What game you been playing?
Warcraft has been Sci Fi since 2002.
Demons are Aliens.
Titan Keepers are Robots.
Titanic races use to be robots.
Several Races came from other planets.
Most continents have a Titan Superstructure under them, usually full of robots.
I love Chris Metzen, heâs foundational to the universe of World of Warcraft. but that guy is a Sci Fi entusiast through and through.
Id love a Sci-Fi expansion, but I do think weâd need a high tech Tinker class to go with. It just feels weirds to have high tech races and high tech zones and high tech quests⌠but be stuck with low tech classes like Warrior and Mage.
Steam punk != to sci fi. The introduction of flying machines and the like in WCII did not make this sci fi. The introduction of a wrecked planet floating through a warped dimension is so fantacy and not sci fi I canât evenâŚ
This is retcon, and part of the shoddy content I spoke to. They were explicitly extra dimensional originally.
Until the retcon of Shadowlands they were a cosmic force. Literal gods. Are you going to try and argue shadowlands retcons are good? Holy crap I hope not!
There is retconning here as well. This was Dwarf lore from WCIII in which they were earthen beings turned flesh mysteriously. Come WOTLK and gnomes were mechagnomes, humans were giants⌠except they were also stormforged before that. Yeah when it came to that retconning of lore it was more like WTFOTLK, particularly because it took the dwarf lore and like Oprah gave it to everyone. âYouâre a titan construct, heâs a titan construct, youâre all titan constructs!â
It was other dimensions, again before retconning. Thatâs why they used portals instead of space ships. Then they decided to retcon draeni and they still get called âspace goatâ for it today. Again, a downgrade of the lore.
Yeah we went over WTFOTLK already. Look at the original Uldaman and Ungoro for a pre WOTLK idea of titan structures and artifacts. It was more mystic less mechanical.
Thorim, Freya, and the other titan keepers were definetly robots in Wrath of the Lich king, my guy.
âI donât like the Lore, so it isnât canonâ
Im not going to acknowledge the rest of the post. Yes, there are retcons. they made the game more Sci-fi. because the Creative directors of this game like sci fi. And I like sci fi.
I like space travel, and I like that a bunch of the races are either robots or aliens.
Just because you havenât liked the story since wrath doesnât invalidate the last 13 or so years of wow.
Couldnât disagree more, honestly.
WoW is full of sci fi tropes and better for it, honestly.
Otherwise it would be another boring fantasy game.
Instead itâs a Fantasy game with Sci-fi trimmings. Thatâs cool and unique.
Thatâs definitely not what I said. Props for actually quoting what I did say later, even if your reading comprehension doesnât recognize a difference.
Duh?
Lol. When you fail to defend your idea thatâs probably for the best.
Look man, If you want to look at a game with Hardlight holograms, Giant Mecha robots, Spaceships, interplanetary travel, teleporters, laser weapons, and aliens. and say âNope, this game isnât sci fi, itâs fantasyâ more power to you.
