24日有玩家在blz论坛提出了关于死骑初始任务的道德问题，反响激烈，在第八页blz斑竹发出蓝贴解释。
Death Knight Moral Issues
I don't want to give out all the cool parts of the death knight starting area. But at the same time I think people need to be aware of something.
Unless the quests change radically, I won't be rolling a death knight in the expansion.
The problem is that the quests are unambiguously evil. And you have no option to make moral choices. What I'm talking about here isn't the usual Warcraft. You are forced to steal, murder, and torture, and it is presented as such. The quest text goes out of it's way to make sure you don't misunderstand what's going on.
There were several quests last night in beta where I almost decided not to continue. Specifically -
- The quest where I am forced to murder civilians who don't fight back.
- The quest where I am forced to torture people to extract information.
- The quest where I am forced to murder my unarmed friend.
I understand that it's called World of *Warcraft*. And I understand that for the last 3.5 years I've been slaughtering creatures who did nothing other than carry loot I wanted. But this seems to have been designed with the sole intent of making sure I'm evil. Well....... I'm not evil. If the bridge will explode if I don't torture someone, then the bridge will explode. If the mission fails because I won't murder civilians who don't fight back, then the mission will fail.
The problem with the current DK quests is that I'm not given that choice. If you want a death knight you *must* murder and torture people, and it will be presented as murder and torture. Thus, I won't be rolling a death knight unless some serious changes are made.
这位玩家任务在DK初始任务开始，会让玩家去谋杀人类，此玩家觉得有悖3年以来的游戏准则。但如果不完成这些任务将无法继续死骑历程，就此对死骑的道德问题和死骑表示怀疑，并肯定如果不修改死骑任务将不会选择死骑职业。

第八页blz斑竹发出蓝贴解释，其中引用了一个玩家的话。
Q u o t e:
The premise of the death knight starting quests is that you're still an agent of the Scourge, and I get the impression that the Lich King doesn't share our idea of morality; however, if you're uncomfortable playing a death knight, then that is completely your choice not to play one.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd have to agree with this. The idea is not to roll a Death Knight and immediately have the ability to choose what kind of work you do in the world. When first entering the world you quickly find you are a slave to the will of the Lich King. You do his bidding because the good in you has been nullified by his powers. It isn't until the story further unfolds that you are able to escape the grasp of the Lich King and defect to the Alliance or Horde.
A Death Knight carries a certain weight of darkness, and if one chooses to play a Death Knight one will see how this weight propagates the story line through which this Hero Class is introduced in Wrath of the Lich King. If one has initial qualms with the morality of the class and how the playable races of the Horde and Alliance are vulnerable to the bidding of the Lich King, one should perhaps not play a Death Knight. Their introduction ultimately does set the tone though for the dark power of the Scourge in the next expansion.
blz说明了 死骑开始是守到邪恶的巫妖王的控制，在邪恶的巫妖王控制下才做出此等伤天害理的事，而不是死骑这个职业所决定的。所以邪恶的是巫妖王，而不是玩家扮演的死骑。同时也指出，死骑有黑暗的力量，并在开始的任务里是用这种黑暗的力量去和联盟以及部落战斗，如果你接受不了这个事实，就请别玩死骑。
也就是说，这是剧情的安排，与死骑职业无干，也就没任何道德问题。个人接受不了就是你自己的问题。
