That’s good to know! And the good kobolds are my new obsession! They are adorable and I wanna adopt them all

Yess! Skitter is TOO cute, I definitely didn’t anticipate Kobolds being allies but I’m not mad!

It is not just undead. Death Knights, Demon hunters, Warlocks and I think void elves have it as well.

Can confirm, it also pops up for Shadow priests. The quest dialogue changes if you swap to another spec (as a non-VE or UD) and there’s a ‘hidden’ quest that only appears if you’re in Shadow (I’m assuming it’s permanently there for DKs, DH, UD, Warlocks & VE)

I am glad Rittsyn isn’t dead.
I haven’t found anything for Shamans yet, or at least it didn’t register as being unique to shamans.
However, I do know Paladins, and probably priests also, have at least one quest that only they can get. A machine speaker asks for the Ringing Deeps node city to be blessed.

Man, Granny Scribbles tells children stories worthy of a spot with the Brothers Grimm on the dark-o-meter.

Okay, yeah, I made it to further into Hallowfell and that is pretty good.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m still crabby about humans and elves but there’s a lot of genuinely interesting concepts tucked into those weird castaways and I’ve been digging on the quests I’ve been doing. I even enjoyed questing with ANDUIN. Granted, part of that is because of the adorable Pollyanna paladin who is charmingly stubborn. And then you also have bonkers stuff like the horror movie murlocs cutting apart humans on the ground until you interrupt them and that’s “fun” too.
Like, I’m sorry because I’m usually better at being cynical… But so far, this is better than Dragonflight. And I liked Dragonflight.

I think the tone is definitely different than Dragonflight. It seems a touch darker, in so many ways. I suppose with Warcrafts Dragonflights being particularly colorful and heavy focus on their colors, Dragonflight was just going to be vibrant.
Shadowlands was too oppressive in that it almost felt like being in hell. It sort of did its job too good.
War Within seems more grounded - pun not intended.
I’m trying to put my finger on it. I would say it is one of my better early expansion experiences in a long time. Almost takes me back to how I felt about BC or WOTLK. Like it’s back to Warcraft after a few expacs of a fever dream.

Dragonflight was just okay for me… it was very … I dunno, boring in a way? There had been so much drama from the previous 2-3 expansions that it felt a little too forced in the kumbaya department with sweeping everything under the rug but there were definitely things I loved about it.
Agreed, the tone feels ‘just right’ for me at least so far. Tons of interesting worldbuilding that isn’t over shadowed by some corny and oppressive overarching narrative. Xal’atath is a genuinely cool and interesting villain that got the appropriate build-up from previous expansions as well which is nice.
If I had to be nitpicky, I think my one let-down is how irritating Alleria has been so far. I was looking forward to questing with her but she’s just been kind’ve moody and insufferable which is saying something considering Anduin is also there. I’d also love to see some more Horde heroes in the mix because the story feels really skewed so far. Otherwise, the ~vibes are right~

We had enough light fanatics before so humans in the expansion feels meh to me. Like why to have Blizzard put humans in EVERY story they can find. Humans have zero reasons to be involved.

I am genuinely tired of the short elf model and the human model in general, which makes me fear for Midnight.
I’m also tired of night elves, but that’s mostly because, as a reformed hashtag SAVAGE female night elf player, every time I see them on screen I’m bracing for Blizzard to do something awful to them – either another big dang traaaaagedy or write them as whiny victims who suffer oh so heroically. Barf.
But honestly, the zone quests so far in TWW have made me less afraid of Midnight because they’re genuinely quite good. And Alleria… actually has flaws instead of us being told she has flaws. Or pulling an Illidan and we get told she’s flawless and entirely reliable while every time she’s on screen she’s MAKING CHOICES (bad ones).
Don’t get me wrong – I’m fully aware that at some point in the story there’s going to be some chosen one nonsense hitting the blandest character models and then I’ll go back to my usual mild annoyance. But this is nice. I’m having fun going through the zone quests and not just ironically. Though Widow Arak’ni was such a low hanging fruit for a name… but the character is awesome.

I feel in a way Alleria got the arc that Tyrande got, but in a MUCH better executed format. It actually lands, here, instead of making me want to beg them to just stop giving CPR to a literary corpse.

Honestly, Alleria recognizing that she was being a self destructive idiot was surprisingly refreshing. It was such a sigh of relief learning that we wouldn’t have to be dragged around by ANOTHER hardheaded edge lord for an entire expansion.

Finally finished the main campaign in all the zones and I got say? It was a lot better than I intitially expected. Was nice to see Alleria realize she was being destructive and that Anduin realizing that his best trait was helping people

I want more Horde involvement. So far the game is awfully one sided.

I’m feeling a lot better but there’s a lot of story context in dorn thats in side quests that probably should have just been part of the MSQ.

Haranir not covered yet will try quest it tomorrow.
After doing it, I concluded that the Haranir questing is basically there to give us standing with Orweyna and her close confidant Hannan, I am guessing for whatever comes in the patch materials.
It also lays out stakes as to how damaging usage of the Black Blood is to the environment, which I am sure will not have any impact on Elun’ahir at all as the damage spreads. Nope. Everything’s safe here.

I think IMO that with this new story and lore on the Dwarves after or during the Elven unification… Dwarves have a solid way to become unifying force too… with saving the nerubian, allies with Arathi and the Earth they pretty much have control over the underground world of Azeroth if we count the other races we befriended there in previous expansions! I think if Blizz keep this direction were they keep expanding and investing in the different nations that compose the Factions… the world will feel more alive than ever IMO seeing so many different cultures and races united, beyond what the faction squabbles may bring.
I have a friend who is the Dwarf of our RPG he is all about them and he is sooo hook with this expansion! I so happy seeing him having such a great time…even our midmaxer harcore players is invested in the story, (that has never happened before) and role playing with my brother (they work on the same place so their schedules always aline, I’m so jelly!)
Lets inhale a bit of “Hopium” (We need a emoji for copiun in these forums but Ill use this for now 
lol) and allow ourselves to hope if only a bit as they continues with the patches and saga (IMO).
