Others, like ManBearPig and the Underpants Gnomes, play a bit of a bigger role. Most get smaller roles, appearing as side characters or getting little mentions in item descriptions. The battle for the Stick (between Grand Wizard Cartman’s Kingdom of Kupa Keep, and the hideous Drow Elves) forms the crux of the game’s plot, but huge amounts of past South Park characters, monsters, and events are referenced here. It’s not long before you bump into perennial South Park victim Butters, save him from a beating, and get introduced to the kids’ live-action fantasy-RPG battle for the Stick of Truth. You’re the new kid (referred to, naturally, as either “New Kid” or “Douchebag”), and your first quest – issued by your parents – is to get out of the house and make some friends.
South Park: The Stick of Truth smartly sidesteps one of the issues usually faced by licensed games by having you play a silent protagonist who has just moved to town.
