Or they could have simply been bitter that they squandered everything they had and hated to see the Forresters succeed. The Whitehills being bitter isn't indicative of wrongdoing on the part of the Forresters. And even if the Forresters had treated with contempt in the past it doesn't justify beating a severely injured man or terrorizing the civilian population.
Nothing you've said in any way defends the actions of Gryff or Ludd Whitehill.
Never been subservient to the Forresters? Well according to in-game dialogue they have been.
"It was bad when you were above us but n… moreow its even worse cause you can't see how far you've fallen" - Gryff Whitehill
"You Forresters have shit on us for generations. Well now the starks are no longer around to have your back, are they? Were the power in the North now." - Ludd Whitehill.
Supporting enough for you? Alright they never "swore fealty" to the Forresters. They would have probably had to bend the knee for the Starks who we gladly followed. We we're probably tasked with keeping the Whitehills in check just as the Whitehills are being tasked to keep us in line. We were higher up in the food chain with the Starks in power the same way the whitehills are higher in the food chain with the boltons in power. That is all that i meant,
I agree - My Rodrik promises Elaena to kill Gryff. He knew he was absolutely dependent on Elaenas Guard - if she´d withdraw her aid, House Forrester would be dead. And, taking into account everything that´s happened in the game of thrones in general and the whitehill-behaviour up to this Point, he realised that IF Gryff survived the attack, he would find a way to avenge the humiliation of being beaten by a cripple; he´d probably take it out on an even weaker Opponent, aka Rodriks Sister or younger brother. So, when my Gryff decided to finally act against Gryff, he acted to kill him. With a Walking stick, if Need be.
I'm partly wondering how many people kept on clicking the prompts in hopes that they were one click away from killing Gryff. I held back onc… moree the cane came up, but I really wanted to make a crack at Gryff for calling my bluff and making a quip about using a walking stick against him. I promise Elaena that I'll kill him to protect her, and suddenly I'm not allowed to fetch a cheese knife? It worked out well in the end, I guess.
The Starks liking the Forresters only kept the Whitehills from attacking them. The Whitehills didn't have to completely obey the Forresters because Eddard was even handed and honorable in his business. It's very hard to picture Eddard sending his men to eradicate the Whitehills because they didn't bend the knee to the Forresters.
I meant it more like the situations were reversed. Im sure the starks would have been on our side when they were Wardens of the north which… more means the whitehills would need to obey us the same way that we have to obey them now. I don't mean that the Forresters were Wardens of the north. Im very well aware of the hierarchy in Westeros lol
You didn't see him ? He's a very important character, he's even in the Codex !
Jokes aside, a controversial character from The Walking … moreDead game also made by Telltale. Some people love him, some people hate him, his attitude towards you depends on the choices you made.
But he has a similar scene to Rodrik's beating up of Gryff, except he plays Griff's role, getting beat up (and blinded) to protect a little girl.
So on one hand we have a guy imprisoned against his will, who had one of his friends killed and got beat up to cover a little girl and on the other hand we have a sadistic moron who gets what he deserves.
But I won't bother going any further, people have covered that extensively already.
