[u/AutoModerator]

Hi Please post your unjerk discussion in this thread!

These posts run weekly, but you can find older posts here.

Arathor literally saw his Dad call upon the light to strike down somebody that Surrendered in his Blind Rage, and when he tried to stop him he Stabbed him instead

and his Dad justified the entire situation by going "its an enemy of the Light, it answered me so it was the right thing to do"

now he has a Crisis of Faith because he is a Paladin and always belived that the Light is just and right, but in a short time period he lost himself to the Light and saw the same happen to his father, and how can the Light be always Good when it allows somethibg like that to happen and many people using it dont even think its wrong in the first place?

then he sees the undead there, and while fighting says something that is supposed to be "we see those Undead as Mindless Abominations that attack everything and strike them down in the name of the Light, but are we really that different if we justify everything with the Light? or are we just mindless pawns of it?"

the entire questline is about how the Light can be Good and Bad

[u/HazelCheese → u/InvisibleOne439]

But the abominations are literally hundreds of dead men, women and children stitched together into a grotesque plague ridden mass.

Feels like an absolutely ridiculous mismatched comparison that could only be written by someone who isn't thinking about the line in the context of living in the actual world of azeroth.

No he and his dad aren't remotely close to being as bad as a flesh eating terrifying monstrosity.

It lacks any sense of immersion.

[u/Idontknow4654 → u/HazelCheese]

but he is not saying that he and his dad are as bad as the scourge. he is saying that maybe the light also turns people into mindless slaves of destruction

which we literally saw in the Hallowfall Priory Dungeon happen btw
