Kill'em All. Let the Gods Sort Them Out.

[DuckAttack]

I was playing a "good" character, until I got to the location with all the dark dwarves. When I spotted a pile of certain corpses, I snapped. I didn't just go berserk. I went full on evil. I followed some around until they were alone. I didn't stab them I shoved them to their doom.

Next I started picking them off if they were alone.

Once all their numbers were reduced, I got the high ground and opened fire. Some fell fell to arrows, some got drop kicked into the river, and some took a bath lava.

The only one I didn't kill was the guy studying the stone work. I like to think he'll eventually go looking for his friend and drop dead from fear.

I'm not sure if I broke anything with this rampage, but I don't care.

Has anyone else just gone nuts and killed everything?

They died in a mining accident though, during forced labor, sure, but it wasn't some mass murder you've uncovered.

But you'd have to fight them anyway when big boss gets freed from rubble.

I mean, they aren't humans so if they live or die it didn't bother me.

The Derugar in lore are horrible people who enslave, r@pe, murder and raid.

At least that is the way they were in 2E-3.5, I honestly don't care to learn what 5e retconned for political reasons.

So as far as I know/care you did the right thing getting rid of them.

Not in this game but in others yes. Nice thing to rp.

It's been a long time since I read the Drizzt books. I remember their being some good in all the evil races, but I don't remember a good Derugar.

Explains why I took care of that guy in one round. No backup.

This discussion is old, he did wrong, and if he was a paladin, he gets oathbreaker for it, why? Well, because he is not in a 2023 real world justice system there, he is in the underdark, by law, in this realm, brutality and slavery is not only allowed, but rather necessary, the underdark is a cruel and unforgiving place, it is their culture.

It would be different if those duegar would be on the surface, raiding, enslaving and pillaging a village or whatnot, but they are not, you help weak people asking for help, no good thing by helping them in the underdark, as soon your gone, those weak people will get obliterated anyways, weakness has no place in the underdark, and a little wannabe surface do gooder will not change that.

I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead. Every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women and the children, too. They're like animals and I slaughtered them like animals. I hate them.

Sneak shoving is the best way to kill! I was fighting the demon looking dude in the goblin camp and I had my entire party climb to the rafters. Then I pushed his ass into the pit below. It was epic!

not yet in BG3, but its just a matter of time :-).

In Fallout (i think 2) I was helping some bigger settlement, until one day a child pickpocket me on the street. I only wanted to punish the kid, but his friends joined the battle, then everyone else joined, and it ended up in one very dead settlement. It didnt break the game, finished the story fine.

Then i still remember Arcanum. In one playthrough I was a bit wild half-orc. At one point, one of the quest givers for main plot (Gill Bates for those who played it) pissed me off, and it ended up in a rampage where i killed every single person in the biggest city I believe the game had (actually it was more of a self defense, they kept attacking me on sight). What was amazing that it also didnt brake the game, missed some quests, some were made shorter because I got the stuff I needed from the dead bodies ... but I finished the game just fine.

In BG2 and Planescape torment I think I also butchered whole or at least big parts of the main cities because they behaved really ugly to me, but I believe I realoaded after a bit more because it felt like I am missing too much of the content.

But I am sure one dark dwarf settlement wont be missed at all in your game :-). I also just reached them today, but left to have a rest and finished some other stuff ... but man I had a feeling something ugly is going to happen there when I get back :D

Sometimes good paladins do that when they come upon great evil.

There might be a good one out there but the chances of them living among their own people is likely close to 0 because by doing so every day they would be forced to be part of things that would go directly against what they wanted to be/believed in.

Yep. Let me tell you about my day.

I woke up without any memory after having had my brain made love to by a squid. Perks are I have Jedi powers, down side is you will die in 7 days. Oh and then I was attacked by brains which I proceeded to bash to death. I met an evil witch who barked orders at me and a sleeping princess who she insisted we leave behind. It took every ounce of my strength not to bash her brains in next while we freed the girl who turned out to be an emo that just wanted to be friends. We somehow ended up in Hell, not figuratively, and I fell to my death only to be given whiplash by a last second save. Oh the ship we were on almost crashes onto my head.

Next I go ashore and meet some people attempting to break into a tomb. Naturally they tried to kill me. Then I meet a pale skinned elf. Who also tried to kill me. Then I meet another man. Who later confides in me that he also could kill me at any time by exploding. I find some goblins trying to kill some people, and upon getting noticed they ALSO try to kill me. The people I save let me into their camp but it turns out to be full of devil people that want nothing to do with me. I thought the kids would be nicer. Nope, they stole my watch.

After that I was almost by killed by half a dozen other things so I decide to go to sleep.

The next day, I killed everyone in Faerun and was promoted to Unholy Assassin.
