I don't want to play a character who is out for personal gain.

Then Godless isn't for you. I'd suggest Zaros, Saradomin, or Armadyl. Runescape doesn't need a hero...it needs a villain. An all encompassing force of evil that will remain ever-threatening and use chaos to make the peoples of Gielinor tolerate each other, grow strong together, and fight side by side against this evil. I am that villain.

I would suggest following Seren or Armadyl. Seren has the same exact thoughts as Guthix. She agrees that the mortals shouldn't be worshiped and wants to stay out of the war as much as possible. She cares so much for her people and other mortals who followed Guthix.

Armadyl is really the only person who speaks honestly. Everyone calls him a hypocrite, but he isn't. He tries to do what is right.

Bandos started to build his tower first, and that is why Armadyl came in. To protect everyone that Bandos threatened, including other followers of other gods. Protecting Falador when it wasn't his people. Something Saradomin didn't care anything about.

His book states that he doesn't like to fight. But if it comes to it, he will. He crushed Bandos' head to prove a point that he isn't as naive as he was in the God Wars in the 3rd Age. Come the Sixth-Age, the world will need the World Guardian.

Pardon me, but I don't remember him saying anything about being there to protect Falador or the people.

And isn't Bandos supposed to be the honest one, however unpalatable his philosophy may be? I don't see anything suggesting that Armadyl is more honest than the other gods. Not saying that Armadyl is *dis*honest, but singling him out as "the only one who speaks honestly"... I could just as easily claim the same of half the other gods.


Not trying to knock Armadyl here, btw, he's my 2nd choice god and I proudly fought for him in WE2.

Eh, just because you are somewhat self-serving doesn't mean you don't have the best interests of Gielnor at heart. You don't think the leaders of the Godless aren't self-serving? Who is going to lead Gielnor after the gods are gone? The Godless also have no plan in place to deal with the Elder Gods.

I'll stick with Zaros for now. If I see enough evidence that his plan will fail, or that someone else has a better one, then I will switch sides.
You don't follow the "leaders" of the Godless; it's a popular movement with one purpose. Thus, whether or not individuals in the Godless faction are self-serving is utterly meaningless.

The question of who will lead Gielinor after gods are gone is likewise meaningless, since 1) the gods are not currently governing any regions, and 2) most regions already have their own society/government/hierarchy/whatever that governs and leads them.

The fact that the Godless don't have a plan to deal with the Elders is, again, meaningless, since they share that aspect with literally every single faction besides Zaros (and possibly Seren; don't recall her saying anything specific, though).

Whatever floats your boat, obviously, but I'd still say Zaros is not a faction for the magnanimously minded (unless you're really gullible, I guess). Patrolling Lore FC almost makes you wish for a Great Revision.

...I just did the Gower quest.

I can no longer take Zaros seriously...

Why? Zaros never appeared in Gower Quest. That was obviously Sueros. Who, by the way, is tall, handsome, a total super genius, and is obviously super great at bass guitar.

Yeah! That was obviously Zaros. That's why I am always in a state of completely hating him and never taking him or his followers seriously. ^ "Some of those words were
