So I just finished the War Within questline and, as good as the final cinematic was, I couldn’t help but feel that it was a bit anticlimactic.
It feels like the final questline was really building towards something big, and I kinda wish that that something was an epic solo bossfight against Xalatath. In my opinion, it would have been the perfect culmination of the storyline. I picture it going something like this:
1. Questline leading up to the player entering the Priory with Alleria and Anduin.
2. Intro cutscene with Xalatath monologue
3. Xalatath boss fight phase 1
4. Intermission cutscene
5. Xalatath boss fight phase 2
6. Final cutscene where Alleria manages to shoot the Dark Heart, Anduin rezzes Khadgar, etc.
I know multi phase solo boss fights are not really a thing in WoW, but I still feel like this was a big missed opportunity, especially with Xalatath being The War Within’s poster figure.
Let me know what you think!
