Honestly? That's like your opinion man. I don't really care that much between fighting Norscan reavers on the pay of Kislevites or Marienburgers, and fighting Beastmen isn't any lower on my priorities then fighting trolls or whatever.
I mean, evidence strongly suggests it is the opinion of a majority of the thread, based on previous votes. That could change, but I'm pretty sure I'm not remotely in the minority here.
Honestly, every single Warhammer quest is about fighting Chaos. Every single one. I don't mind doing it, it's fun and it has an important narrative role, but I don't feel that it should be our northern star above everything else when we have subordinates who have entrusted their lives and livelihood to us, especially when we can probably do both in most places.
I'm at least partially talking about Fanriel's demonstrated In-Character priorities here. We actually voted on what Fanriel cares about, and it's redemption from her past misdeeds. Taking care of our troops is certainly a part of that, but it's not sufficient on its own to actually do that. We also need to actually do good in the world, and fighting Chaos is one of the most obvious ways to do that.
We certainly don't only care about fighting Chaos or anything, but I never said we should, I said it should be a factor in where we choose to actually ply our trade, and that I'd thus be very reluctant to leave Kislev for somewhere with less Chaos and other threats.
They are indeed entirely capable of quitting in the middle of a contract, that is an excellent way to never work as a mercenary again. I do not think they will take it out of some desire not to stab imperials especially if the stabbing is good and the pay is fine. There is this perception I've noticed that the good guys do not really fight each other in warhammer and if some of them are fighting it is somehow extraordinary and people will lose morale but the lore is full of battles where 'the good guys' fight each other with elan. Sometimes it is over a misunderstanding or a feud, often it is for good old fashioned land, wealth and power.
I was not suggesting they'd quit mid-contract. I was suggesting if we wish to retain their services and not have them quit between missions, we must take their feelings into account. And I don't object to fighting 'the good guys'...I object to going off-mission. We voted for what Fanriel's goals were, and they were not 'make as much money as possible', they involved seeking redemption, which involves actually making the world better, not getting drawn into petty politics.
If we have a chance to save a huge number of Elven lives or deal a major blow to Chaos by fighting one of the Emperors, I'm all for it. But doing it for money alone is a hard sell. Not impossible, because money can be leveraged to do those kinds of things, but it'd need to be significantly more money than we could make taking a mission that more directly involved Fanriel's redemption.
