Anyways, after I replayed the Dwarf quests back-to-back, saw the story as a whole, BotD elevated from what I originally thought a disappointment, to my favourite quest series finale in the game. Not saying you'll have that sort of epiphany. But I think an examination of the series as a whole could enrich your views on the quest.


I have. You meet Veldaban as one of the guards. You work with him to foil the Red Axe's ever increasing plots. We get the sense that Veldaban really cares about the citizens of the poorer district of the city, which are being taken by the Red Axe and no one in the rich district or the consortium appears to care, so there's that growing resentment against them and he begrudgingly becomes king. Then by the finale all that stuff about the poor citizens seems to be out the window and it's just a big ball of "kill the red axe and anyone even remotely affiliated with them."

...Power corrupts?
I was going to say that losing the one he loved turned him into that, not power. The sadness made him insane.

...Possibly both?
NO
I do not ship ZamorakxZaros.
I follow them. And Marimbo, the best t5 god.

Veldaban was neither insane nor corrupt. Nor was his fixation on the Red Axe entirely genuine. King of the Dwarves is probably the most important quest for his character development. But his, Hreidmar's, and Meike's arcs are deliberately built to both mirror and contrast each other in significant ways. Bizarro Keldagrim is an allegory for far more than Hreidmar's madness.

Worst is ofc Imp Catcher, and best the Witch's Potion. If you ask me by the way, but i'm going to answer right now even if you didn't, the two should be swapped, make the potion hunt back to quest and the G.E. run into mini or make those beads actually special and untradable, gotten as loot from imps just like the other 4 already existing.

cuss the diss

The elf finale was just disappointing because it was rushed. At least that dev work went into Prifddinas I guess.
for me it was disappointing because you expected something incredible epic, and every year that went by without that quest being added, your expectations went up

and then the quest comes and it's basically 'here's your city, have fun, nothing epic to see here, move along' AesirWarrior said :
Fun fact: It's not a pillar anymore, it's a statue.
they changed it to a statue to try to stop the pillar jokes, so no way in hades am I ever going to stop the pillar jokes

like when they killed yelps and replaced him and said 'you wanted yelps gone, he's gone'
no. we (okay, fine, I can't speak for everyone).. I wanted sof gone. not yelps. didn't kill him either. It's not his fault jagex added microtransactions

Gower Quest. Reason?

The atrocious bar, which takes more than half the quest with you, the player, near-mindlessly running around in there doing stuff random NPC's want. Plus, the bar is post-modern and basically full of crap. Go figure, good fight, Jagex. My score: Zero...FAIL!
It was never meant to be taken seriously. It was meant to be ridiculous


Then Jagex done wasted bandwidth on a piece-of-crap of a quest. -_-
You peer into a Chapel of Zamorak, which appears to be abandoned. Before you can close the doors again, a Revenant Chaos-Bringer flies at you and slays you instantly with a bolt of Shadow Lightning. Oh dear! You are dead!

I HATED Yelps and was very glad when I was able to slaughter him. =Laughing deviously...=
