Quotes
The true power of a game might be summed up in the cheese that it generates. I admit, I'm a sucker for good quotes. Here are some of the better ones:
Y'know, I could trust what she says - I'm on a mission from Tempus.
Speaking of missions: How could you folks NOT tell me what you'd been hearing concerning the Brotherhood? Do you not trust me? And if you don't, then why the Hell have you been running with me?
This feels like a swift kick in the cajones to me. The Brotherhood of Tempus - MY Brothers! - involved in the kind of shit that's been described. I just can't get my mind around it.... I'm feeling some skulduggery and information-gathering coming on - and then a cleansing of the Temple! Tempus grant me revenge! And if You do not listen, then to Hell with You!
I have devoted all my life to serving the God of Battle - nearly 5 decades, to you short-lived among us. Always, always, ALWAYS have I honored the strictures, always have I striven to bring honor to Tempus, bring gold to His coffers and accolytes to His temple.
And now this! I learn that my "Brothers" have been involved in slaying non-combatants, have given no quarter and destroyed the worldly goods of many! They have reduced the Name of Tempus to one of shame.
Well, I say NO MORE! I swear here and now that I shall track down the responsible ones. It may take a day, a week, years - I don't care! The ones responsible for this outrage shall face Tempus after facing my axe!! I swear to send them before Him to render unto Him an explanation for all that has been done in His name!
My god cries out for vengeance! I shall fetch it for Him.... The heretics will know the Power and the Majesty of the One they have dared profane... They will know it and fear it, as they will know me and fear me. I, Gerrin, Son of the Vale, of Clan Nehera, a faithful member of the Order of Tempus, do swear it now! Let my enemies take note, and tremble!!
- Gerrin, The Unforgiven
"Fair enough. So, do you trust me now? CAN you trust me?
I can only give you my as to my trustworthiness - that and my actions. You are right, Jolie - actions do speak loudly.
The actions of the heretics speak loudly - they thunder in my head constantly. I can hear the screams of innocents echoing in my head, and the sounds fill me with shame.... The thought of my Order bearing responsibility for such despicable acts is driving me insane - but I cannot hate the heretics. Hatred is for the weak; My Lord has written "Hatred consumes the soul and blinds the eye."
Vengeance, on the other hand, can be a powerful driving force.... And I will have mine!
I am reminded of the First and Last strictures of my Order: "Never start a fight," says My Lord. "Always end one." This is the First Stricture of Tempus. And: "There are a multitude of ways to fight a war, be it ferocity, deception or words. Strive to perfect and honor them all." Thus reads the Last Stricture of Tempus.
Well my friend, and friend you are, I have not started this fight, but I will By Tempus end it! And I will use all my guile, all my means and all my resources to do so....
I realize this is not your fight. Whatever god you serve, I know it is not Tempus. I will not ask you to risk yourself and your dreams in service to My Lord.
But....
I will not refuse the gladly-offered hands of my friends. I thank you, Jolie. We will fight together in honor, and the third and fourth generations shall sing the anthems you will create!! "

disappeared.
