True, but we can’t forget he was specially racist towards elves, he had a grudge against them because he felt troops that could have defended his lands were sent to help the elves. He specifically targeted the elves in retribution, of course, the reason this completely unmeasured retribution came to be on the first place was his racism against non-humans.
Speaking of that and how Arch finds NPC’s, Courier Larkspur had unique voice files, and they are used as the generic voice for Silver Covenant High Elf males. But for some reason, they aren’t loading on WoWhead.
It’s funny that Garithos a Grand Marshal of Lordaeron is the one that alienated the Blood Elves. He then worked with the rebel undead of Lordaeron who now call themselves Forsaken. Yet the Blood Elves are allied with them. The whole reasoning of the Blood Elves joining The Horde wasn’t well thought out.
Well, its implied that Sylvanas had a hand in convincing the Blood elves in joining the Horde. She may be “Forsaken” but she… at the time, was still concerned about her original people.
Times have changed haven’t they? Even with the Siege of Orgrimmar with Lor’themar telling her to not raise his troops.
Garithos only wanted to use Sylvanas forces to get rid of the Nathrezim (enemy of my enemy and all that) and it was pretty clear he wanted the Forsaken gone the moment they finished.
Yes, Garithos was an hypocrite. He condemned the Blood Elves for working with naga but he himself worked with undead for his goals. If that tells us anything, is that he only wanted an excuse to damn the Blood Elves, and his “morals” are as flexible as his goals allow.
“The whole reasoning of the Blood Elves joining The Horde wasn’t well thought out.” Has nothing to do with Garithos hypocrisy. If anything, his actions made clear that neither group (Forsaken and Blood Elves) were welcomed on the Alliance -according to him-
Indeed; it would be so necessary to give him a redemption arc, when his place on the story is basically being Kael’thas antagonist and what pushes him to leave Azeroth. That’s not to say he is just a prop, as he has his own backstory and arc, and suffers consequences for his actions.
He is a villain after all, and while he was not complex as a person, he felt realized in his motivations.
How on earth are you people still talking after a year of this?
I get youre obsessed and in love and whatever but seriously how do you find a years worth of conversation on “I want to play this elf”?
