And in any case, Malfy’s replacement while he was taking a long nappy sure caused a lot of trouble, but he was not exactly a leader. if he was a leader, then the random tauren that sent my mage, pre-cata, to collect Morrowgrain was also a leader.
But Tarrok’s comparison is more accurate, he was essentially your Magatha…
Boy, how do I hate that witch.
So, which is it? Did we have consequences or not?
I really, really dislike when people tries to find equivalencies in real-life events. Do not do this, it’s unwarranted, and it simply does not work.
It’s literally (and I mean literally, not nowadays definition of literally) what makes genocide.
I firmly believe Alliance players should have got a story arch to storm out with Tyrande, an active choice, it would make the cliff hanger of Tyrande storming out of the peace treaty more interesting too, and would parallel the choice Horde got to choose the Warchief or Saurfang.
That’s the problem. I have already had way too much shame put on me by a game I pay a sub for. No more. Especially not for that stupid story they pulled out of where the sun don’t shine.
ah at the kidnapping of thrall? that quest bugged on me yesterday. when you go in the ocean, aggra was there with me but could only see her shadow. same with the npcs.
I’m particularly sensitive about it because people like to use it to shame Sylvanas fans in Sylvanas threads, and I find it holds little merit because she’s fictional. So I dislike it elsewhere generally when I see it. Unless it something explicitly telling like someone overly against the new skin tone customizations, then I tend to side on the error of real life but generally real life events being used is different imo especially as direct comparisons to in game events or characters we’re allowed to like.
Sylvanas lack of forethought didn’t make her actions any less deliberate. She wanted to kill hope, killing the night elves and their city was in function of that. It doesn’t matter if she was hateful or not, she decided to destroy the NE homeland to kill hope for the remaining ones and the rest of the alliance. That’s an intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a group/race.
I really tried to avoid an specific genocide because I don’t want to mix a game with real life, but you can’t just wave this off; if we saw what Sylvanas did happen in our world, would you really not call it a genocide? My point is that we have to address this from an in universe perspective, with the warranted investment. This is a matter of in universe perspective.
More consequences that the undead being displaced. Which is indeed an interesting consequences. We have the implication by the end that the Forsaken are still holding the Glades, how will they rebuild? remake themselves? While I don’t like the idea of Calia being our leader, I do realize they at least addressed the future of the forsaken and its possibilities. I’m hopeful for a post Sylvanas forsaken culture.
