Recently Ben asked what a true hero is. I decided to modify his question to ask two new questions. What is a true antihero? And why don't I (and maybe others will agree with me) see more antihero type personas in lotc? Why is it always super good moral heroes or super evil darkspawn villains with little middleground? Would love to hear some thoughts on this topic from the community at large.

  antiheroes are just extreme heroes in fantasy tropes. you aren’t really constrained to the idea of morality and you are just normally pursuing threats that aren’t human. nuances of “extreme violence” don’t rly apply when ppl die for stealing or insulting people without thought.

  Yeah, i get that, in lotc a lot of crimes are just death without thought. But why is that the standard with little change ya know? Is it too hard to switch it up or change?

  lol, it is. Cultural roots from the last decade are hard to dislodge, so as anti hero as you get is just the radicalisation of xannites and Templars to enforce justice
