I don't think I'll be converting to the new puppet god.
I feel that, under Banjo's divine rule, things were more interesting and realistic. The enemies of His divine word were more than just an endless number to be slaughtered. They were beings just like us, with interesting and full personalities. Remember that time a foul temptress came into Neophyte Gronk's room and tried to seduce him to the side of evil? Our new foes can't do that any more. They're nothing like us, despite seeming to be that way. We orcs have little way of knowing what to expect of our enemies without being explicitly told what to look for.
All Giggles' new book of commandments seems to focus on is fighting our enemies. What will we violent and bloodthirsty Orcs who constantly wage war upon the other races do when we are at peace? Furthermore, Giggles implies that there are foes significantly weaker than us that we could splay open with a single lunge from a sword, or one swift wallop with our clubs, yet could still cause significant harm to us with their own weapons if not dealt with properly.
Banjo was more realistic. He taught us a more fair and understandable way of life; such as how one may continue fighting as long as his "Hit points", the divine measurement for one's well-being, were greater than zero, or how some of his higher Shamans could freeze time by calling out a series of strange words and waving their hands around. And on the topic of our Shamans, I feel they were fine they way they are. Sure, Banjo offered them some extra options, but their ability to choose a path in their intense ancestor-worship is what set them apart for our more warlike tribesmen, who were allowed a fully-equal selection of options, such as how hard to stab or club their enemies. Or whether they should stab or club their enemies. Or which enemy to club or stab. It wasn't like our Shamans were able to do anything that let them lord over us and make us feel inadequate, right?
I feel that Chief Grukgruk is making a mistake by accepting this new version of puppet god. He is too fighting-oriented and is unrealistic. We should stay with old puppet god, Banjo. All our new puppet god does is talk about how we need "more pigs."
