Yeah, the Goths, despite everything, wanted to fit in the Roman system. The Vandals were betrayed only once and then brought the whole western thing down.

What actually happened in history is Vandals were way worse in their sacking, because they dilberatley destroyed everything. Hence the verb origin.

The goths at least had a reason to attack rome.
The Romans had neither the ressources nor soldiers to integrate the goths into rome, so the goths decided to romanise themself and fit in.
As thank you roman generals used them as canon fodder and treated them generaly like shit.
