#he also never talked shit about Crimea in the manner of how its leaders ruled. he didn't really care what other people did

nah but listen.
i love ashnard.
THIS is what makes him such a great villain.
no excuses. no bullshit. no sad backstory.
sometimes it’s nice to have an antagonist who isn’t evil, but nowadays it’s so rare. sometimes it’s nice to have a true villain who doesn’t want to be pitied or seen as a “hero”, and won’t mince words when he’s confronted about his actions.
#DCB Comments#DCB PoR Run#like... BK was a great villain too.... until RD smashed that with a hammer against him being an armored unit#even RD never tried to do that with Ashnard and let him stay the absolute shitbag he always was#a shitbag respected by some people too! even Sothe used to appreciate his way of thinking#he didn't pity him or think Crimea was evil for fighting against him. he knew what Ashnard was doing was wrong#but he didn't disagree with his methods of ruling. Ashnard wanted a meritocracy which might have sounded good in question#but all he cared about in people was power and strength. he believed the weak deserved to be ruled over#like. he's a shitbag plain and simple. he had a decent idea but one that in practice was detrimental#it's not like he didn't know it and he didn't make excuses for why it was a good thing#he also never talked shit about Crimea in the manner of how its leaders ruled. he didn't really care what other people did#he was just extremely wrapped up in his own beliefs and super into his own power#there was no gray area for whether or not he was doing bad shit. decent idea yes but from an awful person#and I love how the game didn't try to skirt around that and make him get this sad backstory to make him seem better#even in RD we STILL learn about shitty things he did prior to PoR's timeline!#I've always been so glad they never tried to erase the character they wrote in RD or Heroes#imo THIS is how you handle a villain that you're having antagonize other people and nations#no sympathy. they just tell you like it is and you accept that without trying to make excuses for the character#good for fucking you ashnard good for fucking you
