Aponi would be ok she’s pretty cool but out of All those names Honestly Hamuul is the best choice
Anyone but Baine or Magatha.
The problem is that Baine was a speechless NPC for years. When he finally got something to do, he warned the Alliance before Theramore happened. Which would be fine, if he had not repeated that “treachery” again in BfA. He also acted for Derek’s sake as a Forsaken, but… Baine hasn’t really had a “For the Horde!”-moment, except maybe his sorrow about’s the Horde’s “illness” when he talked to Jaina.
It’s just like Anduin - both are too innocent and kind-hearted - I guess that’s why they gave him this questline. Being a “raging bull” with the centaurs of all people, after being that levelheaded regarding Magatha, Garrosh and Sylvanas, just doesn’t sit well in my opinion.
And I won’t even talk about his and Thrall’s ridiculous actions in Shadowlands.
Since the Horde leaders lack magical power right now, they could have turned him into a Spiritwalker. Let him relive the fate of the Tauren through the eyes of his ancestors, therefore giving him a personal reason to enrage. Make him interesting.
Right now, he’s just an average warrior with a kind heart.
Aye! I vote for Aponi as the new leader, while Baine should go full time Alliance.
The two should go together on their own adventures, with occasional cameos. Would probably be the best solution.^^
Ehh I don’t know.
I thought they were tauren born with the gift and white fur plus they’re priests or shaman.
Honestly I’ve been wondering what they’re doing to him for a while. Like you said he was all love and peace and turned traitor because he didn’t like the war. Darn Saurfang got in his head. Then in Shadowlands he’s a total wimp and is all “I shall help you heroes to save those who’ve been taken” only to sit on his butt and do nothing the entire expansion. We finally get a chance to figure out what’s going on by having Sylvanas wake up and spill the beans about how to defeat the jailer and he flat out says “Maybe she shouldn’t wake up at all” like some butt hurt fan boy because she killed Saurfang in a duel to the death. I mean hey I know folk were mad at her but I wanted to slap Baine and tell him to zip it and go back to his corner when he said that. Then at the pre expansion event all he does is whine and complain and cry because Anduin is gone and he misses him and then has the nerve to act like he’s the new chief speaking for the horde when we get ready to head for the dragon isles when that was supposed to be a council vote. Now he’s blood thirsty against centaur… can we just like let me knock him out cold and stuff him in a closet…I’m getting sick of him already. His father was more fit to be chief and didn’t fly off the handle like this and the only reason Cairne is dead is Magatha and her poison on garrosh’s axe. That or put a muzzle on him and put this mad bull on a leash or something. I swear if he tries to make the tauren join the alliance I’m gutting him for treason…I’m sick of Baine’s antics. I mean of all the stunts to give tauren their totem weapon at long last it’s following this nut job around snuffing out centaur?
Tries to imagine some weird screeching little fox plushy in front of Baine.
I cant turn into a fart cloud like her, but even Sylvanas was scared of him
“Be mindful of your own words, Sylvanas,” Vol’jin said. “You don’t know when you gonna have to eat them.”
“Fortunately, I do not have to be mindful of what I say when all of Azeroth is watching, or else I might become as much a boot-licking Alliance sympathizer as—”
Baine did nothing so obvious as roar and seize her throat. He merely stopped in his tracks, gripped her upper arms, and squeezed. He was so gentle and precise in his movements and speech when off the battlefield that she had forgotten he was a warrior—and one of the finest the Horde could boast. He could, she realized belatedly, snap her arms like brittle twigs.
“I am not an Alliance sympathizer,” he said in a deep, calm voice. “Nor do I lick boots.”
“Let her go, Baine,” said Vol’jin, and Baine obeyed.
ROFL omg who wrote that? I don’t think I’ve seen anyone boast that Baine was the “finest Horde Warrior.”
And that quote almost makes me miss Sylvanas. “Boot-licking Alliance sympathizer” is spot on
He’s a pretty terrible character. I don’t care what they do with him.
If by “character we knew” you mean "literally they took the name from one generic tauren in a mission and put it on another generic tauren in a mission. It’s not like Bovan ever, you know, had a personality or a history that we got to know.
People who have imprisoned and tortured Baine: Sylvanas, the Jailer, centaur.
People who have not imprisoned or tortured Baine: the Alliance.
Not complicated.
Yep, sounds about right. Only cares about himself.
Well duh. Caring about the Horde is a lost cause, Saurfang had a whole cinematic about that.
Saurfang had a lot of cinematics.
I think my favorite was his whiny “pauldrons off” cinematic because the very next day he acted like it never happened.
Oh my, I was going to unsub for good, but if I can play with my buddy Baine, I’ll resub!
So, I assume the Green Dragonflight or even us can’t just go up to Baine and be like: “Hey, these Centaur are cool, don’t worry about them, they helped us stop the Primalists.”
Shhh
Blizzard doesn’t want your logic when pointing out plot holes in their amazing story.
I do not even care anymore about the writing in this game, just consume product bit is best used.
