So it seems every new major undead character Blizzard adds, they make them pretty even if it makes absolutely no sense (Derek being in the ocean for 30 years and still being well preserved)
So are we going to get undead with no bones? Or undead that stand up straight? Or does Blizzard just not care?
Well, I noticed it is a trend with Wow races that the female models tend to be pretty regardless of race. The men, however, are usually ugly (Donât worry blood elf males, I lumped you in with the female models in this comparison)
Would be nice to get more undead options. I like my undead mostly classic style, but if I had the option to have better posture or less bones Iâm sure Iâd use it on maybe one of my undead alts.
For example, I race changed for the first and only time so far back in Legion. My lock had basically become my main in that expansion. I usually play lots of alts, but having started the expansion late, and how punishingly unfriendly the artifact weapon system was for alts, I mostly played just one. My lock had been undead since classic but I got tired of my one Legion character having a torn up mog that also had visual and clipping problems due to the undead posture. So, I switched to blood elf. I keep meaning to switch back now that I can play more alts again and because I just have way too many elves anymore.
But yeah, after too many words, more options are always better.
I would generally prefer for prominent Forsaken characters to look like the general Forsaken populace. I like Nathanosâs new model, but this appears to have started a trend.
Youâre in luck. Blizzard ALREADY added pretty undead to the game!!!
Theyâre called âVoid Elvesâ.
Notice the pasty-white skin that looks just like the skin on Forsaken? No red blood cells carrying oxygen flowing in those veins. This is because Void Elves are actually just dead Blood Elves.
Dead long enough to clearly look like a corpse, but not so ripe that decaying flesh has started falling off the bones.
The âsecret sauceâ behind Void Elves is Void Stuff. Alliance imports Void Stuff and delivers it for processing at secret gnome factories. Void Stuff is a heavy-duty preservative thatâs force-fed to every Void Elf.
Without Void Stuff, us Void Elves would ripen and start to stink. Our flesh would fall off in chunks and within days weâd look just like Forsaken.
Upon reading this Iâm reminded of Thomas Zelling. He died and was raised within less than a [REDACTED] minute looking like heâd been dead and buried for years.
