Ok, so, I have a tendency to get preoccupied with irrelevant problems.
Shut up, it’s a living.
So, ok, you know that quest in Drustvar where the ghost of Lucille Waycrest’s fiance sends you to go get their wedding ring? And then, once you touch that ring, the power of ghost goo shows you visions of the past, allowing you to see the wedding, and the mercenary attack, with your own eyes?
Turns out, the groom was killed by the greatest WoW character who ever lived; Roland the Knife. Never before has there been a shining exemplar of professionalism in all of the lore. Not only does he look absolutely ballr, but as he shoots Alexander Treadmill in the back, he says the classic, iconic line; “Nothing personal, kid.”
Even though he never attacks me personally, I immediately start bleeding profusely just by being in the vicinity of this incredible edge.
I chase down Roland the Knife so that I can continue to learn more from him about kids and personal business. This is the part of the quest where I get to see who employed Roland the Knife, and then I must do the unspeakable; I have to kill him. Doing so causes the vision to fade and I am back in the present day once again, standing next to the bones of Roland the Knife, with the contract signed by Lady Waycrest on his person.
And that’s where my curiosity resides. If the entire quest was a vision designed to show me the truth of the situation, then I couldn’t have been the one to actually kill Roland the Knife. Unless, of course, the power of ghost goo sent me…back in time? But no, that’d be ridiculous. Time travel has no place in WoW, after all.
So the mystery continues. Who killed Roland the Knife? We must find out, for only the most abhorrent of individuals would dare remove such a precious meme boi from our society.
In the meantime, rest in peace, Roland the Knife. It was nothing personal… kid.
