Yeah, but current wow writers have proven they can’t write their way out of a paper bag.
We’ve all seen what the stories devolved into, and if their not gonna put the effort in, or don’t have the talent, it’s much easier to go the Smash the old god route.
Blizzards idea of a “Twist” happened at Teldrassil where their like “Ooh, Sylvanas isn’t gonna act the way you think she will!” and then she does by burning the tree down.
So, lets be real. Political intrigue can be interesting, and lead to fun things, but I don’t think currently blizzard is capable of such things.
At this point, it’d probably be some ham-fisted IRL political garbage, that I just am not intrested in seeing in my space wizard game.
