Yes. There are good reasons for joining either side.
But there are equally bad reasons as well.
For me, I simply do what I can to help people.
And try not to slaughter too much of the "wild-life".
Which is easy, if you have the difficulty level
set to Easy. You get the Enemies Visiable Alert,
... but the enemies aren't so inclinded to smack
at you.
I just fight when necessary: assigned to get some-
one. Or I'm cornered and unable to get out of it.
Sometimes, my character gets "caught" on something
in the area, and I can't get her to move.
As far as the Dracons go, if there's a GF4, I see
a lot of potential there. Those guys are dangerous.
And I can see how, in their arrogance and lust for
so much power, the Dragon Folk might start to
see their smaller, earlier "cousins" as weak, ...
perhaps unworthy. Like vermin.
I wouldn't be surrpised if the Dracons turned on
the Drayks.
