I’m going to go ahead and say the Warcraft series.

There’s good races and bad races. There’s science races and greedy races (ok I get this is common in games). The good guys are hyper Christian, blonde, and patriarchal. “I will cleanse this land” is a quote. The world is hyper monarchal . Oh ya, in Warcraft 2, you put down a literal peasant revolt of your own peasants.

Fuck I’m old.

When I was a teenager I played WoW all the time but hardly paid attention to any lore or story and then one day decided to start actually reading the story that got us there and immediately went “Oh so the Horde are unquestionably the good guys, fuck humans as per usual”

Just world of Warcraft alone is the opposite.

Huge world vs small, history that makes no sense, no real decisions to make as a character, no real npcs, everything is combat, cluttered UI.

The ideology of the game is that races alignment is more important than material, everyone will always be at war, it’s impossible for orcs to be friends with humans.

The monarchies/religion parts, but also the gods are 100% real and physically exist, there is no mystery as even knowledge of life after death is established, and there are true enemies who are evil demons.

Disco Elysium is the anti Wow.

warcraft has the problem of it’s prominent writers having pet characters
see sylvanas going from random elf war crime enjoyer to unkillable godlike girlboss who the plot revolves around

I think they toned down the Trolls a little at some point.

Funny enough they made a playable clone race / different tribe of different trolls just a few years ago and they’re basically wakanda

Its so funny that horde is not supposed to be the “evil” side yet they replaced the evil warchief with the undead girlboss war criminal.

I saw the cutscene of her doing war crimes burning down the tree. Did that ever resolve into anything meaningful or was she just blatantly evil?
