So I'm just shy of 500 hours into the Early Access and I'm not kidding when I say I have enjoyed EVERY time I've gone to the goblin camp. The way Larian allows you to treat these goblins is pure gold! Throwing a pile of shit in the guards eyes, making Crusher kiss your foot after humiliating him. As well as telling that little rotten goblin kid that "Maybe your parents had their deaths coming." To which the little bastard was like "Yeah... they was nasty ol'geezers!"
I also really like how the goblins do not talk like 3 year olds. Every single table top game I've played where goblins are involved, or in every video I can think of off the top of my head on youtube, people have the goblins talk like toddlers. Yet, they form societies, hierarchies, etc. In my experience, it's always been annoying dealing with goblins in D&D games because it was like dealing with Murder Toddlers. Here, they communicate clearly and have clear goals. It's dealing with, what seems like, European Rednecks and it's glorious! Their vernacular is super fun! You can insult them to their faces and they either love it, agree with it, sit there and take it or you can start a fist fight where everyone enjoys the show! This is the best place to come blow off some steam, pick on people or just be a shit head for the sake of being a shit head. The goblin camp is the internet of Faerun!
The Auntie Ethel is defintely my favorite area / encounter in the game so far. But the goblin camp is a close second.
Good stuff Larian, very good stuff! I would also like to request more fun stuff in the camp on full release. I can't get enough of this. :P
