Of Orcs and Men (Video Game)	comment	An alliance of human kingdoms. An evil horde of orcs and monsters assailing it. A mighty hero rising up to save his beleaguered people. Anyone with even a fleeting grasp of fantasy stories is all too familiar with this old setup. Well, what if, for once, the humans and the orcs switched places?Don't laugh. You're still the good guy.Of Orcs and Men is an Action RPG developed by Cyanide Studio and Spiders. The plot follows an orc named Arkail who seeks to assassinate the leader of The Empire of Men, who have slaughtered and enslaved his people; he's accompanied by Styx, a self-proclaimed "survivor" and the only goblin known to show any intelligence.A spin-off, Styx: Master of Shadows, was released on October 7, 2014. Taking place before the events of the game, it is a Stealth-Based Game focused on Styx as he steals a magical artifact from humans.After the relative success of Styx: Master of Shadows, Cyanide Studios announced a Sequel Styx: Shards of Darkness, promising "more ambition", a "bigger budget", and a "new engine", was released in early 2017.

Of Orcs and Men (Video Game) / int_14ed6ab7	type	Does This Remind You of Anything?
Of Orcs and Men (Video Game) / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: The First Foreman's "The Reason You Suck" Speech to Arkail is eerily similar to the typical discourse of slavers of the 17th to 18th century to justify enslaving black people, only replacing black people with Orcs, claiming to make them civilized and instructed and berating their tribal lifestyle. The empire building a huge wall on the southern border to keep the "savages" out while at the same time happily exploiting them to build up their own society bears resemblance to the USA-Mexico immigration issues.

Of Orcs and Men (Video Game) / int_1e679bd0	comment	The Quisling: Quite a few orcs have assimilated into the Empire rather than even offer token resistance, but the ultimate example is Marhlok, Arkail's father, who sold his entire tribe into slavery and seems to show no remorse for it. Which is subverted. While he doesn't regret his choice, he only did it to prevent a mass execution then and there and is now the leader of the resistance in the Mire.

Of Orcs and Men (Video Game) / int_21d70919	comment	Crapsack World: The setting is especially bad for orcs, who are systematically persecuted, enslaved, and forced to be assimilated. Many humans, however, don't live much better: you can meet a lot of them living in shantytowns, and the ancient order of the Mages is persecuted by the Inquistion. To survive one must be either very violent or very cunning; backstabbing is common.

Of Orcs and Men (Video Game) / int_2cd8db8c	comment	Fantastic Slur: Arkail loves them, particularly "rakash" (which he apparently says in Orcish because it lacks a sufficiently-pejorative translation). From Master of Shadows one can infer that "rakash" might mean something along the lines of "worthless thing," as it is used by Styx towards his clones. When he uses it on Styx, the response indicates that it means "vermin".

Then it turns out that Barimen was just using him to gain power, and he promptly betrays and tries to kill him. Even if Barimen hadn't done this, Arkail assassinating the Emperor would've had the same outcome regardless—which Barimen points out before Arkail kills him too. All Arkail did was succeed in giving the other nations a justifiable reason for exterminating the greenskins.

Arkail's tendency to fly into a rage usually makes it harder for him to fight effectively, as well as making him a generally dangerous person to be around. This plays into gameplay itself, in that while berserk he deals more damage but loses the ability to perform special attacks and is weakened once his rage wears off.

Of Orcs and Men (Video Game) / int_9136471a	comment	Our Goblins Are Different: Strangely, Styx is the only goblin to show intelligence on par with an orc or human; all the others are animalistic and lack any grasp of language. This is because he's the first goblin - originally an orc - and the others are his imperfect spawn.

Of Orcs and Men (Video Game) / int_b4fae672	comment	Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: The game gives you the option to kill the Emperor or spare him, but both options result in the same outcome. If you kill the Emperor, Barimen betrays Arkail, has his Inquisitors paralyze him, and then uses the Emperor's assassination as a reason to ally the Elves and Dwarves together to wipe out the greenskins. If you spare the Emperor, one of the Inquisitors takes control of Arkail's body and forces Arkail to kill the Emperor anyway.

Both are not above the use of unnecessary violence (especially Arkail), performing very questionable actions and associating with shady people to achieve their goals. They are still sympathetic because of their backstories and because they've got enemies worse than them.

As stated in Sequel Displacement on the YMMV page, however, the success of those two games made it hard for players unfamiliar with this game to believe that in his debut, Styx was actually the deuteragonist.

Goblins, of course, live in filth and garbage. Only very wealthy humans, the Sisters of Laments and the Order of Mages seem to have it particularly good in this setting. And even then it's mostly the very wealthy - the latter simply aren't covered in dirt.

Braggart also claims to have been a member of the clan as a child, out hunting when they were attacked, but this may or may not be true.
