They missed a chance to have him be the one to speak with Tyrande (him or Genn) about the loss of her people. Would have been way more appropriate than pampered poodle Anduin.
Also, flavor text to where he was during BFA would have been nice. He appears only at the signing I think.
He was on the Vindicaar playing poker
This would have been fine. Lol.
He lost the Vindicaar in a gamble and this is why the Alliance didnât use it.
Oh man, I almost forgot about the Magâhar scenario.
Hey, do you think Geyâarahâs naked praise for fascism is going to come up again or is that another thing that weâre going to pretend that didnât happen?
I think well all already know the answer to this, come on
âThere are Draenei on this world? Not for long.â
Right. Geyâarah tirelessly serves to protect the living, just like all the Diet Alliance.
I just like how Geyâarah went from âSure I can get behind a little genocide,â
To, âwhaddya mean? I always supported Saurfangâ
Thatâs basically the Horde story of BfA, though.
If youâre Horde, Iâm sorry, but your factionâs story stinks and itâs high time someone told you.
Eh. I think thatâs a little reductive. Her dialogue post sylvanas screeching away is:
Overlord Geyaârah: Keep an eye out for any who still obey Sylvanas!
Overlord Geyaârah: And remember the lesson to be learned from her.
Overlord Geyaârah: She was a strong warchief. She did whatever it took to achieve victory.
Overlord Geyaârah: But she fought only for herself, not for the Horde!
Overlord Geyaârah: We were nothing to her! She abandoned her own people!
Overlord Geyaârah: A great leader must have more than strength.
Overlord Geyaârah: They must be true to their people. They must live and die for them!
Overlord Geyaârah: Do not forget this. We will not repeat Sylvanasâs mistakes!
Does that make me think that she really had a problem with how sylvanas does things? Not really, which isnât exactly great. But thereâs clear acknowledgement of mistakes and learning a lesson from her prior subservience to sylvanas even if that is consistent with the irritating thought process of âif bad to me = badâ they assigned to the horde.
As someone who played Horde exclusively through MoP, I promise you many of us who loved the Horde are acutely aware of much our story in BfA sucked wet hamster fur
could very easily change âif youâre hordeâ to âif you play wowâ, frankly
Also very much this
âI was cool with the genocide, but she didnât compliment me enough.â
you couldnât insult the horde that way tho
Yeah, but we canât criticize the Horde story without some weirdo getting upset.
See?
She kind of reminds me of Orgrim.
I would like for her to get more development and going down more of an Orgrim path would be neat, I think. We donât really need another Garrosh or Thrall, and to me Orgrim was an interesting mix of the two ideologically.
Ideally without the war crimes but orcz is orcz so krump em boyz
Imagine what could have been had they not used the Magâhar scenario for more of their Grom fetish.
The problem with this is that Geyaârah was, like, the only Horde faction leader who seemed super gung-ho about Sylvanas marking Baine as a traitor unless you count Gallywix being a naked opportunist. So having her big realization be âit was Sylvanas who failed the Hordeâ is a pretty limp lesson.
i mean, itâs a blizzard game so the lesson isnât going to stick, but i kind of read it as a poorly-written acknowledgment that maybe blindly following big strong muscles = bad and thatâs basically the pinnacle of character growth for an orc character in current WoW so
