As we play games then and now we cannot help ourselves but to notice and appreciate certain groups of individuals who affect the world that surrounds them. List up to five of your favorite video game factions in this topic. Also if you do end up giving a reason please be short and brief as to why. Since I've started this topic why don't I begin on my favorites ( keep in mind that they aren't in any specific order and they may or may not contain spoliers): 4.) Reliable Excavation Demolition / Builder's League United (Team Fortress 2): Why not start off the list with something my current avatar can relate to (Being the Gatsby Medic). These guys I would not lend any sort of expensive equipment to nor even let any of them near an object I value. Still, with the game's silliness/awesomeness, it changes the two original teams from something boring, to something great. 3.) Goblins of Kezan (Warcraft Series): Continuing with comical factions, these guys pretty much seem to be the gnomes for the horde. However, these guys aren't as down to earth as the gnomes, and end up killing each other or themselves with out seeing the consequences in advance. 2.) Enclave (Fallout Series): In most entertainment, the military is probably the least trustworthy of any real world group dramatized in movies, stories etc. These guys though are far more extreme and take things to a new level of extremism. Hell, their leader is a giant super computer. 1.) Combine (Half Life 2): These robotic like aliens seize the opportunity to take the portal rift opened in Half Life one to take over earth and brainwash civilians. This is one of the darkest factions in video game history due to the lack of morals they have. That is shown by the different environments and rumors that have been spread due to dialogue in-game (such as Genocide, brainwashing, and harsh treatment and investigation they do the human civilians in City 17). |

The Orcish horde (Warcraft series)Went from a mindless horde of green skinned psychopaths in the first 2 games to an honorable society with more than a few skeletons in their closet. The sunspears. (Guild wars Nightfall): They kill A god. Their leader replaces said god. Nuff said. Not to mention some members on their ranks carry around menacing looking scythes. And can look like the grim reaper. The grove street families(Grand theft auto san andreas) While a cutthroat group of criminals they have at least SOME morals, And are trying to clean the streets up after a rival gang fills them with crack cocaine.

Eh, I'l grant the Sunspears, but their leader only became a god after riding on the coattails of other people's efforts after getting crippled in her first real fight. xP 5) Ashur's Raider/Slaver group (Fallout 3: The Pitt) - Oh, they're just a bunch of slavers and raiders, you say? Perfect machine gun fodder, you say? Well, they run the only working steel mill known to exist, and their leader is working on a vaccination for mutations and radiation sickness in order to make the slave labor he relies on unnecesary. There are other reasons I like this group, but let it be said that, despite the fact that siding with him is the 'evil' karma route (I should make a 'karma stupidity' thread...) I have yet to do this the 'good' way. 4) Grey Wardens (Dragon Age: Origins) - Dudes drink poison as part of their indoctrination ceremony. You don't much more badass than that. Not only that, but it apparently gives them a spider-sense and a few levels of awesome to go with it. 3) Spectres (Mass Effect) - The law? What's that? I'M ABOVE THE LAW!! Despite the unfortunate abuse of power, this faction is one of my favorites for this simple statement: "I can *legally* execute everyone in this bar. Do you really think the Council cares about my shady past?" 2) The Horde (Warcraft) - I'll admit, I know more lore from WoW and stopped playing before Lich King, but a coalition of stereotypically evil races (Well, not the Tauren, but...) who went from psychopaths to fairly honorable society who manages to come across as less evil than the Alliance? What's not to like? 1) Enclave (Fallout 2) - Villains, yes. Evil, hell yes. Your first encounter with them in this game, most likely? Their second-in-command (Who looks to be about 12 feet tall in his armor) and his two friends gunning down a family in cold blood, before telling you that 'you didn't see anything. Turn around and walk away.' It...left a hell of an impression on me back when I first saw it, and it's still one of the most memorable scenes I've seen. |

The GG's: A group of skaters who bring social revolution through provocative artwork, loud dance music, and probably lots of ecstasy. |

I don't know how anyone could manage to come to that sort of conclusion, especially with "knowledge of the lore". http://www.wow.com/2009/04/26/varian-wrynn-is-right/ I'm not trying to claim that one faction is morally-superior than another, but whenever a Horde fan tries to make that claim they just look foolish. ![]() Moving on. 1.) The Protoss from Starcraft. There's just something about a race of psionic, honorable warriors with ultra-advanced technology that -aren't- trying to conquer the universe that leaves one in awe. 2.) Team Colonel (Mega Man Battle Network 5). A secret team of skillful virus busters, containing an assortment of unique and interesting Navis struck me as an interesting concept. |

in no real order. #. Black Hole (advanced Wars) an alien like army trying to take over the world, lead by a robotic dictator. (though the biggest reason for me likening them is probably cause i was fantasizing of creating my own army in AW1, and then it appeared just as i had fantasied. to bad the later games kinda ruined them XP) #. Enclave (Fallout) (do i really need to say anything?, its been listed twice already) #. Smithy's Gang (MarioRPG) A weapon based Faction who wants to destroy all wishes & create a world filled with weapons. #. Kremlings (donkey Kong) Crocodile Pirates, polluting Factories, And Floating Death ray fortresses, The Kremlings are ruled by King K Rool, who mostly tries to take over DK island. that's all i can think of at the moment. |

5. Shin-Ra Electric Power Company. THEY MAKE GENETICALLY ENGINEERED BABIES TO BE SUPER SOLDIERS. I mean, that right there snags them a spot. 4.The Novis Orbis Librarium (BlazBlue). These guys are not only responsible for completely controlling all information everywhere at all times, BUUUT they also have these nice little things below each one of their HQs. There called Cauldrons, they house souls of the departed, which are then smelted together to make weapons (called Nox Nyctores). Pretty crazy. 3. MSF (Metal Gear Solid). MSF stands for Militares son Frontiers. In case you dont speak French that means "Soldiers without Borders". Its a band of mercenaries gathered together by BIG BOSS. Besides having BIG BOSS in it, it also has Kazuhira Miller (Who is a badass in and of himself). DID I MENTION BIG BOSS, IF NOT, IT HAS BIG BOSS! 2. Sacred Order of Holy Knights (Guilty Gear). Think of these guys as like a military of badass paladins. Whose ranks included MUTHA FUCKIN SOL BADGUY AND KY KISKE. These were the guys who fought in the crusades against the Gears (Biologically engineered superhuman weapons) AND WON. 1. The Six Heroes (BlazBlue). These guys...ohhhh...these guys. The Six Heroes consisted of Hakumen, Terumi, Valkenhayn, Nine, Jubei and Platinum. These guys single handedly fought the Black Beast, a monster who SHRUGGED OFF NUCLEAR WEAPONS LIKE PEBBLES AND WHO HAD KILLED NEARLY HALF THE PEOPLE ON EARTH AT THE TIME. And they took it out LIKE IT WAS JUST ANOTHER DAY AT THE OFFICE. Hakumen was a masked badass. Terumi is the king of trolls. Valkenhayn is a GOD DOM LYCANTHROPE. Nine was a mage. Jubei was a FREAKIN CAT; And Platinum was a LOLI. And they saved the world like it was no big deal. |

1. Fairies (Legend of Zelda): They heal you, give you cool stuff and their Queen once vaporized an entire regiment of soldiers. 2. Summoners (Lots of series): Hello, Mr, Eldritch Abomination; have you met my buddy, the God of all Dragons? All I can come up with at the moment. Edited by EvilMariobot, Sep 9 2010, 10:15 PM.

Oro Invictus (Condemned): An ancient organization of murderers who communicate with radio frequencies sent through surgically inserted pieces of metal. They're really creepy. The Dorgencrew (Rogue Galaxy): A group of space pirates led by the fearless (and really fat) Dorgengoa, but REALLY led by the ambitious and unstoppable Jaster Rogue, the crew defeats an entire nation, a multi-galactic weapons manufacturer, and an ancient evil sealed away ten thousand years in the past. The Mullenkamp (Vagrant Story): Religious fanatics with extreme control over magic and the black arts. Able to raise the dead, create monsters from thin air, and assume the form (voice too) of anyone they have seen. |

The Bombers: A terrorist organization comprised of small children capable of fitting into small spaces to covertly plant explosive devices all around Termina. They have their base of operations in the Clock Town Observatory. The Besaid Aurochs: The biggest underdogs in blitzball history. After acquiring a mysterious new shooter (and replacing half the team) they went on to win championship after championship. I wonder what happened when Titus died, though. Probably replaced him Eigaar. |
