“And you know what? It’s good that it still hurts. Because that means that deep down, you’re not a monster. The day it stops hurting is the day you become a heartless killing machine, the day you start killing because you can, not because you have to. The day you become no better than the people who forced you to kill in the first place.”

This is coming from THE guy that actually loves killing the Nazis ( For a very good reason. ) by the thousands?

I hate to say it against William/BJ, but what he says not only sounds a little hypocritical coming from him of all people, but also sounds freaking stupid if you think about it?

I somehow got the march song in my head because of the trailer of Wolfenstein TNC.
I am interested in this

I wonder if there is one of my favourite robots in this, the Zitadelle

“Twilight…” The purple alicorn froze at the sound of Blazkowicz’s voice. She’d heard that tone of voice before. Princess Celestia used a similar tone whenever she recognized that Twilight wasn’t telling the whole story but didn’t want to outright call her out on her bluff. “Are you really okay? Because you do not look-“

Flashes of memory shot through her mind, flashes of roaring flames, of glowing red eyes, of the expression she’d seen on her teacher’s face before her hastily-cast teleport spell spirited Twilight away.

“I SAID I’M FINE!!!” She snarled at the top of her lungs, spinning around to face Blazkowicz, her horn emitting a crackling flash of purple light that sent the blue-eyed stallion stumbling backward.

For a long, long minute, there was nothing but dead silence, neither of the ponies present saying a word as Twilight struggled to repress the memories running rampant in her mind’s eye, to clamp down on her out-of-control emotions and regain her composure.

“…let’s go.” Twilight finally said, her voice once again monotone and emotionless as she gathered up what little personal belongings she had, trotted over to the generator, and switched it off for the final time.

He shouldn't "stumbled backward". He's no random protagonist. He's William Joseph "B.J." Freaking Blazkowicz! He shouldn't be "scared" by her emotional outburst.

He would have calmed her the f*** down! Or even slapped her to get a damn grip!!!

I mean, it worked when he "calm down" Wyatt in the very first mission in the New Order.

Twilight should apologize in the next chapter.

"I take it, based on what you just pulled out, that that “idea” involves breaking somebody out of a Nazi prison?” B.J. guessed, his sky-blue eyes analyzing the first map.

“Yeah. Eisenberg prison, to be exact.” Twilight responded as she unfolded the second map, this one of the tunnels and caves under Canterlot. Specifically, the tunnels and caves caves they’d have to go to in order to reach the prison. With the maps out, she pulled out the last two things in the folder; a pair of sheets with Häftlings-Personal-Datei emblazoned on the top of each. Beneath those words were photos of the Häftlings—a.k.a. prisoners —in question.

Jeez, total Deja Vu much?

B.J. glanced down at his front hoofs, at the flecks of blood scattered across them. “All you can do is try and kill them first, and hope the world will be a better place without them.”

Stupid ass question. BOTH worlds would definitely be better off without the Nazi ruling. I can tell ya that much.

“When I first shot someone, I felt the same,” B.J. said, thinking back to the first time he’d shot a Nazi. Just like Twilight, he hadn’t really had much of a choice, but that didn’t make the nausea any less intense, the scream of agony and horror his opponent had let out as he bled out on the floor any less gut-wrenching.

Wow? Even you? No offense, it's just that this is coming from a guy that is a total expert at killing Nazis around the thousands.

And it's also a ancestor to another badass that kills demons for eons.

nazi bastards displaying historically accurate behavior in circumstances that couldn't possibly get more historically inaccurate.

What do you mean by that?

“…why …why did we have to kill them? Why can’t they just leave us alone?”

B.J. let out a long, drawn-out sigh. “Far as I can tell, it boils down to how they see the world around them. They’re completely certain that their worldview is the correct one, and don’t want to acknowledge anything that proves that worldview wrong. So they get rid of anything that doesn’t fit.”

“Why can’t they just acknowledge that they’re wrong?”

B.J. shrugged. “Not sure, honestly. Probably a combination of fear, arrogance, and narrow-mindedness, if I had to guess.”

The purple mare let loose a small huff. “I… I wish I could just tell them that they didn’t have to hurt people, that they could just live and let live…”

“Same here. If there was some magical phrase I could’ve said to get those six Nazi bastards back there that could’ve made them realize the error of their ways and renounce their allegiance to the Third Reich, I would’ve been shouting it at the top of my lungs.” The captain admitted, and Twilight stifled a small giggle. “But you can’t convince someone that what they’re doing is wrong when they’d rather kill you than hear what you’re saying. When they’d rather die than let you live.”

You sadly still don't get it, Twilight. There are just that kind of people or group that enjoys and enforce this messed up shit.

If you had knew what these Nazis have done to their original alternate Earth of Wolfenstein ( Where BJ also comes from. ).

You never understand true cruelty until you tragically see it right in front of you.

Then, and only then. will you have finally realized that you have no choice but to kill than rather make "peace and understanding" with the Nazi Regime.

Sure, they're GOOD Germans that don't agree or don't want to be a Nazi. But so far, saldy there are a miniscule group.

Nicely done! And Pardon about my last comment, old habit

I kinda have to disagree. He hates nazis enough to want them dead, yes, but if you pay attention to his dialogue and a few choice cutscenes (particularly the imagined/hallucinated ones), you'll notice that deep down, he wants a peaceful, normal life, and seems more driven to kill Nazis by the (very justified) feeling that he has to in order to make a peaceful, normal life possible for everyone else than any love for the activity.

He shouldn't "stumbled backward". He's no random protagonist. He's William Joseph "B.J." Freaking Blazkowicz! He shouldn't be "scared" by her emotional outburst.

Yeah, B.J. getting scared by Twilight's emotional outburst does seem a bit out of character... until you consider the fact that that emotional outburst was paired with a magical outburst, and that a handful of seconds ago, a different magical outburst from Twilight blew the head off of a Nazi, and a Nazi in Da'at Yitude-derived power armor to boot.

Stupid ass question. BOTH worlds would definitely be better off without the Nazi ruling. I can tell ya that much.

B.J. isn't just talking about killing nazis here; he's talking about killing in general. Also, keep in mind that Twilight's never really been faced with a kill-or-be-killed situation until this point.

What do you think I mean by that?

11682199
Yes, there's going to be killer robots aplenty... and they'll have acquired some new tricks to boot.
