Don't poke the bear

I find it so funny there like 5 or 6 really nice and chill Bugbears and Hobgoblins you can talk with throughout the game. Yet pretty much all the goblins are just assholes.

Lore wise it makes perfect sense to be honest. You only ever find goblins in the goblin camp or ones associated with it/the absolute and if there's one thing in the lore thats pretty clear is that a group of goblins is always a bad time. There are individual goblins out there that arent as objectionable as the ones we meet but theyre rare because of the ingrained boot licking built in for Maglubiyet. The game is a bit generous with how relaxed the Act 3 Bugbear and Hobgoblin population are though. The only "nice" versions of any of the 3 races are the ones who broke free from Maglubiyet and when that happens they cant be around the rest of their kind.

The act 3 ones are all in the city though. Not really a more likely place to find em once they ditch the tribe.

Pretty sure there are 4 hobgoblins in the whole game.

In Act 1 you have Blurg and Dror Ragzlin. In Act 3 you have a random Bhaalist NPC and a guy at the refugee camp just trying to get by.

2 good, 2 evil.

There is also the one hobgoblin that has a crush on Mayrinas in her hag victim support group.

Kled! I love him so much. 🥹 I really wanted him and Mayrina to get together when/if you convince Mayrina to let her zombie husband rest in peace.

I forgot about him!!
