Am I the only one who like Faelin?

Not a fan of her hair but shes alright.

Well it was mainly cause she had gotten used to having only one arm and learning how to live, fight and do everything that way, for years considering she was apparently mutilated as a child.

Her reasoning is that getting the arm would make her have to learn how to do stuff again, which of course would mean how to fight with shield attacked to her arm rather than her shoulder.

She basically feels she doesnt need it cause shes doing fine without it, and feels those prosthetics are better used for others that recently lost a limb and unlike her, arent used to living as an amputee, let alone fight as one.

Its weird, but i get wheres shes coming from, and ironically, kinda relate in some way, me having played on a laptop for well over a decade, and the idea of playing with M&K just feels alien to me, just like M&K users find the idea of playing with a Touchpad insanity.

Also, her reaction to Anduin mentioning Wrathion was cute.

Captain checkbox is a lame character. Hail your future Queen!

Her optimism is pure lip-service, she will say what should be done as if speaking down to a child while refusing to work toward the things that would make her own life better because they are hard to do.

I won’t be able to play for like a week. But haven’t really got much to complain about from the crumbs I did see to avoid spoilers.

Although I’m just picturing Rosenivy’s Wrathguard seeing her kick butt with that shield arm and has a moment of “I want a cool shield arm too…”

For me, she’s just there.

Yeah it hard to care after the disasters that were BFA and SL.

But theres nice stuff here and there, one of my favorites being the orphan little girl aiming to become a murder hobo like us.

I like her too, she is a much better protagonist than the WoD version of Yrel (before she was revealed to be a fanatic).

More like become a fanatic.

I do wonder if theyll ever follow up on that, considering that times passes significantly faster in Draenor and its essentially falling apart, for all we know that dimension completely collapsed by now.

Oh she’s very much a fanatic now if you played the draenor orc heritage recruitment quest

She took that one draeneis dying words the absolutely wrong way which is pretty funny

Shes okay, plus she triggers balding middle aged millennials.

I haven’t gotten there yet, this summer is being quite good to me, but I imagine people don’t want to listen to a walking, talking, hamfisted virtue signal opening their mouth. Just a hunch.

Nope, boomers are way past middle aged some are great grand parents. Watching over weight middle aged men get triggered over a “woke” character cracks me up.

She’s alright, but I didn’t like how she was essentially lecturing Anduin on his issues. What she’s gone through absolutely pales in comparison to his suffering, and he’s far more experienced than she is.

So far (and i haven’t hit level cap or seen all of the zones yet only the first 3) she is by far the best character i have seen. She does get a bit lost in all the female characters that Blizzard is throwing out there but she also does stand out somewhat as well.

Her voice acting i think is spot on and her motivations and inspirational attitude are well done. She is everything that Anduin should be but is so incredibly far from. In that way she is kind of a beacon of the good characters in how well done she is.

Looking forward to seeing what Blizzard does with her character over time. Hope she doesn’t wind up marrying Anduin as i think he should be with Tess Greymane and/or Taelia Fordragon

Yes - it’s crazy to be worried about someone holding down your flank with one arm in a sword and board type of world.

She manages, which is to her credit - but being concerned about it as the new guy next to her in a fight is just fine.

If she was a white guy with a shield for an arm and only one eye, people would think he’s the most badass character ever.

Now I wonder why a character existing with a darker skin tone and as a woman makes people so uncomfy, probably some self esteem issues.
