A few builds ago, they revamped the storyline quests for Torghast, to find all the leaders, and also timegated it, making it very hard to get this, but I finally did. The cutscene obviously does not play, but the dialogue afterwards gives more than enough context clues as to what is in it.
They’re still being extremely vague as to if Sylvanas is actually working towards what the Jailer is, and what her actual end goal is, but it seems the Jailer, or Sylvanas, has some plans for Anduin.
It would be funny if Anduin is the secret weapon to defeat some other really bad guy. And Sylvanas has to sneak him into the real bad guys lair in the form of a little one handed mace.
Then shes like:
“Now, little lion!”
And he flies out of the weapon like a genie, and gives everyone a stern rebuke.
So Anduin is somewhere in Torghast being tortured by Sylvanas to turn him into a weapon, which can be figuratively (a new servant of the Jailer) or literally (turn his soul into a new Frostmourne like weapon).
Sylvanas ‘breaking everything’ is…annoyingly vague. I was under the impression we would be told rather quickly what Sylvanas was trying. “Breaking everything” could mean anything.
Then the moralizing goes on for way too long, which backfires horribly, and Sylvanas throws herself off the top of Torghast to escape it. The writers practically break their own arms patting themselves on the back for it, too.
“See?! Look at the parallel! Because she threw herself off Icecrown Citadel and the mirror of Icecrown Citadel! We’re good writers! It’s poetry! We’re good writers!”
Oh good … Anduin as the chosen one. Yay… I don’t mind the kid as much as many others do, but his forced omnipresent importance drags down any character and story potential either might have. Just let the brat be King of SW and that’s it Blizzard!
Also … god damnit Baine. For the first time in ages you have a chance to escape being an accessory to Anduin and get some actual character growth beyond your “token good Horde” plot device status … and the chances seem real remote the writers will let you exploit it. You seriously are the Disney Pocahontas to Anduin’s John Smith aren’t you? Anduin … “Have you ever heard the wolf cry…”
That picture is seriously adorable. Love Bolvar’s tea set (did he inherit that from Arthas?).
They said she’d have a scene where she laid it all out for a major lore character. If that’s Anduin, then maybe he knows what she’s doing but no one else does.
