Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] You are a simple skeleton enemy in a fantasy world, when you encounter the hero, instead of killing you he spares you and asks you to join his side on his adventure. by Interesting_Snow_596

You might enjoy Shin Megami Tensei or Persona if you like the idea of sparing your enemies in exchange for allegiance/money/items.

Reminds me of Song of Ice and Fire (book version, not sure about show) where >!Tyrion got wedded to a young Sansa but didn't want to force her into anything!<

Reply to comment by PM_ME_UR_RECIPEZ in [WP] The Clergy hates your eccentric ways, but you remain the best Exorcist and you love your job. You're only called upon to chase the strongest, fiercest demons. But your prayers are just for show, what really terrifies the spirits away is witnessing a demon powerful enough to take human shape... by Daedal75

I figured the end was referring to Communion, but that interpretation also works, especially with the early mention of 'carnal desires' (theoretically the younger man desiring a prostitute would also qualify and get him in trouble).

Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] the demon overlord has been defeated, in their last breath they try and transfer there power to the hero to try and corrupt them, sadly they missed and now some lazy apathetic kid has to deal with a voice in there head constantly telling them to do evil. by No-Trick2389

In my opinion this would have made for a more interesting Diablo II ending than the one we got.

I'm just imagining the atheist finding out there is a god, but all the purple is because it's Slaanesh.

Some "game deals" accounts make that joke all the time when this game comes up. :P

You'd probably enjoy Bill Willingham's "Fables," especially the Telltale game "The Wolf Among Us," which can be played before reading the books (graphic-content heads-up).

I may have to check this movie out.

Reply to comment by GodKingChrist in [WP] Gregnok is both your worst assassin, and the best. They have never managed to sneak into any location, but at the same time, they've never actually failed at killing the target, so you can't actually fire them. But they're also awful for your guild's reputation. by Red580

I was just about to ask if Gregnok the Assassin was related to Grognak the Barbarian.

I never saw that movie but always heard great things about it and I love Denis Villeneuve. Happy Cake Day!

I was wondering that too but figured it probably meant a literal gate.

I agree on principle, but I guess that's where the story is supposed to fill in the gaps (we meet the alien civilization and slowly learn their language like an exact reverse of the Covenant from Halo).

Anecdotally I'd heard that interpretation too, to say nothing of how, if the world really were ending (and it didn't happen after smallpox or the World Wars), we wouldn't have to guess or speculate.
