    Another book finished. That's... what? 10 SuperCuts now? I dunno; I've lost count. That's not bad going considering the Dawn of the Aspects SuperCut came out in March 2020. Maybe this won't take until I'm 90 years old after all

  • @booradley6832
    @booradley6832 Рік тому +4

    Metzen really kinda failed at this one to be honest. If Tirion just said "I am still governor until formally convicted and stripped of title, as head of the court I order that we sequester everyone with any information immediately. Saidan talk to me first and then corroborate the story with my subordinates who found me and then speak to the orc, he speaks our language. I will come with and reassure the orc that it was a mistake and get him to cooperate but not speak about events as to influence him so you're given an objective chance to gather evidence" they would have figured out that the orc had indeed been the one to save Tirion, he saved him instead of leaving him for dead which would have protected his secret. Talking to him would bring up that he had no desire to fight except in self defense, and backed it up with how didnt even make an honest attempt to kill the legions of soldiers who came to capture him, just to incapacitate them despite being severely outnumbered and wounded. Even backed into a corner where everyone becomes an animal, he was still in control.
    Just shouting "Honor" for 3 hours doesnt not really make a story any better, Chris. This feels like "Paladins are lawful stupid: The Novel"
    -Honorable paladin just refuses to actually tell the story to anyone that would clear it up in minutes
    -Tirion unable to use "Honor" as an excuse for why their needs to be order and procedure
    -Tirion only speaks in vague platitudes and half truths
    -Other paladin tries to convince him to lie, like a good paladin?
    -Disobedient subordinate was tolerated in the Paladins for...reasons?
    -Two of the four judges have magical ways of actually seeing the events transpire to check what happened
    -Everyone rolls a 1 for IQ checks at every stage
    -They interrogated the orc, found out it can speak but still call Eitrigg a mindless brute. Despite him learning their language in old age, naturally, without education.
    -So many disconnects and suspensions of disbelief required. This novel resembles "going to court in a military junta" than anything in Warcraft.
    Your jokes and reading were quite good as always though. I'm glad you died in Legion Tirion, I never want to see your ass ever again after this.

    • @HypnoPope
      @HypnoPope Рік тому +2

      Exactly, stupid contrivances like that really annoy me. Why won't you just tell what happened!? Even Eitrigg is stupid, supposedly is easily evading scouts for years but then just stays in the same tower he was already found twice! Worst is, that the story could follow the same path without that nonsense with only little more thought put into it. For example, Tirion says what happened in full, but his judge doesn't value battle honor and blood debt as high. Maybe use the archbishop instead of Uther - he is religious founder of their order after all, so he have the authority. He can see it as wavering faith and pacting with evil in addition to disobeying order and denounce Tirion just the same.
      Also both Barthilas and Karandra are such caricatures of dumb annoying prick and nagging wife respectively. In story about conflict between honor and duty it may be interesting to use Tirions friend as the one who reports him, as he truly is friend, but see is as his duty, instead of some bloke just being an asshole. The wife is used in story to add weight compelling Tirion to choose against his honor, but it doesn't really have such big impact, when instead of loving relationship that is being at risk by his choice we only ever see nagging, Tirion responding "honor" and neither of them changing anything.

      You're forgetting that people don't work logically. He made a promise not to tall anyone about what really happened and do you really think telling anyone an Orc was cool would fly? No, most people would still be xenophobic idiots, it happens all the time in real life. Actually it's more common for that to happen than for there to be any forgiveness
