This might not be very popular but please comment if you want this to happen. The halloween costume that makes jokes is a great costume, funny, cool, unique etc but theres one joke that just is too soon and improper and not funny at all.

It says:

How do you outlive a dragon?

Awnser: Run faster than Snaff.

Remove this joke and replace with either of these two:

Why did the chicken cross the road? He thought he was Logan Thackery.

Why will Braham never amount to anything and have no norn legacy. His mom was Eir, the Norn who should of died instead of Snaff but was selfish and got a cowardy retreat to his .legacy instead of dying in valor.

See how “Jokes” can be infllammatory even when in good nature? This joke is over the line and even if it wasnt replaced it should be retired honestly. Most jokes are very general, talking about a race, but this is too personal.

I dont understand how Logan is a Chicken:
-He promises the Queen that he will hold her protection above all else
-He informs others in destiny’s edge about his duty
-When the time comes to perform his duty, he makes the choice he had decided beforehand and informed everyone else about.

Would you:
a. Help 2 aliens, an animal, a plant and a giant
or
b. Try to save all the humans.

He made the decision which duty bound him to make. Helping DE was just extra.

Your suggestions are no different and you’re reading way to far into them and pulling meaning out of them where there isn’t any. I’m willing to bet you’re a fan of Asura and deeply invested in them. It’s a bit hypocritical that you don’t want jokes about their race (and the people from it) yet you’re more than willing to make jokes about others.

You’re terrible at writing jokes. A punchline is called a punchline for a reason. What you have is a page of rambling. People got bored of your joke before you even added your first comma.

I really don’t think the Mad King cares at all if he offends anyone trying to be PC..one reason why I like him. He does what he wants

I do agree that Thorn has never ever been PC, nor do I want him to be.

OP, I am sorry this joke bothers you. While I’m glad you connect with the characters of the game/books, it’s still just that…fantasy. Things such as this are intended to make you react. I’d say it’s doing it job, and in no way should be removed.

This joke is pretty much on par with any ‘how do you outrun/survive a bear/mountain lion/insert wild animal here’ joke. To anyone that has been attacked by one of those wild animals and survived, I’m sure they don’t necessarily find it funny (although some may). Doesn’t stop people from telling them though.

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

You think that joke was bad?

“How many Asuras does it take to screw in a power core?”
“None, they force a human to do it for them!”

“How are a Paragon and a drunkard alike?”
“Both like to shout at strangers and run around without any pants.”

“How do you know if a Charr likes you?”
“He asks for seconds! Ha ha ha ha!”

“What do you get when you cross a Norn and an Asura?”
“A Norn with something stuck to his boots!”

The OPs point was that even though the other jokes are bad, they are aimed at a whole race. The joke he takes personal issue with is npc specific, which is why he takes issue with it.

Although, doesn’t Thorn have other npc specific jokes? I can’t find his dialogs on the wiki atm.

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

Snaff was an Asura who was in the group called Destiny’s Egde (With Logan, Rytlock, Eir, Caithe and Zojja.) Snaff was Zojja’s mentor.

When they fought against Kralkatorrik an Elder Dragon, Snaff died. Some people blame it on Logan because he went to save the Queen in Ebonhawke. Some blame Eir for being a bad leader.

So yeah, survive a Dragon attack by running faster than Snaff!

And everybody forgets that Glint would be killed anyway and that she was their only chance, so Eir HAD to try even without Logan.

This. Logan is the only one of Destiny’s Edge I don’t want to repeatedly hit over the head with a shovel.

I can understand Logan’s actions. But I can also understand Rytlock’s anger at being abandoned at their greatest moment of need. Rytlock and Logan had become close like brothers, and for Logan to choose Jennah over him and the rest of the group would obviously result in a feeling of deep betrayal.

I can understand Zojja’s sorrow over Snaff’s death. But to hold Eir personally responsible is stupid. Eir masterminded every offensive DE undertook, and they were incredibly successful. But their failure against Kralky was a result of Logan abandoning his post. Zojja should be mad at him, if anyone. War is war. Death is to be expected.

Caithe’s wigging out in the game is strange to me. In the book, Caithe was always the sensible one, capable of managing the people while Eir managed the battle strategies. I feel like I never fully got the story of her and Faoilin, and maybe I missed something, but her inability to commit to DE in-game from the start is odd.
