Free the Goblins!

[superlloyd]

It's the best ways to end all those recurring rebellions! And everyone deserve freedom! :D

[Priest]

Yeah, they really have to portray the wizards as peaceful and the goblins as evil to make the fact that THEY'RE SLAVES REBELLING AGAINST THEIR "SUPERIORS"!

The worst part, though, is that so far in my playthrough, there doesn't appear to be any self awareness.

[superlloyd]

Nicely put my dear friend!

I'd argue it's for kid and they want to avoid (additional?) controversy. Thought, on reflection, I find it an interesting social clue, that sweeping under the rug slavery but fight the "violent freedom fighter" is non controversial.

That said, Ranrok does attack our character, so there is that, haha!

[superlloyd]

I guess it is always controversial to change the status quo, however unpleasant it may be, because those in power wish it for it be!

Goblins are not slaves. They are an oppressed class that the humans regard as a danger to their dominance, so there are restrictions on their activities, like the no wand rule. House elves are slaves though. If anyone rebels it should be them.

[superlloyd]

Yeah, free the elves too!

[Kritter]

Ranrok is just misunderstood. He was badly treated ('nearly beaten to death', I think was how they described it) by a wizard for trying to give him his dropped wand back. Bound to make you a little resentful. I'm sure he's a teddybear, really.

Ranrok also kills and torments his own kind for not doing what he wants them to do

He isn't some hero,he's a extremist radical

We watch him kill another goblin in the intro after all, so he's not some grand savior of goblin kind

Yes, the game has us support the oligarchy!
But I took one little step against it, I opened the repository of ancient magic!

[PocketYoda]

Or better still end them all. Execute order 66 on them..

That was a sell out banker that slept on the job. Ranrok is out there in the trenches fighting for freedom.

well.. revolutionaries are generally evil.. However they usually come because they fill a need for violence, which is often unpredictable, but their time come for usually a good reason... It's all very thorny...

Jesus Christ... Lets apologise for Psychopaths.. You realise Ranrok has nothing to do with your modern agendas right.. Hes a virtual goblin in a game setting..

Ranrok's got my vote
