Usually when we come to a boss in a dungeon, we see it as a plus-sized obstacle that’s between us and advancement and loot. But every once in a while, an MMO gives us a figure who actually comes off as tragic or sympathetic. You might not appreciate that the boss is trying to pound your face, but you appreciate its motivation and reasoning.
Who’s the most sympathetic or tragic boss you’ve ever encountered? Is a mind-controlled slave forced to fight against her will? Is it a former ally turned to the dark side of the Force? Is it a mama fighting to protect her cubs? What comes to mind?
Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
