Zammorak based quests

[Crim_nimora]

the game is said to give you the choice of which denomination you fall into. However the whol game is saradomin and guthix based quest wise.

 

 

 

Zammorak always turns out to be the bad guy in the quests.

 

 

 

And I think we need quests where you get to do bad things to the white knights of falador.

[tucwebb]

i agree but i'd rather see Zaros quests since he is more evil then Zamorak

 

 

 

there are at least 2 quests where you can choose the side of evil i think: carnillian quest and the temple of ikov

Zammorak always turns out to be the bad guy in the quests.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well maybe that's because he's the root of all evil and believes in strength through chaos?

 

 

 

It would help if you spelt his name correctly too, bearing in mind they are already quests when one may become part of the dark side.

[Crim_nimora]

the root of all evil? HE IS NOT A GOD OF EVIL.

 

 

 

and theres arent even half as many of his quests than there are saradomin quests, so that isnt a very good defence.

 

 

 

If you dont think there should be a few more quests that follow the path of chaos then thats your opinion, but dont come on a board with the sole objective to demean every idea you find.

[Outsanity]

First off, Zamorak IS known as the God of Chaos, and Saradomin is the God of LAW. Therefor, classifying either of them as good or evil would be false.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many many people look at the three gods and automatically assume this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saradomin: Good. Equivalent to most religions' highest "God"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guthix: Balanced. Both "good" and "evil." Equivalent to "mother nature" blah-dee-blah.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Zamorak: Evil. Equivalent to what many religions consider "The Devil"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well people, I'd hate to break it to you...but this is wrong. Zamorak is the god of chaos and unorganization. He symbolizes the lack of unity between forces of monster and mankind alike, and the unorderly fashion of the world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saradomin, is Zamorak's opposite. He is the god of Law and Order (Ha ha...don't even point out that that's the name of a nation-wide television series) He keeps peace and order to the world of Runescape and symbolizes the unity between monster and man alike.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guthix: He is meant to keep the other two gods from taking over entirely. Though many think a world filled with "peace and harmony" would be good, it actually wouldn't. The reason mankind has survived so long is because the properties of chaos and law have been balanced. Therefor, just enough "diversity" and "rebelism" (zamorak trait) and "moral" and "harmony" (saradomin) exist that the world can be balanced. If Guthix were to cease existing and one of the gods (either one) took over completely, the world would either trive on utter chaos (zamorak) or decay under unoriginality sameness (saradomin)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the way I see it, at least. And since Jagex has actually said Zamorak was the God of Chaos and Saradomin was the God of Law, I'm almost positive their idea is similar to mine. If not...oh well. =-\

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, to comment on your post: I think that is entirely untrue. Many many quests that Jagex have made allow you to side with zamorak, or, at least, chaos in general. For example, during the Hazeel Cult quest, you can either be "morally correct" and continue to help the man in the mansion (his name escapes me) or you can choose to "backstab" him and help the "evildoers" bring Hazeel back from the dead to wreck havoc upon the world. Since Hazeel himself CLEARLY states that he and Zamorak shall rule the world side-by-side, you are, in fact, choosing the path of "Zamorak"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another example is at the end of the Horror From the Deep quest. Now, though it doesn't ENTIRELY effect any plot line, you are still allowed to choose any god you worship. The SAME principle goes for the Mage Arena.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Temple of Ikov is yet another fine example of a quest where you get to choose between what is "morally right" and what is "morally wrong" by choosing to either side with Lucien and give him the staff of armaydel which will help him conquer the world, or kill him, and stop him from reigning chaos upon the world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There might be more I am forgetting...but my point is this: Even if you're being forced to "side" with "Saradomin" in a quest, doesn't mean you need to believe you're actually siding with them. In Priest in Peril, though you're being told you're helping a disciple of Saradomin, think of it more as you "were just using him to gain access to a land of evil, where you'll be able to plant your seeds of chaos"...(treachery AND chaotic seeds...sounds promising to me. ;))

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unfortunely, people who don't look as in depth as I do are expecting Zamorak to be some "evil, hellish, demon of all that is damned, God"...which he isn't. People also wish to percieve Saradomin as a "kind, good, caring, and understand God"...which, he isn't. ;)

[Crim_nimora]

yes well your completely right, But the number of saradomin quest far outweighs the zamorak ones.

[Bubsa]

The risk though if parents heard that the majority of their child's online questing was going around wreaking havoc, slaying the good, corrupting the innocent etc Then you'd get these stupid "mothers against MMORPG Violence" movements.

 

 

 

Just stereotypical good beats bad, basically.

[Crim_nimora]

........why would there be mothers revolution exactly.... I mean if the decapitated head and pickled brain didnt already create a movement then I doubt that a few more quests based on zamorak will create any sort of dispute. They should be more angry about they terrible things they put on the news. Not to mention some of the ads are more innapropriate than the game "Shoot the cop and win a sony PSP"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also people want to have their children all smiles and rainbows. but heres the fact THAT DOESNT WORK, the developing mind of a child needs to have a balanced amount of good and evil, law and choas, otherwise these nice lil kids who were raised away from from the real world get out into this hellhole we call life and end up commiting suicide.

i agree life to short, and i want more quests about zaros even though they will proberly be lacking in story

[Crim_nimora]
