There is a lot of nuance that is lost in a game world locked so tightly to two factions. Nuance I am able to write with Sarsi that she cannot depict in the game mechanics.
In her lore, Sarsi has an Orcish name, Lohn’osh. It means Hero’s Heart and it was given to her by an Orcish woman because Sarsi stood beside them to depose Garrosh.
She criticized the Alliance for murdering fleeing horde trying to get to shore before they drowned. And when that fell on deaf ears, she and her girlfriend deserted the Alliance in Pandaria. When her commander found hed, Sarsi was forced to kill him to save the aforementioned orc woman’s life.
She and her Orcish ally sought out Vol’jin’s rebellion. She fought at the Siege of Orgrimmar.
She loves Stromgarde, she loves Arathi, but she also loves peace between alliance and horde and believes they are not nearly as evil anymore as they once were.
In game though, every single horde is marked as hostile, and she is depicted in quest text as loyal to the alliance and an enemy of the horde, and every time Sarsi would be like…
Personally i think a merc system, would be nice, you can do horde or alliance quest. Doing your faction quest gets you nothing outlandish other than maybe some side eyes from your factions most die hard npc.
The other faction your character would face a bit of -ism since you are the enemy. Agian this should slow down till you just get the side eye and some unkind words ever so often
Considering they’ve been pickled in strong alcohol and kept in a sealed environment for 10,000 years, wouldn’t that make the Shal’dorei wine-gummies instead? Or wine-infused steak if we’re going there?
I meant the other definition of ‘to eat somebody up’, but I guess this is karmic justice for all the rump steak, and the milk and cookie references I’ve thrown at the Tauren peoples all these years.
I promised myself that if I came back, I’d play more than Kina. I managed to level a warlock slightly above 10, and I haven’t touched my rogue - except to dress her up. I want to RP and level my Panda Warrior, but he only got a transmog - so far. Oiy, and Greatmother. sigh. So yeah, promises…
But like Claresta said, it’s not a job! play what you like. Enjoy it!
