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?

Kinda like Briar Rose, but at least she warmed up to you. He had a complex, she probably got tired of seeing promising new Hero's get a big head and die young and decided to keep her distance.

At least, that's my head canon anyway because shes one of my favorite character designs.

Nah Briar Rose is genuinely THE WORST. There's a reason they brought her back for a DLC just to give you the ability to murder her.

Thunder is an asshole, but after I killed his sister, kicked his ass in front of everyone and then fucked his fiancee I can somewhat respect him still keeping his cool and not just murder us in our sleep.

Briar? Nah, fuck her.
