Fridge Brilliance

  • "A roadie's job is to make someone else look good." Eddie's most-important function on the battlefield is to double-team with other units and significantly increase their killing power. Your band is significantly weaker without vital Roadie support!
  • During the fight at the dry ice mines, Ophelia and Eddie exchange a few words...

Eddie: Ophelia! My father Riggnarok -- is that the secret you couldn't tell me?
Ophelia: What about him?
Eddie: That he was, you know, your parents' boss.
Ophelia: Idiot. You don't know anything... including how to fight!

    • The way she says "what about him" sounds bored enough that it's easy take it as sarcasm the first time around. But once you know the whole truth, it takes on a different meaning. Ophelia was testing Eddie: since Riggnarok is half of the answer, she wasn't really sure if he'd figured it out or not. Once he answers her question, she realizes that he still hasn't put the pieces together and tells him so.

Fridge Horror

  • Riggnarok's army tore itself apart thanks to the Sea of Black tears. He alone never succumbed to the curse and instead set off to kill the Emperor of the Tainted Coil. The Legends say that the Tainted Coil spent 10 years performing a dark ritual of orgy and sacrifice to send the Emperor forward in time along with a cadre of slaves. It also says that Riggnarok was among them... Think about that. What horrors must he have seen or been through to get so far as to be chosen as one of the Emperor's select group of slaves to go along on the journey? Was he there for all 10 gruesome years of the ritual?
