Posted this in general. Although not sure if i should have posted in this thread on the Story Forum because of what the thread posting rules stated
I think that’s just bad story telling. Blizzard is seems to really hate the idea of players identifying and playing as the ‘bad guy’ whatever that means.
I found it really strange i couldn’t side with Garossh in Cata/MoP instead the game wanted me to hate him, someone whose motives and action are justifiable.
So they write faction leaders that are unrealistically psycho like sylvanas & jailer who are evil because… Being evil???
Zul’Jin is another tragic example. He went from a understandable villain with understandable motives, then proceeded to turn him into a cartoon villain and retroactively now are doing it with Arthas as well as Sylvanas.
