Having played the Alliance side, I see it now. You may be right.
I trust you Ben, but the Titanic didn’t see the iceburg until right before it struck it, and it sunk.
She’s playing something, either it’s to get the Alliance to be more pleasant or she’s secretly undermining the Horde. Only time will tell for sure. Genn still hates the Forsaken so he’s still very much a wild card. Do you think he’s just going to be happy with just his land back? when Turalyon comes calling because he wants his home back too do you think Genn will side with the Forsaken and their legitimate land claim? unlikely.
Turalyon could not want to claim Lordaeron and that’s fine, but he is a warhawk, who has already shown contempt for the Forsaken… that and the Scarlet Crusade are whispering again… all of this raises my heckles.
It’s the way she thanks Genn for being patient… there’s something off about that. Like he’s going to be rewarded in a big way for letting her manipulate the Forsaken. “wait a little bit longer Genn and you will get your revenge.” Maybe I’m just overthinking it. but when has Genn Greymane ever been patient?
Micah! Do you suspect foul play from the worgen? Do you think the worgen will take revenge? You are the worgen expert here. Did Genn’s reaction seem fishy?
They did recast Aethas’ VA and did not redub his poke dialgue which did cheapen this patch quite a bit, doing the BE quest. How much more money would they have to pay Jim Pirri for him to do Aethas’s poke dialogue too? Did it break Shadowland’s va budget after having to redo all of Kael’thas’s voice over?
the sad part is they recast Aethas in BFA and just never redubbed his poke dialogue.
I’m just saying there is zero precedence for them sneaking in a huge, easily missed plot hook into a detail 90% of the players will overlook.
There is an abundance of precedence for the Alliance and Horde experiencing vastly different versions of the same story beat.
Only this time they can pretend it was a character being clever as at least it’s just a letter this time and not diametrically opposed versions of observable reality.
Like I said, step in the right direction. Not a giant leap forward.
Fair, but if she continues to do shady stuff, then I will continue to be suspicious. It’s twice now she’s been on a council and has done something to stir the pot.
In Shadows Rising she brings up Derek Proudmoore right in front of Talanji and Talanji almost leaves the Horde and starts a war over it. This is her second or third big strike. She went to Hyjal to talk to Tyrande and that ended with Tyrande vowing to destroy the Horde if they step out of line. She’s always at the centre of drama. it’s almost like she wants another war to break out, she’s quietly stoking animosity.
I’m genuinely mad. I was picturing my Blood Knight cleaning off the old moss after battling some Scourge. Having a moment of reconnection with the past glory of Quel’Thalas.
Not really. I accidentally bought playtime until July because I completely forgot they changed the payment structure to do automatic 6 month plans.
But of the time I’ve this is the only thing I’ve seen that’s sparked a continued interest in playing.
Also yes for those of you playing the home game Blizzard scored $154 off me before I noticed. That’s my fault for not really looking over my expenditure until it was time to see what was deductible but I cant help but notice that preceded a giant scandal they knew was going to break and a widely reviled plot beat.
Suffice to say if there’s a reputation bar I’m still on Unfriendly with Blizzard. But this bumped it up to within orbit of neutral.
The harp is actually kinda cool. Not drive out of the way for 20 minutes cool but the book is just a title and the plaque is just the Lament of the Highborne
Ren, they should have you as a guest on the Morally Grey podcast. Just turn Fear into a raging conspiracy theorist, and make him question everything Gin tries to tell him, forever.
Tbh while it went on for wayyyy to long and felt like it belonged in an entirely different context I actually liked the 1st part of the book.
Even if I was cheering for the Scourge by page 187 because there’s only so much I can read about fancy elf dress drama before I want to storm the place like the god damn Bolsheviks.
Still, was actually fairly well written family drama. Just completely bizare considering the framing device was Sylvanas telling this story in Hell to a captive Anduin.
Imagine being dragged to actual, literal Hell by Osama Bin Laden and then he just produces a slide show while doing a one man show about his wacky upbringing.
Golden’s writing varies from good to great. Her storytelling however is so bad it’s unintentionally hilarious.
If it’s not the minotaur defense attorney at the Nuremberg Trials it’s a Sylvanas who I just picture opening her fourth bottle of Chardonnay as she regails Anduin about that time she asked for it rough after her parents were murdered.
By the by I will actually pay someone to illustrate the adventures of Bombed Out Wine Drunk Sylvanas.
Picturing her just staggeing into the Apothecary
“I just think it’s soooooo cool you guys are doing this science stuff… ya know, ya know, ya know when I was a girl - burp - when I was a girl I poisoned these duckboys who were screwing with my brother, yeah? Faranel- you, you, you got a brother because let me tell ya something. My sister was a real piece of work”
