I don’t have Twitter/X so it is kind of pointless of me to say but:
#NoChanges
Leave WarCraft Orcs & Humans and WarCraft II: Tides of Darkness alone! Want to redo the graphics? Fine. But leave the classics be. I hate the retconned lore.
I am of the opinion that modern lore should be changed to fit old lore, not the other way around.

It would certainly be refreshing to see the canonised version playable.
ot, does anyone know what happened to the cosmology thread?
99% certained it got nuked because people were talking about Kosak.
“Everywhere he turned there was destruction and devastation. Buildings burned despite being made of stone. Bodies and rubble littered the street. Blood flowed across the flagstones, pooling here and there. Screams indicated that survivors had been found and were being tortured. Doomhammer nodded. It was good.”

oh hey what do you know
an after-the-game-was-launched piece that changed the character to be vapidly evil, proving my point.
orgrim didn’t kill stormwind for the sake of killing stormwind.
he killed stormwind because he didn’t believe the humans wouldn’t exterminate his entire race.
he was wrong.
the humans enslaved as many orcs as they possibly could and used them for gladiatorial combat.
You could probably give Rosenburg the benefit of the doubt since he was likely working more with the comedic-level evil horde from Warcraft 2 then the more nuanced take from Lord of the Clans.
In the original game Ogrim also calls Anduin Lothar to a location under supposed terms of peace for talks, and ambushes and kills him like a coward. Think they’ll keep that in or go with the current retcon?
