Like doing the very obvious “end of xpac” quest for that personal tabard
Genuinely didn’t know who any of these NPCs who were all like “wow good to see you again friend”
I actually remembered more about SL than this lol, I can’t remember any of the stories for the questing zones cuz it just felt like nothing happened.
We killed some “not shaman”, fought dragon lady, other dragons happened, then Deathwing, then NotDeathwing tree
Besides Fyrakk who was everywhere, and Iridikron who was all sneaky beaky, I don’t think a single new character left any kind of impression

I like the exp, one with new class/race it is not going to be easy to forget really. Also new protodrake and aspecs.

I remember SL for how terrible the story was. The big villain was a robot, whoopty-doo. We met some beings older than the Titans who still needed our help, but otherwise have no use ever again.

In term of features and gameplay it was one of the best.
In term of story and vibe it was just as good as a cartoon for children.

Still counts as remembering it, DF just kinda existed
Oh gameplay was fine for the most part, I have no major (vengeance DHs) complaints about it

I remembered the centaur couple in OP, the 2 dragons with the ducklings in the Waking Shores and the Gnoll Mon-Ark.
The rest, however, I do not remember them.

I’ll remember DF too for the lizards and the never-seen-them-before dragons who once fought with the other useless dragons in our lives, but somehow lost to our inept clown aspects.
Then we restored their “ancient power” so they can continue being useless and failing to help us topple the next villain.

Oh yea, I remember a buncha classy people got really mad over that
I legit thought you mean their power thing after the fyrakk fight, I had to look it up and I forgot entirely that the start of the xpac was us activating those stone things

I like the War of the Scaleborn book. It’s such a shame that so much of that wasn’t translated to in-game

You say that like it’s a good thing; Shadowlands is only remembered as an absolute travesty. If Dragonflight is “forgotten” by people who aren’t paying attention anyways, then that’s a massive improvement in quality!

It was forgettable because nothing interesting happened
shadowlands was unforgettable because of how horrible and inept the story was

Ready for the hottest take ever?
I kinda like Zovaal, and would actually be happy to see him return somehow

It’s not a hot take; that’s quite literally molten magma.

It was too much like Cataclysm for me. I only just came back after a year to level my alts for TWW.
I love Alexstrasza. But that’s about it for this one. Again, tons of Druid and shaman themes. Again.
I’m also weird and don’t like dragons all that much. I find them weird having 6 limbs. Freaks me out.

DF would have been the best expansion if it had 1 more patch, and the story/setting wasn’t terrible

Honestly, this feels like a setup expansion. This is more about building the ground work for the next expansions than this story itself.
In terms of systems and gameplay, I feel it is pretty much as good as it can get, now borrowed power system, no AP to farm, I can just queue up PVP and just play.
In terms of characters, the main focus were the aspects, and those we knew for a while. The main villains (the primal incarnates) to me were pretty amazing and had great roles. As far as side characters go, the only ones I really will remember is Malicia and Emberthal.

For me, SL, story-wise, has generally dwindled to vague (albeit sour) impressions. Unlike BfA, there were no stand out zone quests, or characters for that matter.
As for DF, it was the likes of Ebyssian, Wrathion and Chromie (and Kelegos who RP’d Anduin) who pretty much stole the spotlight for me, with the Bronze Dragonflight oathstone quest being perhaps one of the more memorable quests.
