And the more Blizz tries to make people feel bad for being Sylvanas loyalists, the more they rebel and keep supporting her.
Hell, I wouldn’t have sided with Sylvanas in the quests, but just out of stubborness and to not swallow this garbage that blizz is offering us I sided with the Banshee Queen.
Not proud of it, nor I would be proud if had sided with Sadfang. We don’t have anywhere to go.
Good grief I just want this expansion to end. I will make a thread in the Story forum for us all to pretend that this never happened and it was just a collective hallucination.
This is true not only as a personal view, but also as a narrative standpoint.
When you give options that won’t affect the outcome, it’s not an option at all. It only creates false expectations and frustration. If they are going to make only ONE outcome for this, then don’t give players a choice. Make it mandatory to side with sadfang, help Baine giving Derek back to Jaina and then genuinely rescue Baine.
Cut this pLaY aLoNg crap they came up with, as Puppy said, IT’S POINTLESS.
What is gonna happen at the end?
Sylvanas: Champion! Traitors from the Horde and the Alliance dogs came to kill me. Play along with their attack, it’s all part of my master plan.
Yeah I do as well, and the best you get is “Don’t worry I have a plan.” And then when she’s about to do her big whatever Saurfang throws his axe into her back and snarks at her with “Honor means nothing to a corpse.”
BUt yeah, either commit to making the choices mean something, or don’t have them. Make a narrative that isnt awful and doesn’t cause a divide in the first place.
The worst part for me personally is you know their going to trash on Sylvanas, like bad talk her and everything. LIke gag I get to hear this from Saurfang of all people.
And to make matters worse prolly will have a very emotional scene with nathanos that I will be divided between puking because this whole expansion is a convoluted mess and legit crying full emotive because my heart melts easily.
God I just want this madness to end.
Edit: Dude, Sylvanas is one of my favorite characters, I like her SO MUCH. Pains me a lot to see what is happening and the path that they put her in. Just like garrosh its another amazing character going to waste due to rule of cool, bad writing and general incompetence.
And that’s going to be even worse because they’re going to prove that they could do something amazing for Sylvy and Nathanos…but it’s not until they are dying that they do anything that isn’t zug town.
Like look at the space goats. Have they done anything offensively awful this expac? Nope, just sat and chilled. ANd while that doesn’t make alot of sense in a world at war, they’re not being dragged through the mud.
Everyone whining about Saurfang and Thrall being in a cinematic and not Sylvanas or another Horde character.
Meanwhile the Alliance is still sitting here waiting for a single damn cinematic while the Horde are about to get their 2nd high res one in a single expansion.
