    You play a first year student, during the goblin rebellion. If you take the hero path, you can help put down the rebelling underclass and their evil human allies with fire, bees, and other non-lethal spells. If you take the evil path, your 12 year old can murder loyalist goblins and their allies with mind control, torture, and murder spells.

      Wait, you get to join the goblins? :sicko-pig:

        Only if we mod the game, which we should

        Turn it into an anti Harry Potter game staring the kid from Bully who just beats up the other kids before they can cast their stupid spells

        :fash-bash: shut up nerds

          Remember, the difference between a submachine gun and a magic missile spell is that you can cast bullet several dozen times a day.

          Or to quote one of my favourite trot authors, "no matter how subtle the wizard, a knife between the shoulder blades will seriously cramp his style."

          Jimmy Hopkins is the master of befriending people by punching them until they shut up. He's anime as fuck.

        Yes, but I got the sense that it's like a fallout style morality thing where supporting the goblins means you also support magic hitler and murdering kittens.

        Only the murdering kittens part is speculation, the goblin uprising is framed as a ploy by magic hitler to weaken wizard society.

          Oh my god they actually did everything they could to make it anti semetic. I don't hate the goblins, they are just weakening wizarding society!

      The implication was that both "good" and "evil" imperialist tactics were used to put down those uppity goblins. :no-workers:

      Unless you can join the goblins which of course has the "these are the evil people that are evil and deserve what's coming to them" implication. :obama-drone:
