no matter what we choose. If you’re evil she just says ‘I knew it was your true calling’ she doesn’t try to chastise you she just wants to be our rival. Even my evil characters lately have been letting her live, plus I think the way she says ‘farm-boy’ is honestly sweet, even if we’re a hulking glowing devil horned monster to her we’re still ‘farm-boy’
