I would like to point out that the Heros used in GW is a colour of variety do to skin.It would seem to me as I played with my Monk in North Kryta and I let my Heros do all work for me I began thinking of thier skin tone being what it is and then thinking of certian Movie called Roots.I am not sure if the Devs took this into consideration when useing them although beinf similiar to Henchmen but they do level and get skills.I would just like to ask are Heros becoming like slavery in GW?

I hope you're just joking around and not treating this as a serious subject.

I guess you can look at it in that perspective. but that requires a real obscure and overly exaggerated simplication if you compare video game NPCs to a very sensitive issue.

Personally, i call them Poke-heros. ;P I give them top notch equipment and they help me kick butt.

What? Is this some kind of joke?

The Sunspears are an army. They obbey you because they are your subordinates, not your slaves.

Koss is Koss, not Kunta Kinté.

They are definitely not slaves. They take all the good loot, and suck up your money.

Wow. That's looking for something that's not there.

I take a Moa Bird to do all the killing in Ascalon, am I molesting animals?

Just to add my sentiments...

The Sunspears are a military organization. Fairly early in NF, you become a very high rank in the Sunspears (General). The Heroes are your troops. They do what you say because they're YOUR troops. They're not slaves.

Besides, how could they be when they take your stuff? I know they've already taken at least 15 white and black dyes from me

Age, you should know better than to make a post like that.

A list of things NEVER to be discussed on a forum: Race, Politics, Religion, Nationalism, there are a few others, but I don't want to start anything.

Basically don't discuss anything controversial in the forum, unless it's in direct relationship to the game.

ummm...not all the heroes are black. Heck, Acolytes Jin and Sosuke aren't even Elonian. Zhed Shadowhoof is a centaur.

GW is a game. Period. This thread needs to be locked now.

Yes, heroes are of varying colors/species and you can order them around. No, it has nothing to do with the abuse and sale of humans. Closed.
