This is including Moira, who pre-retcon was totally fine if not enamored by the rampant slavery that Dark Irons love and shoulder rubbing with the Twilights Hammer. Unfortunately this has all been retconned to be a result of Ragnaros I guess.
I would get the idea that like “yeah no we can’t have a playable race with slaves” okay fine you can get rid of them but make the Dark Irons totally unapologetic and unrepentant about it. This would have actually given the Alliance an edgy race that isn’t contrived instead of turning all Stormwind humans randomly into racists or something stupid like that.
I mean it’s pretty implied that pre-rag enslavement the Dark Irons were still a pretty anti-social culture, considering they turned Grim Batol into the evil magic version of Chernobyl with the amount of messed up magic they used during the war of three hammers.
But unfortunately we can’t have that, because she had some legitimate grievances against her father so now she’s incapable of doing anything immoral for the rest of her entire life. (And her boyfriend also did nothing wrong too ever just for good measure)
Now no longer have their original nemesis, killed upon the alter of ending faction conflict and will be extinct and back to being british humans in a single generation
That ship sailed in Vanilla to be fair.
I think Blizzard is afraid to confirm that 99% of the time fel/void/death magic usage is bad
There was a possibility that we could have gotten that back in BFA, but it was Blizzard’s decision — or rather Danuser’s
I don’t think so — otherwise, the Void wouldn’t be our enemy, would it?
That’s true, but you’re also complaining about a ‘what if’ scenario — something that is no longer the case — and the same logic would apply to the Worgen
100% agreed with the title. Will read the rest later. Just wanted to say Dark Iron Dwarves are one of my favorite aspects of the Alliance and I REALLY wish they retained at least a bit of their edge. The Alliance needs semi-villainous sub-factions fighting against the heroic majority to keep it nuanced and interesting.
I’m praying they keep Man’ari as canonically only on Argus.
Yeah but it makes sense their xenophobia is kind of dulled considering they had to form an alliance with the Humans (and other races). As for their fierceness I don’t know if I’d say its been curtailed beyond nerfing them power wise. In lore do we have them pulling their punches with Horde for moral reasons or because they’re not as canonically strong and skilled in WoW as they were in WC3?
