I hate ALL henchies becuse they aggro everything.

I acctually Like Rurik. His father seems to be the one who is the psycho. The fact that he stood up to him because he acctually (gasp!) cares about his people! is what made him cool to me.

silv3rr · Aug 04, 2006, 04:22 PM // 16:22

All the above + he does nothing about Althea's cruel death, or so I remember >_>

Riken Chrono · Aug 04, 2006, 04:25 PM // 16:25

well i think hes kinda cute

leon fire storm · Aug 04, 2006, 04:28 PM // 16:28

you think ruriks cute ewwwwww... thats kinda weird

Buns United · Aug 04, 2006, 04:31 PM // 16:31

Gotta blame someone for the Charr invasion..

But seriously, apart from his (wannabe) heroic behavior, he is actually usefull in some missions.

Vote 'Yes' for Bunnies?? as Pets!

[PS. Too bad I don't remember in which missions he had any use,

I even did whole ascalon -> northern shiverpeaks yesterday with new character]

Ryn Tyn Tyn · Aug 05, 2006, 01:35 PM // 13:35

I've always liked Rurik.

Sure it's a pain to keep him alive in some missions, but I also think it is kind of fun to try.

And I love all his charging into battle sayings, "For Ascalon!"

And if Rurik hadn't been so heroic and disobayed his father we all would never have made it to Kryta

I totally agree with you both. I love the fact that he stood up to his father in order to save the people. In fact, it's still my favorite cut scene in both chapters. He is a challenge, that's for sure. I also get a kick out of all the things he says as he's charging in to battle besides the "for ascalon". He is a hoot.

mathijn · Aug 05, 2006, 01:56 PM // 13:56

I love one of his special skills: Knock

but indeed, he's sucks 99% of the time

quickmonty · Aug 05, 2006, 02:34 PM // 14:34

He goes charging off fighting everything in site, but then he waits at the drawbridge and tells YOU to go around and open it while he rests onhis butt.

Ondo · Aug 05, 2006, 02:46 PM // 14:46

I do not hate him, I do dislike him a whole bunch! Reason, I just did Surmia mission with my new monk. What's Rurick do!? Gets stuck on a chest in the area where the mages come from prior to the doors where he must say his spew. Re-start mission (BTW I cleared the map before leaving to try and un stick him). Not that big a deal you say? Probably not except for the next mission right after is Nolani. Guess who finds another chest to get stuck on!! Twice in a row (not counting the repeated Surmia mission) this fool finds a chest to get stuck on!!! Good thing that Nolani can be finished without him there fighting.

ryanryanryan0310 · Aug 05, 2006, 03:24 PM // 15:24

He's King of the Wammo...there teacher, lord and master...
He's teaches the Wammo to aggro every enemy and to run into battle with out thinking....And to play total f- ed up...

BhaalSpawn · Aug 05, 2006, 05:44 PM // 17:44

Rurik does not delegate, that's why I hate him.

I, Rurik, cannot trust you to complete this mission on your own.
So Therefore I, Prince Rurik of Ascalon, shall run out in front and aggro everything I see. "For Ascalon"!!!

Lets face it if he could delegate he would still be alive when we got to kryta...

Oh wait if Rurik lived throught the whole game... scary.

Rurik charging on in Riverside Province, still at level 10...

*shivers*

D.A.N. · Aug 05, 2006, 07:33 PM // 19:33

I think the real question is why might people like Rurik. =P

I don't have a problem with Rurik's character, but when he's in your party he does make things aggravating.

Plushie Penguin · Aug 05, 2006, 07:34 PM // 19:34

the guy that you help find his girl friend with for the first cathan attribute point quest kind of reminds me of rurik, but he uses a axe and is level 20, fine for rushing level 8s

Don Zardeone · Aug 05, 2006, 08:04 PM // 20:04

RURIK Pwns the living daylight out of EVERYTHING
Just because you can't be as cool as him doesn't mean you have to hate him!!

Just look at the guy, cool beard, his helmet could use an upgrade but it looks waaaaay better than the default warrior buckets.
He has the best cape in all of GW. Nobody else has a cap that long and cool with such an interesting emblem.

This guy, although he is dumb and doesn't listen to his father, tries to save the people of ascalon, tries to do everything he can to save the entire world!!!!

He's like a local superhero.

I'm starting the Rurik fanclub, right here, right now.

RURIK FTW!!!!
