only interesting bit is that he’s pretty much confirming seeing Arthas in shadowlands
Are we going to see Arthas back in Shadowlands? And is there a chance that we might see some characters that died during Legion – like Varian or Gul’dan?
Shadowlands absolutely provides us an opportunity to explore some of those stories in more depth. I think we talked about some of the more major characters at BlizzCon – like Draka, and there are others as well.
Arthas himself, I don’t think, is going to be a major focus. You may run into him in Shadowlands, but the story of Shadowlands isn’t about Arthas. It is more about Sylvanas, the Jailer, what is going on, how the machine of death is broken and how we need to fix that. And Arthas isn’t really a huge player in that game. You may find him, you may see him, you may interact with him but I think there are some other players that are going to help you out a little bit more.
B-… but blizzard. He’s sort of a big deal.
Like, lets make a Star Wars movie and have Luke be a tacked-on cameo chara-
I mean… Shoot.
I made myself sad.
I personally don’t care about Arthas. And if Gul’dan is there I am going to destroy him.
I will enjoy taking my orc warrior to meet Draka because I love how the parents of Thrall are portrayed and written. I’d also like to see Kael’thas and see if he’s a vampire and if I can be one. Most of all I hope to see Vol’jin and give him a hug for being one shotted by a no-name demon.
This really is turning into Star Wars, with the new movies they were all like, hey guys remember Han Solo and Chewey, oh look there is Luke, and now Lando has come back. Oh look there is the Emperor he really wasn’t dead.
Arthas: “Ah, there you are. I was wondering if I’d see you again.”
Player: “What do you want with me, Lich King?”
Arthas: “I am no longer the Lich King. Death freed me from those chains. But death did not free Sylvanas. Kill her, end all of our suffering. And I’ll give you 16 gold, 23 silver, and 78 copper.”
…You do understand that there is a Warcraft narrative that exists outside of WoW, correct?
There’s an entire game and expansion about Arthas. He also had a novel.
His character arch is perfect and completed. Everyone complains about Blizzard’s writing these days anyways. Why would you want them to paw through something that’s perfectly fine being left alone?
