I never trusted the Pied Piper. Alright, he's a morality tale about paying people for their services but he undercuts his point by stealing a town's kids. Frankly I'd rather have the rats than deal with his ilk. In Ravenwatch, a gritty co-op rogelike action RPG, he and some other fairy tales have had the grim reimagining they deserve, meaning the Pied Piper finally looks how I always imagined he did; nasty.
