There. I said it.
At least Calia is undead…sort of.

Tess… is that the Greymane chick?

An odd comparison. In the forsaken, Summermoon is worse than Calia. (She chose to reject the night elves and help Sylvanas.)

They introduce these characters and barely do anything with them. Taelia Fordragon too.

The entire worgen heritage quest line deals with this exact issue, and actually resolves it pretty well.

Op hates it. Guess he made a thread over here because people kept telling them what was up with the worgen story in the story forums and him and some vulpera just kept going on and on about savage worgen and how much they hate the gilenean story
They literally just think worgen needs worgen leader when the whole story is worgen came together and said they were gilneans first before they are worgen.
Some people really have surface level understanding of the lore and story.

I think they’re both nice. Tess should have become a worgen though.

I like Tess, she’s basically a reminder to Worgen that they’re mostly about keeping their own humanity intact.
Also, she was going to turn herself into one, but Goldrinn of all creatures told her ‘nah that’s just not neccessary’ lol.
The worgen heritage shows, just being a cursed beast, isn’t totally what they’re about. Tess loses herself to the rage, and fails to save anyone.
They’re about Gilneas as a people/nation, first and foremost.
Calia though?
She sucks, lol.
She comes off as smug because she’s undead without being attached to all the evil that comes with it. She never endured Arthas.
It seems to me, Calia is there to whitewash the faction further. Perhaps make it less blatantly evil, which is lame because that’s why Forsaken are appealing.
At least Tess isn’t doing that for Gilneas. They keep their edginess.

I try my best not to think of her.
I still cant believe Blizzard did that…

I liked the fact that she couldn’t trust herself with all that power since she couldn’t control the rage
It also shows leader ship qualities of letting go of power in order to lead the people better with a clear mind. She will be better than her father in that regard.

I’d comment but I don’t care who either of these characters are. So I’m going to comment about that instead.

Always knew you were a troll who doesn’t even play the game and just whines about things they don’t have any knowledge of.
The fact two people hearted this comment shows how much people just whine on this forum.

It certainly made for an interesting story. Because you get her dilemmas. Both a sense of feeling weaker, but also a sense of guilt that a large number of her people are afflicted with this curse, while she isn’t. So how could she really understand them, etc? So the fact it ended with her staying human genuinely surprised me. But I guess it is the more mature approach. A leader doesn’t necessarily have to suffer all the problems that afflict their people in order to lead them. Not as long as they’re a compassionate person.

Aye, it was a good heritage questline and deeper than what the forum goers go with “she sucks because no worgen”.
It is that type of thinking that gives us bad stories.

Neither of them should be any type of leader to their respective peoples as they are never going to get it because they are not one of them.
I am all for following royal bloodlines to choose an heir, especially in a fantasy story, but not if they are of a difference species, culture, ect.
(And yes, when I went thru British history and got to the part where they brought in a german to rule, I was also appalled.)

That’s not exactly true. Tess is the queen of Gilneas, not the worgen race. Not all Gilneans are worgen.

This is kinda ridiculous because Glinean Worgens, the worgen you play as, Aren’t a different culture or species. They are Glinean humans with a curse, that is the story.
Saying she isn’t should be the leader of Gilnean Worgens is insane. You’re not playing a worgen from outside the kingdom.
Calli thing makes sense, she shouldn’t be around Forsaken, her family lost any right on Lorderon when her Brother went Anakin Skywalker on everyone.
But Tess is literally part of the Gilnean culture and people, and this includes the Gilnean worgens.

I mean, I kinda get it? It sounded really stupid to put a non-worgen as leader of the worgen race. It doesn’t matter how telegraphed it is.
Though I sharply disagree and still believe Calia to be worse, because she (either inadvertently or by design) seemed almost custom-tailored to say that every aspect of the forsaken sold to the player was wrong while also appearing as if Blizzard was “gifting” the character from the alliance to the horde in a nauseatingly obvious attempt to replace Sylvanas + Nathanos with her and Derek Proudmoore, whose only worth to the story is being related to Jaina.
“At least” Tess was there from the start and kinda liked before she was promoted to false-racial-leader.
